Will it fit? The Skip Shop has launched Augmented Reality Skip Preview: a mobile feature that places a life-size 3D model of any skip in your real environment using your phone camera. Available on all six skip size pages for iPhone and Android. No app download required.
Choosing the right skip size is one of the most common challenges when booking skip hire. Order too small and you run out of space mid-project. Order too large and you pay for capacity you never fill. We have just launched a feature that removes much of that guesswork: AR Skip Preview.
Will It Fit? What Is AR Skip Preview?
AR stands for Augmented Reality. In practice, it means your phone camera shows you your real surroundings, with the skip overlaid on top as if it were actually there. Point your camera at your driveway or garden and you will see a full-size skip sitting in that space, before you have booked a thing.
That is the whole point of the feature. Not a diagram. Not a size chart. The actual skip, in your actual space, at real-world scale.
AR Skip Preview is available on all six of our skip size pages and works directly in your mobile browser. There is no app to download. Open The Skip Shop on your phone, click "Will It Fit?" on any skip card or go to any skip size page, and tap "View in Your Space." Your phone camera opens and the skip appears in your real surroundings.
This is a mobile-only feature, available on both iPhone and Android.
