1. Container houses can be moved quickly at any time. Only a forklift can be moved as a whole at a short distance, and only a forklift and a flatbed trailer can be moved as a whole over a long distance.

2. The container house has no special requirements for the site. If combined use is not required, the container house does not need to be placed in foundation treatment, even if it is muddy. The box can be used immediately after being transported to the site and connected to an external power supply. There is no need for on-site installation and distribution of electricity.
　　
3. The interior of the container house is fully decorated, just like an ordinary office room you usually see. The common configuration is: 2 built-in lamps and 3 sockets (one of which is a special socket for air conditioning), all of which have been pre-installed, and they can all be used safely by connecting the external cable that comes with the container house to the external power supply. . The interior is completely decorated, with external electricity, air conditioning, electricity, lighting, tables and chairs can be built-in, and it can be used immediately.
　　
4. The service life of the container house is at least 15 years, and it can be used and moved repeatedly, without disassembly and assembly, and no material loss. If a project is calculated in 2 years, after it is completed, it can be relocated to another new project site in whole or in part, so that at least 7 projects can be done without repeating additional construction.

Some knowledge points of building container houses
In the past few years, the penetration rate of container transport houses has increased greatly, and this is for good reason: they are strong, durable, cheap, environmentally friendly (compared to traditional materials), and allow modular design. In 2006, California architect Peterdemaria designed the first two-story shipping container house in the United States. Since then, the container has been used to build pop-up hotels, shopping centers, and some creative homestays and residences.
Why should you consider renovating a house with shipping containers?

Strength and durability
This is very simple. In terms of its initial use in transportation, shipping containers are designed to load heavy objects and stack them up. They can also withstand harsh environments.
low cost
The number of many used shipping containers is far below the number required for brick-concrete structures. Not only that, you can also save on building larger and more expensive foundations. Considering that labor expenditures are much less, even buying brand new containers is relatively cheap.
modular
The shipping container is the Lego building block of the construction industry. Combining containers into larger structures simplifies design, planning and transportation. This also allows you to have a home where you can grow up with you!
Eco-friendly
The average shipping container weighs about 3,500 kilograms. Used containers can not only be easily recycled, but also reduce the demand for bricks and cement.

According to the material used for the main parts of the box, the container is called the container made of what material. According to the material used, the container can be divided into three types:

(1) Aluminum alloy containers have the advantages of light weight, beautiful appearance, corrosion resistance, good elasticity, convenient processing, low processing and repair costs, and long service life; the disadvantages are high cost and poor welding performance;

(2) Steel containers have the advantages of high strength, firm structure, high weldability, good water tightness, and low price; the disadvantages are large weight and poor corrosion resistance;

(3) FRP containers have the advantages of high strength, good rigidity, large internal volume, good heat insulation, anti-corrosion, chemical resistance, easy cleaning, and simple repair; the disadvantages are large weight, easy aging, and reduced strength at the screw bolt.

Today we want to introduce a living container home built within 3 months, and it uses clean energy like the solar power. The basic structure of this house is a container with a length of 6 meters and a width of 2.4 meters. From the very beginning, this house was designed for environmental protection and low energy consumption. The house uses solar energy and wind energy, no external energy is required, and there is a water storage tank with purification function.

We can first take a look at this design draft, details of this house have been clearly listed.


Let's get a look at the exterior apperance of the house, the main part is a blue colored container, and it has solar panels on top, besides a fan devices to collect wind power.


This container house is equipped with solar panels and wind turbines to make sure the batteries are charged all day. Meanwhile, there are equipment to collect rainwater and purify it, then filter and distribute the water to bathroom or kitchen. 


The interior appearance of the house. Since the house is relatively tiny, so we can see a lot of small cabinets on the wall. Folding table, folding chairs, folding beds are used to save space.


The kitchen,compact but you can find everything you need for cooking.


The bathroom is large enough to hold two people at the same time, and it has a mobile toilet, shower room and a vanity.
