Modified Shipping Containers As Housing Structures

By Andrew Butler


Leave it to the human enterprise to make do with what they have. Scratch that, we even improvise and make things better than what theyve been cut out for. That proffers a lot of benefits and advantages indeed. Just look at these Modified Shipping Containers.

What makes this intermodal steel box great. Well, of course, if we consider its original use as a freight container, then its all fine and dandy, and you can say right away that its good value by itself. Its amenable to all kinds of transport, from rail to ship to truck. However, its use as a repurposed implement is very great and excellent as well.

Other uses include its being a press box or a concession stand. Its used as a fire training and military training facility, and it makes a really good emergency shelter. It functions remarkably well as an emergency hurricane shelter for farm animals. In some areas, its being used as a school building and even office buildings. Theyre great in being artists studios, especially the smaller kind, and theyre great as modular apartments, stacked side by side.

To spell out, the advantages of this enterprise can be pinned down, among many, to customization. Really, though, its shape and material offers many instances of creativity. Theyre easily modified for whatever purpose you can cut out for them. Because its extremely versatile and durable, you can go all out with whatever creative splurges youve cut out for it.

And then you have restaurants, workshops, construction trailer, mine site accommodations, and exploration camps. You have food trucks and RV campers, if not aviation maintenance facilities. Theyre great as hotel and lodging. And then theres stairwell and elevator shafts, and other means of intermodal sealed storage. Some stand by itself as a kind of abstract art. Whatever the use, theyre just preferable in other areas that are prone to extreme weather or else on top of seismic zones.

That said, its a heavy duty storage option. Plus, its amenable to any kind of environment. Its what you may refer to as an all around container. Its flexible, as well. And whatever disadvantage you may counter, youll find that you can still fashion ways and means out of those. For example, you can put in the fitting amount of insulation or else put in HVAC appurtenances, whether heaters, ventilators, and air conditioners.

Since theyre already essentially ready made, then theyre naturally heavy. Whereas other construction implements can be moved by basic machinery, these boxes have to be done so through cranes and forklifts due to their sheer weight and size. They likewise require some building permits to install because theyre overcome with heavy materials like steel. The permits can be troublesome so mind you be worldly wise in this regard. Only if you build outside the zoning codes of cities, then you might be divested of this necessary step.

If it needs to be transported to a particular site, regardless of its size, then that can be easily done. The shipping sizes come as standard, so whether by ship, rail, or truck, its easily transportable, indeed. Their use is pretty much widespread, so theyre really easily available. It has less nitty gritty compared to brick and mortar, which has lots of delineation like expensive foundations and some such. As already said, its more eco friendly. Its saves many pounds of recycled steel.

With it, the speed of construction is pretty down pat, even with some customization at hand. And all these boons and benefits without the least backlog on aesthetics. They mirror anyones personal style well. Its self sufficient and self reliant, and you can upgrade it any way you want. When you go by these repurposed ship containers, then its literally advantages galore.
