Shipping container dimensions are based upon the dimensions of the exterior. This means that the space inside is usually limited. This can be overcome with strategic planning and organisation.

However, there are some important points to take into consideration prior to moving into a shipping container home. It is essential to select the right location to build your home. Certain towns and cities have strict rules about alternative dwellings, while some are more accommodating. Before you purchase land to build a container home it is crucial to research the building codes and zoning laws in your local area.
Another consideration is the fact that containers are made of steel, which can be vulnerable to rust. The walls of shipping containers are thin, and don't provide much insulation. This makes it difficult to regulate temperature and humidity in cold or hot climates.
Fortunately, there are several manufacturers that specialize in making homes from shipping containers. These companies can tailor the exterior and interior to suit your requirements. They can also offer additional features, including solar panels as well as water treatment systems.
These companies can also help you obtain a mortgage if needed. To ensure the success of your project, it is recommended you speak with an experienced contractor.

But, with the proper planning and resources you can create a comfortable and unique home using these sturdy metal containers.
High Cube
When you think of shipping containers, the standard ones are great for storage and cargo but when you require more height, a high cube option is the best option. These containers have an extra foot of headroom, but still maintain standard dimensions for width and length.
Containers are more easily moved when they fit within standard height clearances. They are also ideal for modifications like offices or housing spaces where an extra foot of headroom can be crucial.
The extra height enables you to store higher-height equipment without having it laid flat. They are also able to handle greater weight than conventional containers which makes them a better choice for heavier cargo and items that need some extra space on the upper portion of the container.
High cube containers come with a few disadvantages, despite their many advantages. For example, they do cost more than standard containers and they can be more expensive to transport due to their additional size. Additionally, the extra height can make them difficult to stack and move which may pose challenges for some sites and projects. When deciding if a tall-cube container is the right choice for you, it's crucial to take into account your site's transportation requirements.
