A shipping container holiday home is made from a repurposed steel cargo carrier. Because shipping containers are designed to be portable, you can build your holiday home almost anywhere—and even move it around!
With their traditional purpose being to haul goods overseas, usually in rough, wet conditions, shipping containers are unfortunately always susceptible to rust. Whether you buy a used container that has had a lifetime at sea or a brand new container, rust can be a potential problem for any project.
The 20ft shipping container is by far our most popular size, and it’s easy to see why – it’s the go-to choice for anyone looking for a practical and versatile storage solution. With so many practical uses, it’s no surprise that millions are in use worldwide. But just how much can you actually fit inside a 20ft shipping container?
Shipping containers are versatile. As well as for shipping, they’re also used as storage facilities, on-site offices, and even for converting into living spaces.
The lifespan of a shipping container depends on how you use it, what environment it’s in, and whether it’s properly maintained.
