Containers were designed to survive almost anything. They are rust—and weather-resistant and can even withstand earthquakes. They are also built using high-quality steel, which makes them much more reliable than homes that use wooden frames or construction methods. Oddly, they are cheaper as a construction base since there is an almost infinite supply of recyclable shipping containers worldwide.
Are They a Valid Living Option?
Shipping container homes and dwellings are one of the safest living spaces you can invest in. As we’ve mentioned, they are built like tanks and are more economical than their stationary counterpart. They more or less look, feel, and operate like average apartments or lofts. Since they are on the smaller side, you must get used to the open layout. However, some designs stack or join multiple containers if you prefer more space. They are built according to the United States Residential Building Codes, so they are safe and up to standard.
Why Should You Pick Them Over Conventional Homes?
Shipping container homes are not for everyone. However, you should consider investing in one if you want something mobile, durable, stylish, and affordable. Here are a few reasons why you should consider getting yourself a shipping container home:
- It is resistant to all manner of natural disasters, including hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, and storms.
- They are 40% faster to assemble and up to two times cheaper.
- They are adaptable to uneven terrains.
- They use stilts to anchor the home instead of a costly foundation, which is just as effective. They are also safer for the environment, as no trees will be harmed in the assembly of your home.
- They are remarkably optimized and have a detailed design plan, eliminating all accessible spaces.
- You can literally set up and move your home whenever you choose, without any restrictions. You can use your container home anywhere on the planet. As long as water, waste, and electricity are set up, you are good to go.
