What are Shipping Containers?
A shipping container is a modular, stackable, metal container used to convey goods by ocean or land transport. Many are designed to be stacked eight or nine units high.. hey are built for durability, and are able to withstand weight, salt, and moisture. As well as serving as a great way to ship goods by boat, truck or train, shipping containers are often used by individuals and business for storage. In recent years, they have also been shipped by architects and builders into homes, offices and stores.

Building a Shipping Container Home
Cost Effective
Cost to build a shipping container can be a fraction of the cost of a traditional stand alone home. This is due less cost of material compared to traditional homes, as well as smaller size.
Repurpose, Reuse, Recycle
Each year, Americans throw away 13.8 million tons of metals and 12.14 million tons of wood. Most of this is discarded building materials from tear downs, renovations, and other building projects. Shipping container green living aims to reduce metal waste in the country and repurpose shipping containers for other purposes.
Less Space
Living green in a shipping container house significantly reduces the area of land homeowners destroy during the development process.
Energy Efficient
Shipping container homes are much smaller than traditional homes. Naturally, they use a lot less energy for climate control, assuming the container modification included quality insulation.
Longevity
Ultimately, it depends on what the container was used for in the past, your current environment, and what you do as a homeowner to maintain it. A used shipping container that spent a lot of time on the ocean, exposed to saltwater and high humidity may have a shorter lifespan of 10-15 years. However, a shipping container used only for storage could last more than 30 years.
Less Materials Used
Shipping container modification requires common home building resources and materials, they use much less than the average home. Even if you use multiple shipping containers, you still have less area to cover with flooring, insulation, roofing, walls, paint, etc. You can save on your budget and your impact on the environment.
