When you were a kid, most of us would make prefab homes out of blankets or cardboard. As we grow older, those blanket homes are now shipping container homes.
The shipping container home theme is getting larger and growing evermore each and every day. There are now over half a million containers in places all over the globe. Usually seen in docking ports by airports, when you cruise by on major highways near big popular cities, you always seem to notice gigantic stacks of shipping containers which are piled up rotting away to basically nothing but scrap metal garbage. Today,there are many more ingenious architects then there were in the past including construction workers and builders whom are all recycling these containers and engineering container houses and low income dwellings out of these amazing useful metal boxes.
Shipping container houses can be extremely affordable. Transportation is never an issue with all of the flat bed tilt trucks and cranes available. Plus, they are able to stack high vertically and survive the most horrendous weather conditions that may come our way. It does seem as if our worldwide weather is getting worse every coming year.
The structural integrity is built to withstand almost anything it encounters. The good news, however, is that they are in abundant supply all over the globe and we can snatch them up before the waste away in scrap yards everywhere!
The term “Containerization” is best defined as the use of steel boxes (containers) that can be filled with literally any product and loaded onto a truck, train or boat.
