Shipping containers are huge steel boxes you see on construction site, which are loaded onto lorries, trains, or onto ships to be transported around the world. They're designed to be wind- and water-tight to shield cargo from the elements as they traverse rough seas or harsh conditions. They're also highly adaptable, flexible and versatile in their application. In fact, they can be adapted to offices, cabins or even homes at a fraction of the price you'd pay to build an equivalent from scratch.
If you're thinking of buying containers, you need to conduct some research to make sure you get the right model. If you buy secondhand, check the condition of the doors and windows to ensure that they're in good order and are sealed properly. Also, examine the body of the container to determine whether there are any significant dents or holes. Verify that all functioning mechanisms are in good shape. This includes the roof, lower side wall doors, hinges on the door and locks as well as gasket seals.

Reusing a container is an eco-friendly solution since the manufacturing of a single container requires an enormous amount of energy and raw material.
