Steps of Building A Shipping Container House

Interested in a container home? Today more and more people are turning to container architecture for their building needs. Why? Container house make an affordable, convenient and eco-friendly raw building material. Their appeal lies in their simplicity: you order the number of units you need, you have them delivered to your site by flatbed truck and trailer, then construction begins.They are strong, durable, cheap, eco-friendly (compared to traditional materials) and allow for modular designs. There is little time lapse between the design and construction phase of a container build.

How to Choose a Shipping Container:

PTH standard container house size is 6058mm*2438mm*2591mm，height option is 2791mm / 2991mm/3191mm. It adopts welded integrated frame with PU foaming insulated roof and all-welded integrated chassis. Based on traditional container, its profile material, drainage system and power system have great advantage, which lower the installation difficulty and save installation time. PTH adopts fully automatic production line such as robot welding, which can reduce the manual error and improve the uniformity of the weld seam. This efficient way can greatly accelerate the production speed, and provide strong technical support for the “seven-day delivery” of the standard container.

What to Know Before You Build a Container Home：

You could buy a completed container home from a builder.If possible, one of the things we chose to change was to find a contractor to assist the entire manufacturing process, instead of using one contractor to obtain and modify the container and another to complete the internal assembly.Zhejiang Putian Integrated Housing Co., Ltd.

The service ranges from architectural design, production, storage and transportation to installation instructions and after-sales service etc.

How To Solve The Waterproof Problem Of Container House:

Container uses integrated welding foaming roof,PU density:45kg/sqm.PU foaming integrated roof can effectively prevent the water leakage .

Independent drainage system includes the gutters on the roof and seepage hole in bottom wall panel groove. Four columns are equipped with rainwater pipes and corner fittings' outfall. The water-falling mode is upgraded from free-falling water to column organized drainage.
