Shipping containers are massive steel containers you see on construction site, which are loaded into lorries and trains, or onto ships to be transported around the world. They are designed to be water- and wind-tight, protecting cargo from the elements while they traverse rough seas and difficult conditions. This means they're also highly adaptable and flexible in use. They can be transformed into cabins, homes, or offices for a fraction of the cost of building a similar structure from scratch.
If you're thinking of purchasing containers, it's essential to conduct your research so that you choose the right model to meet your needs. When buying second hand, check the condition of the windows and doors to ensure that they're in good condition and seal properly. Additionally, inspect the body of the container for holes or significant damage. Verify that all functioning mechanisms are in good condition. This includes the roof, the lower side wall, door hinges and locks as well as gasket seals.
