They are also easy to transport. This makes them a good option for those who want to be mobile or are moving for work.
However, there are important points to take into consideration prior to moving into a shipping container house. First, it is necessary to locate a suitable spot to build your new home. Some cities and towns have stricter rules regarding alternative dwellings, while others are more relaxed. It is also crucial to look into the construction codes and zoning laws in your area prior to purchasing the land to build your container home.
Another consideration is the fact that containers are made from steel, which can be susceptible to corrosion. The walls of shipping containers are thin, and they don't provide much insulation. It is difficult to regulate humidity and temperature in hot or cold climates.

High Cube
When you think of shipping containers, the standard ones are great for basic storage and cargo but when you require more height, a high cube option is the best option. They provide more headroom of a foot while still maintaining the standard width and length dimensions.
Containers are more easily moved when they are able to fit within standard height clearances. They are also great for alterations such as offices or housing spaces where an extra foot of headroom may be crucial.
The extra height enables you to store taller equipment without having it laid flat. Furthermore, they can carry more weight than standard containers, making them a better option for heavier cargo or things that require a bit more space in the upper portion of the container.
High cube containers have some disadvantages, despite their many advantages. They can cost more to transport and are more expensive than conventional containers. The extra height makes it difficult to stack and maneuver and can pose problematic for certain projects and sites. When deciding whether a high-cube container is right for you, it's crucial to take into account your site's transport requirements.
