If you can afford a shipping container you can afford a greater amount of building material for the same price, your complete lack of construction ability doesn’t make them a better option.
Standard shipping containers are either 20 or 40 by 8 exterior dimensions.
So if you have exactly zero modifications or internal walls, so zero hvac electrical or plumbing and one open space you have about 200sq ft if it’s on level ground which this isn’t.
Your right it’s actually higher than that as other people have cited. You literally responded to that comment describing the sun shining on them as “in certain conditions”
I’ve never seen a house built out of pallets collapse. It’s almost like anecdotal evidence isn’t worth a shit. The stated life expectancy from manufactures is 20 years if properly maintained and unmodified.
Thank you for being rhe best possible example of how this seems like a good idea if you’re a complete fucking moron with zero construction experience, knowledge or ability.
I call him a Luddite because he resists any redesign.
Prefabricated houses dont move very well. A container can be moved with a flatbed and a forklift. I think it is most likely that I will be living on leased property rather than something I own.
I would prefer to be on someplace that is considered unbuildable for most construction, like a steep hillside. A pole building would probably work but the time for construction is pretty long and expensive compared to setting a container.
I hope to live there part time and a shipping container is about as secure as you can get when it is closed up.
Contrary to what others have said here the ones I have been in are pretty comfortable in the heat (which came a s a surprise to me.) I don’t have any experience with them in the cold. I suspect this is due to a high thermal mass.
I trust these people more than the opinoins expressed in this community.
Ok you convinced me please go live in one of these death traps that would actually be great you dumb sack of shit. I’ll be praying for a heat wace.
Youve repeatedly admitted you have zero knowledge experience or skill and you’re still arguing with me about it. I do this shit for a living.
Do you really not understand the difference in internal and external dimensions and how it affects living space calculations?
Who am I kidding of course you don’t.
Seriously are you like an actual child who’s still in high school or something because that’s about the only way this much of a lack of practical knowledge would be excusable.
If your like 10 sorry I was so harsh, if not holy shit you’re the dumbest person I’ve crossed paths with in a while.

Build material is not a building. My lack of engineering and construction ability does make them a better option for me in some cases.
8x40 does not equal 100, nor does it equal 200. What does level ground have to do with anything? You are really bad at math.
You are just making things up.
They look pretty tough to me with tons of bridge girders on them. I cant imagine your house holding up to that.
I don’t know you but you sound like a Luddite and a complete fucking liar incapable of reasoned discourse.
Do you honestly think shipping containers are the future of housing?
Real
we got here this time
God I hope not. I don’t really see a future for housing at the moment.
I do think container homes have a place at the moment. There are reasons I would consider one in the future.
Why did you say he sounded like a luddite then? I’m honestly a little confused.
Why would you get one, instead of a prefabricated house or trailer? Every time I’ve looked at the idea a prefab or trailer would just be better.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Then go live in one
We’ll see.
