Other Uses For Containers

Shipping container architecture is the use of containers as the basis for housing and other functional buildings for people, either as temporary or permanent housing, and either as a main building or as a cabin or workshop. Containers can also be used as sheds or storage areas in industry and commerce.

Containers are also beginning to be used to house computer data centers, although these are normally specialized containers.

There is now a high demand for containers to be converted in the domestic market to serve a specific purpose. As a result, a number of container-specific accessories have become available for a variety of applications, examples include; Racking for archiving, Lining/Heating/Lighting/Powerpoints to create purpose-built secure offices, canteens and drying rooms, condensation control for furniture storage and ramps for storage of heavier objects. Containers are also converted to provide equipment enclosures, pop up cafes, exhibition stands, security huts and much more.
