These are just a few of the reasons why people are turning to shipping containers every day in hopes of finding exciting ways to convert them into something that will help transform lives, solve problems, or simply accomplish goals. Even after being converted into fully functioning, not to mention lovely, homes the costs are much less expensive than much larger homes that lack the style, energy efficiency, and many of the creature comforts converted shipping containers have to offer. Whether reusing an old shipping container to convert or converting a new shipping container into an energy efficient home, the truth is that it takes fewer fossil fuels and much less energy to keep a shipping container warm or cool than it does for larger homes. As more people take advantage of converted shipping containers for new and exciting purposes, the word will spread and the use of this type of equipment will become more of a rule rather than the rare exception.
Homeowners may wish to store out of season clothing, camping equipment, boxes of home goods they haven’t unpacked after a move, old collector’s items and other rarely used items that they want to keep but don’t need immediately accessible inside the home. Shed - A portable unit makes a great space for gardening items that homeowners want to keep separate from other items in the garage or when they don’t have room anywhere else. Placed directly in the yard, a shipping container can house lawn and garden items like lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, pool chemicals, lawn fertilizer and other items that owners need easy access to right in the yard. Outfit the area with their favorite toys and larger items that don’t fit inside the house, like an art center, a doll house, a baby doll’s pram or a building area for a seemingly endless supply of Lego.
These quarters can be set up with sleeping areas, work areas, small kitchens, and bathrooms – making them homes away from home for the men and women living in them. Refrigeration units are also available to provide cold storage for foods and industrial kitchen units are available to offer a safe location – away from the sleeping quarters and costly equipment, to cook for a crowd. Other sites to consider include centralised laundry with commercial washers and dryers and shipping containers fitted to offer showers and toilets for those preferring not to have them in individual sleeping quarters. Whether interested in shipping containers for hire or prepared to purchase shipping containers to outfit a remove work site location, it’s hard to beat the versatility and easy convertibility of shipping containers.
Installing farms in the middle of urban environments, using no energy sources but the sun, or growing fresh produce in the middle of a winter storm all seem like far-fetched fictional ideas. The container farms are a new business idea being brought to life by some industrious entrepreneurs who see the problems of the future, and are willing to stand up and do something about. The solution of container farms represents a new way of attacking the problem: Bring the farm to the people, and not the other way around. As consumers demand more sustainable, organic food, these mobile farms promise supply their needs in any season, just by owning the container.
