Tiny houses are popping up all over the country as an alternative, affordable, and more sustainable way for Americans to live. All you need is a structure and a plot of land!
Increasingly, many people are using new or recycled shipping containers as a base for constructing the perfect tiny house. That might be part of the reason why the container market is projected to grow by another 5.3% between 2014 and 2017.
While shipping containers are a well known and trusted solution for all kinds of transportation needs — 90% of the world’s trade is conducted through shipping — not everyone is as into the industrial-chic look when it comes to the aesthetics of their living space.
That’s why we’re excited to announce one of our latest projects, a shipping container completely modeled to look and feel just like a log cabin. Its rustic aesthetic with ample windows and wood flooring is sure to convince any “tiny house” seeker that simple living can be fashionable as well.
At any given moment, there are roughly 20 million shipping containers crossing the globe for transportation, but with our log cabins we aim to give containers a more permanent place, too.
There’s room and flexibility enough with our design space to allow you the creativity to organize a sustainable, small-footprint living space. At 20 feet long, it easily fits a regular-size bed for sleeping. And with sliding glass doors, you can have direct and unfettered access to the world outside, wherever you choose to settle down.
When it comes to blending in naturally to your chosen landscape, this log cabin is far more aesthetically pleasing and less visually intrusive than a plain recycled shipping container. All of the original ideas and benefits of a regular shipping container house are in tact, but the added perks of a safe and solid interior finish simply can’t be matched.
One of the greatest virtues of small space living is the concept of simplicity. We aim to help tiny house builders get back to nature in an organic way with a log cabin-style shipping container. It may be tiny in stature, but you’ll definitely be making a big statement.

A market that is larger in the United Kingdom than restaurants, takeout food, and civil engineering combined — have any idea what it is? You might guess something that has to do with technology or entertainment, but that’s not the case. The shipping industry is much larger than you might’ve thought.
Shipping Industry
At any given moment in a day, there are more than 20 million containers being shipped across the world. Steel cargo container exports going out and containers being imported every day across the globe. This is an industry that is projected to actually grow its market by 5.3% by 2017. What’s inside these crates is anyone’s guess. There are millions of businesses that take advantage of the convenience and efficiency of shipping. You can buy used shipping containers that are made with the highest-quality steel.
Customization
One factor that makes this industry so great is the customization involved. Over 20 million containers being shipped around the world at any minute? That’s going to require a lot of special circumstances.
Not every container is shipping the same item to the same business. The ability to have steel cargo container modifications implemented for your needs can make any shipping job better. Whether these containers are being shipped to state municipal buildings, college or high schools, large corporations or more, these steel cargo containers can be tailored to your specific needs.
Other Uses for Containers

One of the best aspects about these cargo containers is that there are so many ways to use them. You can use them for shipping items across the globe, sure, but why stop there? You can also use these quality containers for work or home as well. You can have a mobile office, start up your own pop-up store, run portable concession stands or anything else that you can think of.
Maybe you have thousands of baseball cards taking up space in your attic and you’ve always wanted to get rid of them. By purchasing one of these steel containers you will be able to open up your own pop-up stand on weekends to sell all that baseball memorabilia.

A house is a reflection on the homeowner. So, why not make a huge statement by building a house out of a material that people wouldn’t expect? Shipping containers have the potential to be just what you are looking for. Shipping is such a large global business, constituting about 90% of the world’s trade, accounting for more GDP than restaurants, takeaway food, and civil engineering combined in the United Kingdom, and is projected to grow by five percent between 2014 and 2017. But, wouldn’t it be interesting to re-purpose steel shipping containers into a family friendly home? With the amount of used steel cargo containers available out there, why wouldn’t you want to jump into something new and different? Here are four benefits to building a house from steel shipping containers, the idea you never knew you needed.
Affordable
The biggest incentive to a shipping container house is that they are quite inexpensive. You are able to buy used storage containers and the process of turning them into a home is far less expensive than real estate in the cheapest part of your city. If you don’t want to go refurbished, don’t worry. You can also pick from new storage containers for sale.
Ease of use
It is extremely easy to use and construct a home out of shipping containers. There are also a lot of storage container modifications available, so if you want to add windows or a staircase, contact a reliable company to do so. Go ahead, get creative. From a three-story home to a sun room to a poolside bungalow, the opportunities are endless.
Get Them Exactly Where You Want Them
Due to their ease of transport, shipping containers can come to you wherever you want them. All you need to do is clear out a minimum of 100 feet of moving space for the delivering truck to maneuver.
Environmentally Friendly
Besides the fact that you will have a completely unique home, you will be doing some good for the environment when you use shipping containers to build your home. Since you can buy new or used steel shipping containers, the steel is being recycled and used again, saving energy.

Remember when you were a kid and you turned a regular cardboard box into a car or a rocket ship? Your imagination took you all over the universe, and that box could be anything you dreamed of. What if you had an even bigger box and it was made of steel?
There are so many possibilities when it comes to an empty shipping container. You are more of a practical thinker now, so you may not be making plans to build a spaceship, but imagine all of the real uses one could have for a big steel cargo container.
4 Unique Uses for Shipping Containers
- Shipping Container Deck
One brilliant individual cleared out a steel cargo container, installed glass windows and sliding doors, added a rooftop garden, and set up a patio to create a gorgeous steel paradise in his backyard.
- Shipping Container Art
Believe it or not, artists have used shipping containers as art supplies before. Some have cut the containers down and used the parts to sculpt, while others have actually built monolithic works with multiple storage containers.
- Shipping Container Playhouse
Who needs a treehouse when you could have a shipping container house? Kids will love having their own little space. Just add some doors and windows, put in a safe floor, and let the kids furnish and care for their area.
- Stationary or Mobile office container
No room in your house for a home office? Build yourself some private office space in the yard! If you are always on the move, why not turn a shipping container into your own custom mobile home?
As adults, we just need to channel our inner child, release our imaginations, and run wild with the possibilities. Just a few storage container modifications can turn an empty box into a playroom, or an office, or even a swimming pool! What about portable concession stands?
The shipping industry is huge. In fact, it constitutes around 90% of the world’s trade. Right now, there are roughly 20 million containers crossing the world. The container market alone is projected to grow by 5.3% between 2014 and 2017. But a lot of containers are abandoned when they are no longer needed. It is not hard to find used steel storage containers for sale, and by putting an older container to good use, you are reducing waste and creating a sustainable piece.
