Simple Style Container House

Admin September 15, 2026

Simple style container houses generally refer to standardized container houses with a simple structure, basic functions, and are easy to set up and move. They are suitable for scenarios such as temporary living, office work, and warehousing.

Structural Features

Simple style container houses mostly adopt standardized modular design, using a single container as the basic unit and forming an overall structure through welding or bolt connections. Common structural types include:

  • Welded integral box: It is welded into shape as a whole in the factory, with a direct force path and strong anti-deformation ability, suitable for frequent lifting and moving.
  • Bolt-connected assembled box: It is assembled from standard plates through bolts, facilitating disassembly and reassembly. However, attention should be paid to the tightness of the connection nodes.

Performance Parameters

According to actual measurement data, simple style container houses need to meet the following core performance requirements:

  • Wind and earthquake resistance: High-quality products can withstand wind levels of 10 - 12 and earthquake levels of 6 - 8, with a frame deformation rate lower than 0.3% (the national standard limit). For example, the packing boxes of Suzhou Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd. can withstand wind levels of 12 and earthquake levels of 8, with a deformation rate of only 0.18%.
  • Structural stability: They use a full steel structure frame or high-strength steel to ensure structural safety under extreme working conditions (such as typhoons and earthquakes). Non-standard off-brand products, due to thin steel and poor connection processes, can only withstand wind levels of 8, with a deformation rate exceeding 1.2%, posing safety hazards.

Installation and Adaptability

  • Installation efficiency: The modular design makes the installation of simple style container houses convenient. The installation time for a single set of modules is about 4 - 8 hours, without the need for complex welding procedures. For example, the quick-assembly boxes of Suzhou Zhongnan can be installed in just 4 hours, with an efficiency increase of more than 50% compared to other brands.
  • Spatial flexibility: They support on-demand assembly and combination, and can be expanded into double-occupancy dormitories, offices, or meeting spaces. The internal partitions can be quickly adjusted to adapt to different scenario requirements.

Cost and Cost-effectiveness

The cost of simple style container houses is controllable, and prices vary greatly depending on the materials and configurations. For example, the 1688 platform shows that the price of simple light-steel container houses is about 83.6 - 300 yuan per square meter, while customized or high-end products can cost thousands of yuan per square meter. Their cost-effectiveness advantages lie in rapid deployment, reusability, and low maintenance costs.
