Types of Container Houses in Dalian

Admin September 16, 2026

There are various types of container houses in Dalian, mainly including the following categories:

1. Container mobile board houses for construction sites These houses are mainly composed of foldable containers, flat-panel containers, packing-box units, and color-steel houses, commonly used as temporary housing on construction sites. Their core advantages lie in their stable structure and easy installation. Two to three people can complete on-site assembly, and transportation costs are low (a 6-meter vehicle can carry six sets). The materials are designed to be fire-resistant, wind-resistant, and rain-leak-proof, and can be folded repeatedly more than 500 times, with a relatively long service life. The typical specifications are a width of 3 meters, a length of 6 meters, a height of 2.8 meters, a building area of 18 square meters, and a self-weight of 1.5 tons. Some products support leasing services.

2. Commercial and civilian container houses These include container marketing exhibition halls, mobile bed-and-breakfasts, villa offices, and street-side shops. These houses focus on appearance customization and functional flexibility. The colors can be adjusted according to needs, and the internal configurations include basic facilities such as security doors, plastic-steel windows, LED lighting, and sockets. Some high-end models use magnesium oxide board floors and fire-resistant insulation materials, suitable for commercial exhibitions, temporary offices, or residential scenarios. The price range varies widely, from 1998 yuan to 15000 yuan, depending on the materials and configurations.

3. Prefabricated and modular container houses Aimed at the needs of temporary office spaces or outdoor camping sites, these houses adopt modular prefabricated structures and support customization of dimensions and internal layout adjustments. The installation period can be as short as three days. They use fire-resistant and environmentally friendly materials, have thermal insulation, wind-resistance, and rain-proof properties, and can be reused. For example, the container houses provided by manufacturers in the Ganjingzi District of Dalian can be moved to meet the needs of adjusting the camp location, solving the problems of slow construction and poor flexibility of traditional buildings.

4. Special container houses Customized according to special purposes, these include shipping export containers, warehouse containers, and residential and office containers. Made of steel structures, they have earthquake resistance, deformation resistance, and thermal insulation and fire resistance capabilities, suitable for harsh natural environments. For example, the 20GP/40GP/40HQ models provided by Zhuohan Container Yard can have the container bottom strengthened according to customer requirements to fix shelves or adjust the steel structure material grades and external coatings.

5. Creative container buildings These include light-weight house designs such as container kiosks, milk tea shops, shops, and mobile restrooms in scenic spots. These houses combine practicality and aesthetics. For example, the steel structure kiosks and scenic spot bed-and-breakfasts provided by Dalian Lixin Integrated Housing Co., Ltd. use advanced equipment and a professional technical team to ensure project quality and after-sales support.
