Five-Meter-Wide Container House
There are various types of five-meter-wide container houses in the market, differing in price, material, function, and applicable scenarios. The following is a popular science introduction from five aspects: specifications, price, material, safety, and customization services:

I. Specifications and Dimensions
Five-meter-wide container houses are usually non-standard sizes and need to be customized. The common standard container width is 3 meters, but it can be widened to meet larger space requirements. For example, some manufacturers offer widened containers of 3 meters × 7 meters or 3 meters × 8 meters, suitable for construction site dormitories, offices, or temporary shops. If a 5-meter width is required, it is necessary to communicate with the manufacturer about a non-standard customization plan to ensure structural stability and compliance.
II. Price Range
Prices are significantly affected by material, size, and function:
- Basic Model: A simple color-steel-plate container house, with a customized 5-meter width, costs approximately between 5,000 and 10,000 yuan, suitable for short-term construction site use.
- Mid-to-High-End Model: Using A-grade fireproof materials such as rock wool board and fireproof cotton, equipped with sound insulation and heat insulation design, the price may rise to between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan, suitable for long-term residence or commercial use.
- High-End Customized Model: Such as modular packing boxes, integrating office and bathroom functions, the price can exceed 20,000 yuan, mostly used for project departments or exhibition centers.
III. Material and Performance
- Steel Structure + Corrugated Plate: The mainstream structural form, with wind, earthquake, and corrosion resistance, and a service life of more than 20 years.
- Filling Material: Priority should be given to rock wool board or fireproof cotton, with a fire rating of A-grade, avoiding flammable materials such as polystyrene to reduce fire risks.
- Surface Treatment: Galvanized steel material can enhance durability, and attention should be paid to welding technology and sealing to prevent rainwater leakage.
IV. Safety and Compliance
- Fire Safety: It must comply with construction site fire safety standards. Electrical wires and cables should be protected with sleeves, sockets and switch boxes should be made of metal galvanized boxes and installed openly, and simple fire extinguishing equipment should be equipped.
- Structural Safety: The steel frame structure must be professionally designed to ensure load-bearing capacity and wind resistance (such as withstanding a Level 12 typhoon).
- Spacing Requirements: When multiple container houses are placed side by side, the spacing should be kept at more than 6 meters to reduce the risk of fire spreading.
V. Customization and Services
- Non-Standard Customization: Manufacturers can design double-story containers or special-shaped structures according to site requirements, but transportation and installation conditions need to be confirmed in advance.
- Supporting Services: Some manufacturers offer rental services (such as 6 yuan per day), suitable for short-term needs; and also include transportation, installation, and after-sales maintenance to reduce user costs.
