Fushun Container House Dimensions

Admin September 15, 2026

The common dimensions of container houses in Fushun are 6 meters in length, 3 meters in width, and 2.8-2.9 meters in height, which can be divided into the following types:

1. Standard Container House Dimensions
Container houses customized in the Fushun area often adopt the international standard 20-foot container dimensions. The external dimensions are 6.058 meters in length, 2.438 meters in width, and 2.591 meters in height, with internal clear dimensions of approximately 5.868 meters in length, 2.252 meters in width, and 2.268 meters in height. These dimensions are suitable for single-person offices, dormitories, or shops, covering an area of about 18 square meters. They can accommodate a double bed, a simple desk, and a standing wardrobe, offering high space utilization without feeling cramped.

2. Customized Extended Dimensions
According to actual needs, container houses in Fushun can be customized to a golden ratio size of 3 meters × 6 meters, with an internal clear height of approximately 2.6-2.9 meters. These dimensions can be extended through horizontal or vertical splicing, for example:

  • Horizontal Splicing: Two 3-meter × 6-meter units can be combined to form a 6-meter × 6-meter space, suitable for multi-person dormitories or small meeting rooms;
  • Vertical Stacking: Up to three levels can be vertically stacked to create a three-dimensional living or office area;
  • 360-Degree Combination: Complex layouts such as internal corridors and open office areas can be achieved through modular splicing.

3. Special Specifications and Material Differences

  • Packing-Box Container Houses: The internal dimensions are 5.88 meters in length, 2.84 meters in width, and 2.5 meters in height. They are constructed with galvanized steel frames and 75mm-thick color-steel glass wool sandwich panels, weighing approximately 1350 kilograms. They are suitable for scenarios with high insulation requirements;
  • High-Cube Container Houses: For example, the 40-foot high-cube container (40HQ) has an internal height of 2.655 meters and an external height of 2.896 meters, meeting the special height requirements of exhibition halls or housing;
  • Non-Standard Customized Dimensions: The width can be selected from options such as 2.5 meters, 2.55 meters, and 4 meters, while the height can be selected from options such as 2.6 meters, 2.7 meters, and 2.8 meters. The positions of doors and windows, as well as partitions, can be adjusted as needed.

4. Core Principles for Dimension Selection

  • Adaptability: The 3-meter × 6-meter size has become a "universal basic model" for construction site offices and temporary residences due to its convenient hoisting, compliant transportation, and smooth internal circulation;
  • Functionality: Choose standard containers or high-cube containers according to the purpose. For example, storage-type container houses need to reserve space for the handling of large equipment and can adopt double-door (1.6 meters wide and 2 meters high) designs;
  • Economy: Non-standard customized dimensions may increase material and transportation costs, requiring a comprehensive consideration of budget and needs.
