Hebei Container House Specifications

Admin September 15, 2026

The mainstream specification of container houses in Hebei is 3m×6m, and non-standard sizes such as 2m×6m and 3m×4m are also available for customization. The length, width, height, door and window positions, and balcony size can all be adjusted as needed. The following provides an explanation from four aspects: specification classification, material configuration, functional adaptation, and customization details:

I. Specification Classification and Space Combination
Container houses can be classified into two modes based on space combination: single-box independent use and multi-box assembly. The common specification for single boxes is 3m×6m (with an area of 18㎡), suitable for scenarios such as kiosks, sentry boxes, and temporary dormitories. Non-standard sizes like 2m×6m (12㎡) or 3m×4m (12㎡) are used in space-constrained scenarios. Multi-box assembly can achieve space expansion through horizontal assembly (creating conference rooms or exhibition halls by connecting boxes horizontally), vertical stacking (6-story dormitories or hotels), or offset/cantilevered/L-shaped/U-shaped enclosure (for trendy guesthouses and cafes). Cantilevered structures require diagonal bracing, and no holes are allowed in the cantilevered sections.

II. Material Configuration and Performance Characteristics
Mainstream products use thickened hot-dip galvanized square steel as the load-bearing frame, with 75mm thickened rock wool fireproof and thermal insulation color steel plates for the wall panels. The roof is equipped with a double-layer waterproof, sun-proof, and thermal insulation layer, and the floor is made of cement fiber non-slip pressure plates. The doors and windows are equipped with large-area panoramic floor-to-ceiling viewing glass or thermal-break aluminum sealed doors and windows. The exterior walls can be fitted with wood grain panels, imitation stone paint, metal decorative surfaces, and ambient light slots, along with rust-proof heavy-duty hardware and waterproof sealing components. Such configurations endow the houses with fire-resistant, thermal insulation, soundproof, wind-resistant, rust-proof, and rainwater-resistant properties, while also supporting overall lifting and relocation for repeated use.

III. Functional Adaptation and Scenario Applications
According to their functional uses, container houses can be classified into accommodation types, office types, commercial service types, sanitary types, and special types (such as medical boxes, equipment boxes, and laboratory boxes). In cultural tourism and commercial scenarios, 3m×6m standard boxes can be transformed into trendy guesthouse rooms, milk tea and coffee shops on commercial streets, and reception houses at camping sites. In construction site temporary building scenarios, 20-foot standard boxes (6058×2438×2591mm) are often used as single-person offices or dormitories.

IV. Customization Details and Parameter Adjustments
For non-standard customization, the width (2.5m/2.55m/3m/4m), height (2.6m/2.7m/2.8m/2.9m), and special door and window positions, partitions, and exterior decorations can be adjusted. For example, professional manufacturers in Beijing offer long-size customizations such as 3m×8m and 3m×12m, and Hebei Cangzhou Feiyi Container Co., Ltd. can produce 17-meter ultra-long special containers. During customization, attention should be paid to structural load-bearing requirements: in pure steel frames, wall panels/roof panels/glass do not bear loads, and the force path is 'panel secondary beam → main beam → corner column → corner fittings → foundation/lower box'. Corner fittings are the only stacking force transmission points, and spot welding is prohibited as a substitute.
