Admin September 15, 2026

Common sizes of container houses in Hefei include 3m×3m×2.8m, 6m×3m×2.8m, 7m×3m×2.8m, as well as specifications derived from international standards such as 20-foot (approximately 6.058m×2.438m×2.591m) and 40-foot (approximately 12.192m×2.438m×2.591m) containers, with support for customized designs.

Regular Size Types
The size design of container houses focuses on practicality and modularity, with common specifications as follows:

  1. Small Size (3m×3m×2.8m): Covering an area of about 9 square meters, it is suitable for construction site guardrooms, temporary warehouses, or single-person living scenarios. Due to material utilization limitations, this size is usually customized only when the customer has specific requirements.
  2. Standard Size (6m×3m×2.8m): With an area of 18 square meters, it is the mainstream choice for construction site dormitories and office spaces. It can accommodate 6 bunk beds inside, meeting the living needs of 8-10 people while leaving space for activities. This size supports horizontal or vertical splicing, offering strong expandability.
  3. Extended Size (7m×3m×2.8m): Covering an area of 21 square meters, it is mostly used for two-story container activity houses. By adding corridor and canopy designs, it improves space utilization and is suitable as management offices or multi-person dormitories.

Based on shipping container standards, some manufacturers offer the following specifications:

  1. 20-Foot Container: External dimensions are approximately 6.058m (length) × 2.438m (width) × 2.591m (height), with an internal clear height of about 2.268m and a volume of about 30 cubic meters.
