Qinghai Container House Dimension Charts

Admin September 14, 2026

Qinghai container houses have no single standard size. Common options include ISO shipping-container sizes, widely used container-house footprints, and foldable container portable-building sizes, and custom dimensions are also available.

Standard container sizes: When Qinghai container houses follow international ISO container standards, length is typically 20 feet (about 6.1 m) or 40 feet (about 12.2 m), width is 8 feet (about 2.44 m), and height is 8.5 feet (about 2.59 m). Houses built to these sizes are highly versatile and easy to transport and stack, and they are widely used in international logistics and temporary construction.

Common container-house sizes: In practice, a 3 × 6 m footprint is widely used in Qinghai. This size balances space efficiency and comfort. Interiors usually have a practical layout with bedroom, living room, bathroom, and other functional zones to meet basic living needs. Whether used as temporary housing, site dormitories, or holiday cabins, they can offer a relatively comfortable living space.

Foldable container portable-building sizes: Foldable container portable buildings are also used to some extent in Qinghai. Their standard sizes follow international shipping-container dimensions, in 20-foot (about 6 m) and 40-foot (about 12 m) options, and can serve as temporary housing, offices, showrooms, and more. For special requirements, non-standard custom sizes can also be produced and adjusted to suit different site conditions and use cases.

Custom sizes: Companies such as Qinghai Guangzan Light Steel Housing Engineering Co., Ltd. can customize container-house dimensions to a client's specific needs and site conditions. This customization better meets special requirements and helps the building fit the intended use scenario more closely.
