Shanghai Container House Dimensions
Common dimensions of container houses in Shanghai include 3m×3m, 6m×3m, 7m×3m, and custom sizes based on specific needs. Here is a detailed introduction:

Standard Dimensions
3m×3m×2.8m: With an area of 9 square meters, this size is relatively small and suitable for scenarios with low space requirements, such as construction site guardrooms and small warehouses. Due to its small size, care must be taken to avoid material waste during production, and it is usually customized according to specific customer needs.
6m×3m×2.8m: Covering an area of 18 square meters, this is a common standard size on the market, widely used in construction sites and road construction projects. This size can accommodate approximately 10 people, making it suitable for use as worker dormitories or for conversion into site toilets and kitchens.
7m×3m×2.8m: With an area of 21 square meters, this size is often used for two-story container mobile homes, incorporating corridor and canopy designs to enhance space utilization. Such houses are suitable for scenarios requiring tiered use, such as temporary buildings combining office and living spaces.
Custom Dimensions
Flexible Adjustment Based on Needs: Custom container houses can vary in size, with specific dimensions to be determined through consultation with the manufacturer. For example, common custom sizes include 3m×3m, 3m×8m, and 3m×9m, suitable for commercial purposes (such as convenience stores and coffee shops) or special functional needs (such as medical epidemic prevention houses).
Modular Design of Mobile Homes: Some manufacturers adopt standardized components, using 1K (1820mm) as the module. The horizontal dimension of the house is mK+160, the vertical dimension is nK+160, and the height is measured in units of 3P (one floor), 6P (two floors), and 9P (three floors), supporting three-story designs to meet diverse space requirements.
Special Specifications
- Modification of Shipping Containers: Houses modified from standard shipping container sizes (such as 20-foot, 40-foot, and 45-foot high-cube containers) have external dimensions of 6.058m×2.438m×2.591m, 12.192m×2.438m×2.591m, and 13.58m×2.34m×2.68m, respectively, with an internal clear height of approximately 2.2-2.6 meters. These are suitable for scenarios requiring transportation and stacking.
