Standard Sizes of Container Houses

There is no absolutely uniform standard for the standard sizes of container houses, but there are common specifications, mainly divided into international standard sizes, domestic trade conventional sizes, common sizes on construction sites, and customized sizes.

International Standard Sizes: Derived from 20-foot and 40-foot containers as prototypes. The external dimensions of a 20-foot standard container are approximately 6058×2438×2591mm, with internal dimensions of about 5867×2330×2350mm; the external dimensions of a 40-foot standard container are approximately 12192×2438×2591mm, with internal dimensions of about 11998×2330×2350mm; the external dimensions of a 40-foot high-cube container are approximately 12192×2438×2896mm, with internal dimensions of about 11998×2330×2655mm. These sizes originate from maritime container standards, featuring modularity and ease of stacking, and are widely used in temporary housing, offices, exhibition halls, and other scenarios.

Domestic Trade Conventional Sizes: The conventional size for Apple Pod container houses in domestic trade is 3 meters × 6 meters, with a standard width of 3 meters for a single pod. The length can be selected as 3 meters, 6 meters, 9 meters, or 12 meters, supporting arrangement combinations and stacking to meet the needs of single-room homestays to multi-functional spaces.

Common Sizes on Construction Sites: Container houses for on-site accommodation prioritize practicality, with common sizes including 3 meters × 3 meters × 2.8 meters (area of 9 square meters, suitable for guardhouses, small warehouses), 6 meters × 3 meters × 2.8 meters (area of 18 square meters, accommodating about 10 people, used as worker dormitories, toilets, kitchens), and 7 meters × 3 meters × 2.8 meters (area of 21 square meters, often used for two-story container mobile homes with corridors and canopies).

Customized Sizes: Flexibly adjusted according to customer needs, with width options of 2.5 meters, 2.55 meters, 3 meters, 4 meters, etc., and height options of 2.6 meters, 2.7 meters, 2.8 meters, 2.9 meters, etc. Special door and window positions, partitions, exteriors, and interior decorations can all be customized. For example, the size range of foreign trade Apple Pods extends from 5.8 meters × 2.2 meters to 11.5 meters × 2.2 meters, corresponding to 20-foot and 40-foot models; foldable container mobile homes can also be designed with standard or non-standard sizes according to actual needs.
