Xishui Container House Installation
Admin September 15, 2026
The installation of container houses in Xishui requires selecting corresponding methods according to specific types. The common installation steps and key points are as follows:

Installation of Assembled Container Houses
- Bottom Frame Installation: On a flat ground or workbench, connect the bottom corners of the container to the bottom beams using hexagon socket bolts, but do not tighten them temporarily. After adjusting to ensure that the diagonal difference of the bottom frame is ≤3mm, tighten the bolts.
- Secondary Beam Installation: Install π-shaped secondary beams according to the positioning hole positions on the long beams. Fix them with m5.519 self-tapping screws. At the same time, the top of the π-shaped secondary beams and the bottom beams should be fixed with st4.816 round-head self-drilling screws.
- Floor Installation: Lay the floor base plates (magnesium oxide boards) along the 6-meter direction. Pre-drill holes at both ends of the base plates and cut the corners according to the drawn chalk lines. Mark the center line of the π-shaped beams, start laying the floor from one end, and align the joints with the center line of the π-shaped beams. After laying, snap chalk lines according to the marks and fix the floor along the chalk lines with st4.2*38 cross-head flat-tail screws, with a nail spacing of 300 - 350mm.
- Floor Treatment: Sand the entire floor, especially the plate joints. Apply PVC special floor adhesive and wait for 10 - 15 minutes before laying the floor covering. Remove the air between the floor covering and the base plate. If possible, weld the joints of the floor covering.
Installation of Foldable Container Mobile Houses
- Preparation Work: Check the stability of the steel wire ropes. Keep non-staff away from the installation area to avoid dangers.
- Frame Unfolding: Lift the main frame and unfold it steadily. Then place support rods in the middle of the container body to keep it stable.
- Wall Installation: Push open one wall and tighten it with fastening screws. Then push open the other wall with doors and windows and tighten the screws.
- Lifting and Positioning: Lift the foldable container house to the predetermined installation position and put it down after ensuring that there is no one around.
General Installation Points for Container Houses
- Foundation Treatment: Ensure that the installation ground is flat and solid. If necessary, carry out hardening treatment to ensure the stability and safety of the house.
- Component Connection: Connect the components strictly according to the design requirements. Use appropriate connecting parts such as bolts and screws and ensure that the connections are firm.
- Water and Electricity Installation: According to the usage requirements of the house, reasonably plan and install the water and electricity pipelines to ensure the safety and reliability of the water and electricity systems.
