Second-hand Container Renovation: With a limited budget (<10,000 yuan), you can choose retired construction site containers (80% new, average price 6,000 yuan/unit) and upgrade comfort by adding PVC flooring and thermal-break aluminum windows; for winter, it is recommended to choose double-glazed windows (heat transfer coefficient ≤2.5W/(㎡·k)), saving over 40% on energy. When inspecting the goods, tap the container body with a coin; a dull sound indicates dense filling.
