Yunnan Container House Dimensions

Admin September 13, 2026

Yunnan container houses come in a variety of sizes, covering standard specifications, refrigerated containers converted into houses, and container color-steel panel prefab buildings, among other types.

Standard specification dimensions: Yunnan container house products are available in standard lengths of 6 m, 9 m, 12 m, and other sizes. These standard specifications usually refer to the length of the container house. Width and height generally follow internationally common container standard dimensions, with width typically 2.438 m and height typically 2.591 m (the height of a standard dry cargo container). However, different manufacturers may adjust width and height appropriately during production based on actual needs and use cases. Still, lengths of 6 m, 9 m, and 12 m remain common and representative sizes that can meet residential, office, and other needs at different scales and for different purposes.

Dimensions of refrigerated containers converted into houses: When refrigerated containers are converted for use as houses, internal dimensions vary by model. One model has internal dimensions of 5.425 m long, 2.275 m wide, and 2.260 m high; another is 11.493 m long, 2.270 m wide, and 2.197 m high; and there is also a model measuring 11.557 m long, 2.294 m wide, and 2.500 m high. Refrigerated containers were originally used to transport goods that require refrigeration and preservation. When converted into houses, their internal dimensions are affected by the original structure, insulation layers, and other factors, so they differ from ordinary container house dimensions. These sizes can serve house use cases that have specific space requirements and need a certain level of thermal insulation performance.

Container color-steel panel prefab building dimensions: There are container color-steel panel prefab buildings with specifications of 5800 mm × 2250 mm × 2800 mm. This type of prefab building uses color-coated steel panels as the main material and offers convenient installation and relatively low cost. Its length is 5800 mm (i.e., 5.8 m), width is 2250 mm (i.e., 2.25 m), and height is 2800 mm (i.e., 2.8 m). It suits temporary residential, storage, and similar uses, and is fairly common on construction sites, field operations, and other such settings.
