3x6 Prefabricated House

The 3x6 prefabricated house is a living space transformed from a standard shipping container, with common dimensions of 3 meters in width and 6 meters in length, covering a total area of 18 square meters. It features a sturdy structure and versatile functions.

I. Structure and Performance
The 3x6 prefabricated house employs a steel frame and corrugated steel plate shell, offering strong compressive resistance and high durability. Its design lifespan typically exceeds 10 years, and regular maintenance can further extend its service life. Its structural stability enables it to adapt to various environments, including construction sites and temporary resettlement points. Some products significantly enhance living comfort by adding insulation layers and ventilation systems. For example, in cold or humid regions, the insulation layer effectively reduces heat loss, while the ventilation system improves air circulation, preventing stuffiness or dampness.

II. Price and Regional Differences
Prices vary by region, configuration, and brand. In the Wuhan Caidian area, second-hand prefabricated container houses start at 2,800 yuan per set, provided by Wuhan Delaosi Light Steel Housing Co., Ltd., supporting payment methods such as Alipay and WeChat, and featuring fire and moisture resistance. In the Tianjin area, insulated, fire-resistant, and easy-to-install products cost approximately 5,000 yuan per set, emphasizing insulation performance and rapid assembly. In Suzhou, Jiangsu, prices are calculated by area, with mobile residential containers for construction sites priced at 590 yuan per square meter, suitable for large-scale temporary living needs.

III. Interior Design and Expandability
The 18-square-meter space can be flexibly divided through modular design:

• Vertical Utilization: Add a loft-style upper bunk to increase sleeping or storage areas;
• Functional Zoning: Divide living areas (such as kitchens and bathrooms) from sleeping areas through partitions or furniture layouts;
• Expandable Combination: Multiple units can be joined to form larger spaces, meeting family living or office needs. For example, two 3x6 units joined horizontally can create a 36-square-meter composite space suitable for small shops or temporary offices.

IV. Application Scenarios
Due to its low cost and rapid deployment, the 3x6 prefabricated house is widely used in construction site dormitories, post-disaster temporary resettlement, tourist accommodation, and other fields. Some cases show that through customized modifications (such as adding windows and optimizing lighting), its living experience can approach that of traditional houses, making it an alternative to low-cost housing.
