Container House Three by Six
A 3-meter × 6-meter container house is a common specification suitable for construction site offices and temporary residences. Prices range from 3,000 to 11,000 yuan depending on factors such as material, configuration, and region, with a service life of over 10 years.

I. Dimensions and Space Adaptability
The interior clear height of a 3-meter × 6-meter container house is approximately 2.6 meters, with an open area of about 18 square meters. It can accommodate a double bed, a simple desk, and a standing wardrobe, making efficient use of space without feeling cramped. Its "golden ratio" design balances lifting convenience (meeting transportation compliance requirements) with smooth internal circulation, making it particularly suitable for construction sites with narrow access channels. For example, construction sites in Yuhang, Hangzhou, use such houses as offices and rest areas, introducing natural light through wide windows to improve the oppressive atmosphere of traditional panel houses.
II. Factors Affecting Price
- Material Differences: All-iron rock wool board containers range from 5,000 to 11,000 yuan, foam board containers from 4,500 to 8,500 yuan, and other custom types have a wider price range (3,000 to 13,000 yuan).
- New or Used Condition: Second-hand containers are significantly cheaper than new ones, but structural integrity must be checked.
- Region and Transportation: Quotes vary in places like Shouguang City, Shandong Province, and Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, with transportation distance and costs potentially affecting the final price.
- Configuration Options: Basic configurations include security doors, PVC flooring, double-layer color steel plate walls, lighting, and socket systems; additional costs apply for air conditioning, personalized decoration, or fire and electrical safety upgrades.
III. Service Life and Maintenance
Under reliable quality and regular maintenance, such container houses can have a service life of over 10 years. Key maintenance points include:
- Corrosion Protection: Steel components should be painted with anti-rust paint to avoid long-term exposure to humid or corrosive environments.
- Thermal Insulation Optimization: Rock wool sandwich panels are more heat-resistant than foam boards, reducing air conditioning energy consumption in summer.
- Structural Inspection: Regularly check welding points and fixtures to prevent deformation due to foundation settlement or strong winds.
