Foshan Container House Size Diagram

Common sizes of container houses in Foshan include 3m×5.95m×2.8m, 6m×3m×2.9m, 11.8m×6.75m×2.8m, etc. Specific sizes vary depending on the type of house and customization requirements. Here are the details:

Standard Container House Sizes
The standard size commonly used domestically is 6 meters in length, 3 meters in width, and 2.9 meters in height. The standard size for export is 6 meters in length, 2.4 meters in width, and 2.9 meters in height. These sizes are suitable for most temporary accommodations, construction site offices, commercial displays, and other scenarios. They offer modular combination advantages and can be spliced to meet different spatial requirements. For example, a customized luxury fast-assembly container house produced by a Foshan enterprise has dimensions of 3m×5.95m×2.8m. It uses a galvanized steel pipe frame and a sandwich rock wool board wall, complying with European and American export standards, and is suitable for construction site accommodations or offices.

Special Custom Sizes
Container houses can be customized to non-standard sizes according to functional requirements. For example, a duplex container house is formed by splicing three 40-foot containers, creating a two-story structure measuring 11.8m×6.75m×2.8m with a usable area of 80 square meters. The interior can be configured with a living room, bedroom, office area, etc. This type of design is suitable for resorts, homestays, or large project campsites. For instance, the camp for the port expansion project in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, uses a combination of light steel structure movable panel houses and prefabricated villas to meet the accommodation and office needs of over 2,000 people.

International Standard Container Size Reference
The internal dimensions of a standard 20-foot container are approximately 5.9m×2.35m×2.39m, while those of a 40-foot container are approximately 12.03m×2.35m×2.39m, with load capacities of 25 tons and 45 tons, respectively. Although these sizes are mostly used for shipping container modifications, some Foshan enterprises (such as Qizhong Containers) can refit them into movable houses while retaining the original structural strength, making them suitable for scenarios with high load-bearing requirements, such as agricultural facilities or temporary medical stations.

Size Selection Advice
When choosing the size of a container house, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the usage scenario, the number of people, and functional requirements. For example, a single-person accommodation can choose a 20-foot standard container, while a large office or conference room requires the splicing of multiple containers. A duplex structure is suitable for long-term residence by families or teams. Foshan enterprises generally offer customization services and can adjust the size and structure according to ground foundation conditions, wind and earthquake resistance requirements, and approval specifications.
