Yingkou Container House Sizes

In Yingkou, the common sizes of container houses are mainly 3 meters × 6 meters, with additional specifications such as 2.5 meters × 6 meters and 3 meters × 12 meters. There are significant differences in the sizes of some customized models or container houses modified from shipping containers.

I. Standard Residential Container Sizes

1. 3 meters × 6 meters: This is the most commonly used specification in Yingkou and construction sites across the country, with an internal net height of approximately 2.6 meters and an expanded area of about 18 square meters. Its advantages include high space utilization, allowing for the placement of double beds, simple desks, and vertical wardrobes, as well as easy lifting and compliant transportation, making it suitable for temporary office or residential units.
2. 2.5 meters × 6 meters: Similar to the 3 meters × 6 meters model but slightly narrower in width, suitable for scenarios with lower space requirements, such as duty rooms or small warehouses.
3. 3 meters × 12 meters: With double the length, the internal space is larger and can be divided into multiple functional areas, suitable for scenarios requiring zoned management, such as temporary exhibition halls or double-story office areas.

II. Shipping Container Modification Sizes
Shipping containers come in a variety of original sizes, with common specifications including:

1. 20-foot container: External dimensions of 6.058 meters (length) × 2.438 meters (width) × 2.591 meters (height), with an internal net size of approximately 5.868 meters × 2.252 meters × 2.268 meters, weighing about 2.2 tons.
2. 40-foot container: External dimensions of 12.192 meters × 2.438 meters × 2.591 meters, with an internal net size of approximately 11.58 meters × 2.252 meters × 2.268 meters, weighing about 3.8 tons.
3. 40-foot high cube container: The height is increased to 2.896 meters, providing a larger internal volume, suitable for scenarios requiring higher ceiling heights.
   These specifications are typically used for port logistics but can also be modified for use as container houses, noting that the internal space may require further optimization to suit residential needs.

III. Customized Container Sizes
According to customer needs, some suppliers in Yingkou offer non-standard size customization services, such as:

1. 3 meters × 3 meters: Small independent space, suitable for single occupancy or small storage.
2. 3 meters × 8 meters/9 meters: Extended design, increasing internal activity space, suitable for family residences or multi-functional offices.
3. Modular/multi-story containers: Larger areas are achieved through modular combinations, such as double-story containers with stairs, meeting both accommodation and office needs simultaneously.
