Some cities and towns have strict regulations regarding alternative dwellings, whereas others are more relaxed. It is also essential to research the construction codes and zoning laws in your area before purchasing the land you want to build your container home on.

High Cube

Standard shipping containers are great for storage or cargo that is basic, but if you need more height, high-cube containers are your best bet. These containers have an extra foot of headroom but retain the same dimensions for width and length.

This allows them to fit under the standard height clearances for storage or transportation making it easier to move the container around. They are also perfect for making modifications such as the office or housing area where an extra foot of headroom may be important.

The extra height allows you to store taller equipment without having to lay it flat. They can also hold more weight than standard containers which makes them a better choice for heavier cargo and items that need a little extra space on the upper area.

High cube containers come with a few disadvantages, despite the many advantages. For example, they do cost more than standard containers and can be more expensive to transport due to their extra size. The additional height makes it difficult to stack and move and can pose a problem for some projects and sites. It is crucial to assess your transportation needs and site when deciding whether a high cube container is the most suitable choice for you.
