Shipping containers are large steel containers you see on construction sites. They are loaded into lorries and trains or onto ships for transport all over the world. They're designed to be water- and wind-tight, protecting cargo from the elements while they travel through rough seas and extreme conditions. They are also highly adaptable, flexible and versatile in their usage. In fact they can be transformed to offices, cabins or even homes at a fraction of the price you'd spend to build an equivalent from scratch.
If you're considering purchasing containers, it's essential to do your research to make sure you choose the right model for your needs. When buying second hand inspect the condition of the windows and doors to ensure that they're in good condition and seal properly. Additionally, examine the container's body for holes or major damage. Verify that all functioning mechanisms are in good working order. This includes the roof, lower side wall doors, hinges on the door and locks, as well as the gasket seals.

In certain situations, it is more sense to purchase an used container instead of an entirely new one.

Whatever the reason, buying an old container can save you money and is a good option for many purposes and projects.
