Perhaps one of the best things about shipping containers as a home-building material is the fact that they are essentially indestructible. They are designed to hold up during long voyages across the ocean. They’re made of steel, are entirely watertight, and hold up to thirty tons of weight. They can be stacked as many as seven containers high.
Homes that are made from wood will eventually rot, mold, or have water leakage. Steel is impervious to all these things. And because shipping containers are made up of far fewer parts and pieces, there are a lot less points of failure. So you can rest assured that your shipping container home can stand strong against Mother Nature, your neighbors, or a would-be intruder.
