Exploring ContainerCo’s Customisation Options

Welcome to the world of ContainerCo! If you think shipping containers are just big metal boxes for transporting goods across the globe, think again. At ContainerCo, we believe that these sturdy structures have endless potential beyond their traditional use. Whether you’re a business owner looking for unique storage solutions or someone dreaming of a tiny home, our customisation options can help turn your vision into reality. 

Let’s dive into the exciting ways you can customise a shipping container with ContainerCo!

Why Customise a Shipping Container?

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of customisation, let’s talk about why you might want to customise a shipping container in the first place. Shipping containers are incredibly versatile, durable, and eco-friendly. They are built to withstand the harsh conditions of ocean travel, which means they can stand up to just about anything on land. Plus, reusing a shipping container is a great way to recycle and reduce waste.

Popular Uses for Customised Shipping Containers

Shipping containers can be transformed for various purposes. Here are some popular uses:

1. Storage Solutions: Need extra storage space? A customised shipping container can be outfitted with shelving, climate control, and security features to keep your items safe and organised.

2. Offices: Insulate, install windows and doors, and provide electricity to create a mobile or permanent office space. This option is perfect for construction sites or remote work locations.

3. Homes and Cabins: Dreaming of a tiny home or a cosy cabin? Shipping containers can be converted into comfortable living spaces with all the amenities you need.

4. Pop-up Shops: If you’re a retailer looking for a unique and portable shop, a customised shipping container is a great choice. You can design it to reflect your brand and easily move it to different locations.

5. Workshops and Studios: Whether you’re an artist, a woodworker, or a mechanic, a shipping container can be turned into a functional workshop or studio tailored to your specific needs.

Customisation Options at ContainerCo

At ContainerCo, we offer a wide range of options to make your shipping container work perfectly for you. Here’s what you can do:

1. Size and Shape

Shipping containers come in different sizes, with the most common being 20 feet and 40 feet long. Depending on your needs, you can choose the right size for your project. But it doesn’t stop there—containers can also be modified in shape. Need a shorter or taller container? No problem. We can cut them down or stack them up to create a unique structure.

2. Insulation and Temperature Control

One of the most important aspects of customising a shipping container is making sure it’s comfortable to use year-round. Insulation is key, especially if you’re planning to use the container as a home, office, or workshop. We offer various insulation options to keep the interior warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Additionally, we can install HVAC systems for precise temperature control.

3. Doors and Windows

Adding doors and windows is essential for transforming a shipping container into a usable space. You can choose from a variety of door styles, including standard doors, roll-up doors, and sliding doors. Windows can be added to bring in natural light and improve ventilation. Whether you need large storefront windows or small, secure windows, we’ve got you covered.

4. Flooring

The standard flooring in a shipping container is durable marine-grade plywood, but depending on your use, you might want something different. We can install various types of flooring, including vinyl, laminate, or even hardwood, to give your container a polished look.

5. Electrical and Plumbing

For a container to function as a living or working space, it needs proper electrical and plumbing systems. Our team can install wiring, outlets, lighting, and fixtures to suit your needs. We also offer plumbing solutions for bathrooms, kitchens, or any other requirements you might have.

6. Interior Finishes

The interior of your container should be just as impressive as the exterior. We offer a range of finishes to make the inside look fantastic. You can choose from drywall, plywood, or metal panels for the walls and ceilings. We also provide painting and decorating services to give your container the perfect final touch.

7. Exterior Modifications

We can customise the outside of your shipping container with paint, cladding, or even custom graphics and signage. This is especially useful for businesses wanting to promote their brand.

Real-Life Examples

To give you a better idea of what’s possible, here are a few real-life examples of customised shipping containers we’ve created at ContainerCo:

Eco-Friendly Home

We helped a family build their dream eco-friendly home using two 40-foot shipping containers. The containers were modified with large windows, solar panels, and energy-efficient insulation. Inside, we installed hardwood flooring, a modern kitchen, and a spacious bathroom. The result was a beautiful, sustainable home that the family loves.

Mobile Café

A local entrepreneur wanted to start a mobile café. We customised a 20-foot container with large serving windows, a commercial kitchen setup, and a sleek exterior design. The café can be moved to different locations and has become a popular spot for coffee lovers.

Art Studio

An artist needed a dedicated space to work on large sculptures. We transformed a shipping container into a bright, open studio with plenty of natural light, ventilation, and sturdy workbenches. The artist now has a perfect space to create and store their artwork.
