You may have noticed in recent years the dramatic increase in the popularity of shipping containers. But what’s all the fuss about? Today, we’ll discuss a few reasons why shipping containers are popular and what they can be used for.

MANY USES

The primary reason as to why shipping containers are popular is because they can be used for so many different purposes other than transporting goods. With a variety of modifications and accessories a simple shipping container can be transformed into just about anything. Here at Shipping Containers Darwin, we can add: air-conditioning, windows, roller doors, electrical fit out, drop down benches, shelving and more. We can install modifications for accommodation containers, site offices, long-term site needs and first aid rooms. We can also design for complete tiny homes and fit out for hospitality use such as a small café, restaurant, or bar. Shipping containers can be used as home offices, for a small business or side hustle, shed, extra storage, home gym – the possibilities really are endless.

DURABILITY

A second reason why shipping containers are popular is because they are so durable. They can survive many harsh weather conditions, from harsh sun and heat, to rain, snow and even major weather events in some circumstances.

COST

A third reason why shipping containers are popular is that they can be a far cheaper option when compared to traditional buildings. For those looking to launch a small business, buying and fitting out a shipping container can be a far cheaper and more convenient option than what traditionally renting a space can be.

These are just a few of the reasons why shipping containers have become so popular in recent years. From personal to business use, they are a highly adaptable, durable, and cost efficient alternative.
