Avoid These 7 Common Shipping Container Home MistakesShow more

We’ve been living on and off grid in a shipping container home for over six years. Here’s a few things to consider if you are planning on building a shipping container house or if you are going to DIY it.

It is not possible to build a container house from every shipping container. With rising construction costs and more people becoming environmentally conscious, the general misconception that any container can be used for a container home is misleading.

In addition to being a sustainable building trend, shipping containers are also becoming a cost-effective alternative for residential home construction.
In this video, we present to you the top seven mistakes to avoid before building a shipping container home. If you love shipping containers or are exploring the possibility of building your own, stay tuned to find out the do's and don'ts of building your dream home from shipping containers.

7. Selecting the Wrong Shipping Containers
When building a shipping container home, people often make the mistake of purchasing the wrong type of container. Shipping containers are different from each other. A majority of people who don't know the difference build their homes using regular shipping containers. This is in addition to the twenty foot and 40 foot regular shipping containers that are available in high cubed containers.

High cube containers are nine foot six inches tall, whereas regular shipping containers are eight foot six inches high. The extra foot on high cube containers is ideally suited for insulating ceilings without impairing headroom. The high-cube container costs slightly more than the regular one, but considering its benefits, it's worth it.
