It seems to be a recurring theme in the news recently that shipping containers are being used for a plethora of different solutions. With such large, empty, mobile and secure spaces, the possibilities for alternative use are endless. You will see on our website that there are already a lot of practical common uses for the humble storage units, but what about some of these alternative options;

1. Houses. In Spain it is becoming quite common place to create multi-coloured homes. Storage Containers are proving to be a low cost alternative to new build housing, and it is catching on quickly with loads of different developments popping up on the internet.

2. Swimming Pools. Some wacky people are going for the industrial look in their luxury homes, and a shipping container swimming pool is the ultimate addition.

3. Office. Professional Rally Driver Ken Clock uses his shipping container as a place of work.
