Shipping containers are huge steel boxes that you can see on a construction sites, and are loaded into lorries and trains, or onto ships for transport across the globe. They're designed to be watertight and windproof and protect the cargo inside from the elements as they travel through rough seas and rough weather. This means they're extremely adaptable and flexible in use. In fact they can be converted into offices, cabins or even homes for less than the cost you'd have to pay to construct an equivalent from scratch.
If you are considering purchasing a container, you should do some research to be sure you get the right model. When buying second hand inspect the condition of the doors and windows to ensure they're in good order and seal properly. Also, check the body of the container to see whether there are any significant dents or holes. Check that all operating mechanisms are in good working order.

On farms, a container that has been used before can be an ideal storage solution for livestock and machinery. Not only does it provide an insulated, dry and secure space for equipment, but it can be equipped with a cozy home environment that is perfect for animals who require some extra comfort.

In some cases it makes more sense to buy a second-hand container than buying a brand new one. Perhaps the style of the container isn't that important to you, or perhaps your budget simply won't allow for a brand-new purchase. Whatever the reason, buying a used container will save you money and is a great alternative for a variety of projects.

These structures are also a less expensive alternative to brick and mortar structures, and provide a much more flexible solution.
