Containers are designed to filled, then stacked on ships, then removed. Containers hold all their weight in the floor of the container and the four corner posts. Those corner posts are what the cranes connect to when moving full containers around. These corner posts are slightly higher than the roof and slightly lower than the floor of the container.
Shipping container architecture is a form of architecture using steel intermodal containers (shipping containers) as structural element, because of their inherent strength, wide availability and relatively low cost.
Walls and Roofs :
Design – Containers are made of corrugated steel. The walls and roofs are made of the same material. The walls support the roof of the container.
Many Container Companies provide marine plywood flooring in these shipping containers.
Marine plywood is specially treated to resist rotting in a high-moisture environment. Its construction is such that it can be used in environments where it exposed to moisture for long periods. So it is best suitable for shipping containers. With this customer can easily move his heavy materials in or out of container as these are flat.
Doors and Lock Box :
Design – Container doors are attached to corner posts.
What this means to you – They work well they way they are designed. If you want a different type of entry, add extra doors on the other 3 sides of the container.
Insulation
Design – Standard containers are made of corten steel and are not insulated. Refrigerator containers are steel containers with insulation and an interior wall added onto the container. The insulation used is loose between the walls. Also, refrigerated/insulated containers are generally sold with cooling units still included.
