Steel shipping containers outlive their usefulness as cargo carriers within 5 years, and they used to site abandoned at shipyards for years.
What we are doing is reusing these containers promoting “Go Green” sustainable living.
Ideal building material. These containers are well known for their durability, adaptability. light weight, low cost and ease of stacking, creating a recycling trend that we are feeding off.
You can make them properly insulated, they can make for a warm and cozy home in the winter, and a cooler home in the summer.
Since they are originally built for transport, they can be easily moved when they need to be.
Designed to carry heavy loads ,stacked in columns, resist harsh environments – weather and resistant to salt corrosion etc.
They can withstand practically any extreme weather, such as hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes. Standing alone, an ISBU can handle 100 mile per hour winds.
Securely anchored, it can take winds up to 175 miles per hour. You can also rest assured that it will never collapse during an earthquake. By far, they make for the safest storm shelters.
