Your Guide to Modified Shipping Containers

Think back to the time you first heard that shipping containers could be repurposed into livable and workable buildings. Were you surprised? Did you question how it worked? Maybe you’re hearing about it for the first time right now – reading this! Regardless, it likely opened a world of questions for you, like, “what kinds of structures are built with containers? What are the benefits of building with containers?” Here at Falcon, we’ve observed that it’s often challenging for people, at all stages of shipping container awareness, to understand the variety of possibilities for shipping container structures – so we decided to make it easier.

As manufacturers of repurposed shipping containers, we have extensively researched the subject for over 13 years. We’ve seen shipping container modifications evolve into the flourishing industry it is today, and we’ve learned a lot along the way. So instead of keeping all this valuable information to ourselves or tucked away in different corners of our website, we wanted to create one, easily accessible guide that had it all. Thus, The Ultimate Guide to Modified Shipping Containers was created.

A single web page that includes explanations, helpful images, and links to additional resources, entirely focused on modified shipping containers, can be found here. The guide is broken up into the different sections of shipping containers structures, including workspace, living space, storage space, industrial enclosures, first responder & military training, and multi-container buildings & structures. Use this web page as a home base for your shipping container research or check out the downloadable eBook to keep a handy PDF on file. And, as always, reach out to us at 512-231-1010 or sales@falconstructures.com for additional questions.
