Why Shipping Containers?
Why Aluminum Units?
Shipping containers are very durable, built to haul 20-30 tons and stacked 10 containers high. These airtight, watertight, steel structures are built to last and in addition are easily portable. There are millions of shipping containers that are put to waste each year, upwards of about half a million.
Our Aluminum Units are custom built and engineered. This structure gives us the ability to create a wider footprint than the shipping containers at 12’ wide. Extremely durable built to withstand 160mph wind loads. No rust, no rot, no termites! This building will last you a lifetime!

Where can I put my unit?
Ideally placing your unit on your property or backyard is the most common placement. Zoning and codes vary in cities and counties, we advise that you check with your city or county office as far as permitting your unit goes. Keep in mind that your unit can be placed on wheels - classifying it as an RV. We work closely with a general contractor, so permitting can be done by us as well if you would like, at an additional charge.
Depending on local codes our units can be anchored or mounted to suit.
Do I need a foundation for my unit?
