Constructed using durable COR-TEN steel, shipping containers make a stable and secure environment to build your home in. They can be customized with insulation, plumbing, and other modern comforts and amenities, and adapted to deal with any climate.
On top of that, since shipping containers are modular, they can be configured to create all kinds of imaginative structures - just one of the many reasons that container homes have become a popular alternative to traditional housing.

CONTAINER PURCHASE, DELIVERY AND PLACEMENT ON PROPERTY WAS EXCELLENT. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
William, delivered our containers on yesterday he was very professional and on time with both containers.
The process was seemless. The delivery guys were professional and lovely to work with. The price for our 2 40ft containers was excellent!
Everything was perfect. The deliver guy was really helpful.
Great Experience!! From the beginning of inquiry until the driver left our location, EVERYTHING was PERFECT. Communication, payment, delivery, and any questions/concerns, they handled it all. Very friendly people and very helpful. We highly recommend this company for your shipping container needs. THANKS!!!
I would definitely use Boxhub again. Ordering was easy and delivered on the date specified. The delivery driver Dave was awesome. I ordered a 40 foot container. It took sometime but he got it in place. Definitely a two thumbs up . If you need a container just remember. There are a lot of scams out there. They take your money and don't ever deliver. Boxhub maybe a couple hundred more. To me it was worth it not to have a headache. Thanks Boxhub !!!
Placing the order and delivery were easy for the purchase of a container. Scheduling and delivery were prompt and the driver was excellent. Would use again for my next purchase.
We are very pleased with our BoxHub experience. The process was easy, and setting up delivery was a breeze. We worked with Steven J at BoxHub, Elizabeth set up delivery and Leon was our delivery driver. Everything went smoothly and the containers are exactly what Steven said they would be. Elizabeth gave us Leon's name when scheduling and he called us the evening before hand as promised. Leon maneuvered his truck on our challenging driveway/hill with grace and a smile, then dropped the containers exactly where we needed them. Thank you for doing as you say you will.
Box hub fit the needs of my shipping container. The day before deliver there sub contractor called to cancel the delivery for the day scheduled. Called box hub and they worked hard to correct the issue and found a delivery contract for the day promised. Them fixing it seamlessly make me a very happy customer. The container is as promised air and water tight. I'd recommend box hub for your shipping container needs.
Product is exactly as we wanted, and the delivery team did an amazing job dropping it on site perfectly. Thank you again.

They made the entire purchasing process quick and easy. If you need a storage container, I highly recommend Boxhub.
Other than a little hiccup with the first delivery, I am very happy with the purchase. The delivery driver, Roman, was very skilled and set the container exactly where it needed to be on the railroad ties.
I chose Boxhub because of the many reviews and the accredited A+ rating with the BBB. Great communication from calls to emails. The process was easy, and they were thorough in getting all the information needed for the delivery site. When my container arrived, I was impressed with the condition. Absolutely satisfied with the entire experience.
Adam was a great help every step of the way from start to finish, the hole process was very easy and Boxhub worked with use.

An incredible experience. Bought and paid for my container. 5 business days later it was delivered as promised. What more could you ask for. A company that backs up what they say. I must admit i was a bit skeptical, but was blown away with results and not excuses. Great company to do business with!!!!!
Containers were delivered on time and also were in good condition. Well worth the price.
I purchased 2 one trip units they arrived on time and were as described. The delivery driver placed them as directed. Everything went smoothly. Thank You
The whole purchase and delivery went smooth
The driver was great and nice container for the price
Our salesman Alex was great to work with. Addressed all of my questions and concerns. I ended up with a W&WT 40’HC. Delivery was quick and professional. They put the container exactly where I wanted it and helped set the blocking so it was level. Communication for everyone was excellent.
On time, courteous, did a good job in placement, all done in short time!
Excellent Price and service! Quick Delivery
I needed extra storage in a hurry and Boxhub had the best price around along with great customer service!
All the support and sales staff are really respectful and responsive. (Shout out to Fernanda! You were so great 👍🏽) the container itself was in great condition, and more affordable than other used shipping containers. The delivery went smoothly and the driver was friendly and helpful! Would definitely recommend.
Got the container here delivered on schedule and as described. Driver was AWESOME. Boxhub website is ok but A) I had problems accessing parts of the site, server errors. B) I never got any updates on my container BUT was subscribed to updates on ALL off their containers. Got notified for 2 weeks every time any container was scheduled, picked up, or delivered. C) my container was delivered and still shows not delivered. Fix your site guys! Nonetheless, got here on time and delivery was great, would buy from again.
Great communication, delivery and product. Thank you!
Fantastic experience from start to finish and it's wonderful to have a gorgeous container on my land in Marfa.
Easy process and awesome driver.
Fast, easy delivery. Thank you
Love my 40-foot container. Perfect delivery. The container is exactly where I wanted it. Great service.
Helpful, fast & accurate.
What are the benefits of a shipping container home?
Endless Design Configurations
Because shipping containers come in standardized sizes and specs, they’re easy to configure into homes as large and complex as you’d like. Stack them or attach them onto one-another to create a multi-family dwelling, a single-family home with plenty of rooms, or keep things simple with one-room home made from a single container.
Adaptable to Any Environment
Shipping container homes can be modified to adapt and endure any environment. For example, air conditioning can be added to homes in warm regions, and insulation can be added to combat cold climates.
Completely Customizable
There are limitless options when it comes to customizing your shipping container home. You can add state-of-the-art plumbing, windows, exterior, security, and more. Boxhub sells a range of shipping container kits for window modifications, and you can find plenty of tiny home ideas and inspiration online for customizing your new home.
Build with Any Budget
Shipping containers are much less expensive than traditional homes since you’re eliminating costly building supplies. And since they’re modular, you can start small and continue to build out your home as your budget sees fit.

Typically, a shipping container is expected to last approximately 25 years before losing its structural capabilities.
When it comes to a shipping container home, you can expect that lifespan to be longer since you are not using the shipping container to transport cargo long distances. It’s remaining stationary so it won’t accumulate the same levels of wear and tear as those containers. As long as you take the right precautions, your shipping container home should last for 25 years or more.
For a detailed breakdown of how to extend your shipping container’s lifespan and keep your home structurally sound for decades, check out this blog article.

Shipping containers are available in several standardized sizes and conditions, making it easy to choose a container — or containers — to build your home. The most readily available sizes are 20-foot shipping containers, which have an internal volume of 1,172ft³, and 40-foot shipping containers, which have an internal volume of 2,385ft³. Choosing the right size and condition of your containers depends on your intended home design and budget. If you're building a single-container home, it really comes down to how much square footage you want.
For a more detailed breakdown of container sizes and conditions, check out this helpful guide to choosing the right shipping container.
You need to make sure that your drop-off site is safe and accessible for the delivery driver.
They will need enough space to maneuver the truck and offload your shipping container. They will also need a smooth, solid road — surfaces like sand, mud, snow, and loose dirt won't work for a delivery.
When choosing where you want your shipping container placed, keep in mind that shipping containers used for storage should rest on level, stable surfaces. This prevents the doors from warping and becoming difficult to close. A cement or asphalt foundation is best, as it will provide a firm, level surface for the container and will stop water from pooling around the bottom.
You can also protect your shipping container self-storage unit from groundwater by raising it on level wooden blocks or iron plates.
If you notice something unexpected with the container, call us at 888-771-1216.
Technically, anybody can turn a shipping container into a home — you don't need a construction background. Boxhub's affiliates — such as Alternative Living Spaces — offer courses to educate consumers on how to create a shipping container home, DIY-style. We also sell a variety of container modification kits to help turn your shipping container into a home. For a full breakdown of what's available, please call 888-771-1216.
Generally speaking, most container homes are either 20 or 40 feet long and 8 feet, and 6 inches tall. But within that, you need to leave some space for things like insulation — we recommend about 6 inches per side. That means, for instance, within a 20-foot container you have 19 feet of interior room space.
We typically recommend high-cube shipping containers for housing, to ensure your shipping container home has ample vertical space.
Shipping container homes range in size and complexity and your project cost will depend on your design plans and your budget. If your budget is tight, you could minimize your costs by constructing a tiny home out of a single 20ft container, making only the basic modifications, and using low-cost materials. Alternatively, if your budget isn’t an issue, you can create a modular home out of multiple containers and upscale materials. It’s all up to you!
