When driving along the roads of your home town, it is likely that you will have seen a number of shipping containers dotted all over the landscape. You may find this unusual at first, but if you knew just how many uses a shipping container really has, this would not be the case. You see,shipping containers, San Diego residents should note, are used for much more than simply shipping goods overseas. Today they can be used for everything from an emergency home to storing valuable goods and this is why they are a much more common sight than they used to be.
Uses
Shipping containers, Tucson people may have noticed, are now being used as living spaces almost as often as they are being used to ship goods. The most common use of shipping containers is probably as temporary office space. They are particularly popular within the construction industry where contractors move around so often that having a permanent office, or renting space is simply not practical, but this is not their only use.
Dormitory
Many shipping containers are being used as temporary dormitory space. They are fitted out with windows, electrics, plumbing and beds and this makes them very comfortable for a few nights’  sleep.
Storage
Shipping containers, Los Angeles residents may be pleased to hear, are also perfect for storage. We all have so much stuff in our homes now that it can be overwhelming, but shipping containers provide the perfect space to store overspill safely.
