Frequently asked questions
What is a 20ft container home with a water tank best used for?
The integrated water tank suits off-grid or rural siting, making it a good tiny home, cabin, or guest unit where a mains water hookup is limited.
How big is it and what does the water tank add?
It is a 20ft by 8ft unit of roughly 160 sq ft, with an onboard water tank that supports the bathroom and kitchen when a permanent supply is not yet connected.
What does refurbished condition mean here?
Refurbished means a used container was repaired and fitted out to a finished standard, so it presents cleanly while costing less than new. It is inspected and graded before delivery.
Are permits needed for an off-grid setup?
Even off-grid dwellings usually fall under local zoning, septic, and water rules, and insulation helps control condensation. Check requirements before siting. This is general guidance, not legal advice.
Can plumbing or finishes be modified?
Water, electrical, windows, doors, and insulation can be tailored through our custom-modifications service. Note your needs in the quote and we will scope them.
