There are many hindrances to buying a home, from soaring prices to mountains of student loan debt. Environmental sustainability should also factor into your calculations, with governments acting far too slowly to stop the march of global warming. The tiny home movement aims to alleviate these concerns through compact, sustainable living – cheaper than traditional housing if you avoid the pitfalls of buying a pre-built tiny home. Finding a 40ft shipping container for sale, a couple if you want a bigger space, is the perfect start to building an environmentally conscious and affordable tiny home or workspace.

Advantages of Building a Shipping Container Tiny Home
People’s values are a significant determinant of choosing to live in a tiny home. Studies show that even after moving from a tiny home to a regular house, tiny home dwellers still live more sustainably. Finding a 40ft high cube shipping container for sale and building a shipping container tiny house is the most sustainable way to create a tiny house. Because congestion in the global supply chain has caused a surplus in shipping containers, there has never been a better time to build a shipping container home or workshop. These containers can only serve their primary purpose for a limited time but remain strong and sturdy to serve as the structure for your tiny house or workshop.
- The savings on construction materials is significant. Shipping containers provide a prefabricated structure that you merely need to fill with the amenities you need and insulate it.
- They are highly customisable. Finding a 40ft high cube container for sale is like working with a blank canvas. You create the flow and add all the features you want, making your home truly unique.
- It is environmentally conscious. Tiny houses use less energy and have a much smaller physical footprint. Going off-grid is easier than it seems and the best option for the environment.
What To Look Out For
Some difficulties come with building a tiny house, and the most damaging ones are zoning laws and financing.
- Make sure you check the local zoning laws where you want to build. Building a tiny home on land that you or someone you know owns is allowed without approval but be careful of multiple tiny homes on one lot.
- Financing is complex because you can’t get a mortgage or a home loan on a tiny home. You will need construction loans, land loans and personal loans if you don’t have the cash reserves to buy the 40ft container for sale.
- Delivery: Keep in mind that we also offer professional and safe delivery of containers to your property.
