Partition walls can be used to divide the space into various zones, while still permitting a clear flow throughout.
Shelving units are great for storing large items like pipes or fabric rolls. Pipe racks are made of metal which extend from the wall.

Certain towns and cities have strict rules about alternative dwellings, while others are more accommodating. It is also crucial to look into the zoning laws and building codes in your area before purchasing land for your container home.

High Cube
When you think of shipping containers, the standard ones are great for storage and cargo. However, if you need more height a high cube option is the best option. These containers have an extra foot of headroom, but still keep the standard dimensions of length and width.
This makes them easy to fit under standard height clearances for storage or transport, making it easier to move the container around. They are also suitable for projects that require modification, such as office or housing where an additional headroom for a foot is essential.
The extra height also gives you the ability to utilize taller equipment without the need to lay it flat, increasing your storage capacity. Furthermore, they can hold more weight than standard containers which makes them a great choice for larger items or things that require a bit of extra space in the upper area.
High cube containers come with a few disadvantages, despite their many advantages. For instance, they cost more than standard containers and are more expensive to transport due to their extra size. In addition, the added height makes them difficult to stack or maneuver which may pose challenges for certain projects and sites. When deciding if a tall-cube container is right for you, it's crucial to think about your location and transport requirements.
