There is an abundance of options for splitting the total area of the container for multifunctional zones, from which a more appropriate layout is selected, taking into account the number of living, seasonal use of the cottage, design preferences and other judgments that are recognized to you.
Using modern finishing materials, it is allowed to change the external appearance of an ordinary cargo container in front of unrecognizability. No one will ponder, which a comfortable summer cottage has come from the decommissioned 40-ton. Much to increase the useful site of the object is allowed through the construction of a country house of several containers, put tightly together or near the corner, also - in two floors. In the latter case, it is again possible to carry out the caravan for the car and the open terrace for the sake of rest, due to the displacement of the upper container for about a meter to the side relative to the lower block. With the optimistic coloring of the container, it was possible to get a jubilee building with a wooden terrace and awning
For the construction of holiday homes from all available types of container containers, generally use large-tonnage containers:
20-foot (dry freight)
40- (dry freight or high-high cube);
45-foot (dry freight or high-high cube).
Standard containers of the high cube type differ from conventional dry modules freight increased height and higher capacity. That the ceilings in the house were higher, it is better to receive containers of this type.
It should be noted that the width of all types of containers is similar and is 2350 mm. The length of the 20-foot module is estimated at 5898 mm, and 40-foot - 12032 mm. The height of both containers is 2393 mm. At the highest container High Cube this parameter is more for 300 mm. Dimensions of 45-feet for a lot of mm exceed the dimensions of a 40-foot module.

Features of the construction of large-capacity containers
ordinary blocks
reinforced concrete pillars
screw piles
TISE piles with bottom expansion in the form of a sole;
concrete pillars embedded in formwork
huge diameter pipes, etc.
To the reinforcing cage of each foundation pillar, an iron support pad should be welded. This site is needed in order to firmly weld it to the container itself. This will protect the dacha building through thieves, who can steal a device for any purpose for its future use or resale. Installing the used pile base container with special lifting equipment is carried out with extra care
Summer house from a standard six-meter
The economical variation of the construction of a house from a single standard 20-foot (six-meter) container assumes the presence of:
the first rotary window of single-chamber PVC with double-glazed windows
external door;
personal heating;
thermal insulation;
inner lining made of PVC panels (ceiling) and MDF plates (walls);
household linoleum used as a floor covering
The artificial explanation is organized by 2 fluorescent lights
There is one outlet and one switch
A little less expensive will be the conversion of a standard container into a summer house, if PVC panels cover not only the ceiling, but also the walls. Change the household linoleum for semi-commercial. Install plumbing: a toilet, a washbasin and a shower cabin, as well as a 200-liter boiler for the sake of heating water for household needs. The only option is to arrange the inside of the house-container. The right place of the room increases due to the removal of the walls of the adjacent containers
Even more will have to spend, if you design two windows in a container, change the finish from PVC panels for laminated chipboard panels of the color you like, arrange heating with an electric heater, equipped with a thermostat, fool the hidden wiring, using euro-sockets and euro-switches. The floor is laid out with tiles, and a special atmosphere is expected to fit into the narrow and longish place of the container.
More exclusive design implies the presence of panoramic windows, sliding doors that allow to expand the internal place due to the terraces, exterior decoration, roof construction.

Warming an iron container from the outside is only allowed in the book case, if you intend to extract the summer residence into a course of round age. In this case, the container does not quite freeze out, and probably does not quite resemble the condensate for the inner walls of the house. If the dacha building you wish to extract preferably in the summer season, and in winter to visit as appropriate, then it must perform the insulation from the inside.
In which sequence to perform the work? But for no reason:
Before cutting out all the window and door openings in accordance with the project to upgrade the container, as well as the holes near the ventilation and chimneys.
Weld to the skin pointwise according to both sides of each cut-out opening of a square-section tube that will move through the floor in front of the ceiling. To them weld a continuous seam horizontal pipes, launched above the gap and near it. Without cause, you restore the structural strength of the container wall, weakened through discontinuities in the continuity of the stiffeners.
Brew the swinging doors of the container, and clean it through rust, if any.
5-10 cm make a vertical crate, which is quite helpful for the beacon to be a polystyrene foam or polyurethane foam that perfectly fills the profiles in the walls of the container.
Spray the heat insulator and cut off its excesses in accordance with the exposed beacons.
Similarly, make the ceiling insulated.
Then tighten the walls and the ceiling of the container with a vapor barrier membrane, stapler.
Finish the finishing with a lining, gypsum, chipboards, pvc panels and other materials.
Warm the floor with the same spraying or foam polystyrene slabs. It is not forbidden to fill the screed from light concrete. It is not necessary to remove mineral wool as a floor heat insulator, which is to get water endlessly holding water, which can cause rusting of the bottom of the container,It is also worth noting that the installation of a fireplace, a stove, a chimney device should take 5-10 centimeters of basalt cotton wool for the isolation of places of possible contact with hot surfaces. The spraying of the heat insulator for the wall and the ceiling of the container is done in a face mask and special one-time work clothes
Construction of a country house of several containers
Much more and more fascinating is the country house, built of several containers. To arrange modules relatively each other is allowed by various methods, getting open terraces, small courtyards, carports for cars, recreation and seclusion areas, guest rooms. As a foundation, in this case also piles are used, which are allowed to bribe ready or cast, using a single cardboard cylindrical formwork. Installation of piles for a site with a complex relief is carried out taking into account the necessity of their alignment to a single height. The pile setting is 3 meters.
Directly near the bathroom is built of concrete insulated basement, in which there is a pumping station with a hydroaccumulator, filters for cleaning water from the well, as well as other basic elements of the autonomous water supply system of the suburban house.
A low container gable roof, which allows you to absorb separately standing modules like a single agreement. In addition to the decorative effect, this roof contributes to additional heat and waterproofing of the under-roof of the house.
A natural explanation inside the cottage is provided not only through the panoramic windows installed in the walls of the container, and the anti-aircraft windows mounted for the ceiling with the exit to the roof through the light wells. These windows allow you to again organize the ventilation of the inner place of the holiday home.
As the heating of a holiday home from several containers, it is better to take the"Warm Floor"system. The heating cable is laid spirally according to the whole house, and is poured with a screed. Around the cable is the desire to pre-solve the foamed polyethylene foam, protected by a dolce. This will reduce the number of heat losses through the floor of the iron container. To fill the screed should anticipate the presence of compensatory seams that do not allow its surface to burst to be temperature fluctuations. Acquired concrete floor after it is allowed to polish, polish and varnish.
In order to make a common place, in the walls of adjacent containers cut out the gaps of different widths, while using racks and beams from the I-beam to strengthen the structure. The walls of the containers are covered with metal guides for the purpose of spraying the heat insulator - polyurethane foam. Prior to the spraying of the heat insulator, the wiring is laid in accordance with the selective scheme with the introduction of an RCD. It is absolutely necessary to have all the metal parts of the common bus and grounding house between each metal part.
