The containers, properly called inter-modal steel building units (ISBUs).
ISBUs are manufactured in two sizes - 20' x 8' x 8' and 40' x 8' x 8'.
Some manufacturers are creating odd size containers for specific purposes.
One can add a french door, a roll door, ventilation, air conditioning for temporary housing, office space, or a camping retreat/storage unit on your property in the middle of nowhere. Multiple containers can be used as building blocks to create larger and more permanent structures. For example, 3 Fort foot units placed side by side with the side walls of the inner container removed provides a large open space.
The containers are manufactured to be stacked as much as nine high without compromising their structural integrity so second or third stories are no problem.
