Detachable Container House

A detachable container house is a factory-prefabricated house that can be fully disassembled and then reassembled with bolts. Unlike folding houses, its walls, frame, and floor can all be taken apart and separated, shipped as components, and assembled on site. There is no welded part in the whole structure.
Wanzhi Steel specializes in producing detachable container houses. The frames of our assembled houses are all made of hot-dipped galvanized square tubes, with thickened metal sandwich panels. Colors, patterns, doors, windows, and layouts can be customized to fully meet your specific needs.

Step 3 – Electrical and plumbing pre-embedding
Electrical and plumbing installation, including conduit layout, water pipe layout, socket and switch installation. Pre-embedded in advance.
Step 4 – Factory pre-assembly inspection
Ensure bolts and holes align. Conduct lighting circuit testing, and check for defects in doors, windows, flooring, etc.
Step 5 – Disassembly and packing
Fully disassemble, stack steel frames, bundle wall panels, bundle doors and windows, and pack accessories into boxes.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between a detachable container house and a folding house?
A: A detachable house is shipped with frame and panels separated, and assembled on site with bolts. A folding house is pre-assembled at the factory and directly unfolded or simply assembled on site.
Q: Is a foundation required?
A: No, only a simple concrete cushion or gravel base is needed. If you install on a slope, please contact us for customization.
Q: Can I stack them into two layers?
A: Yes, you need to add connectors and reinforce the bottom layer structure.
