Pros and cons of building a container home

Home / Pros and cons of building a container home

Building a home has become more and more expensive over the years. So, it’s no surprise that people have started to look for alternative and more affordable ways of building their forever home. One of the styles that is continuously growing in popularity is container homes.

While people agree that it’s a creative choice, you can’t support it without looking at both the pros and cons of building a container home.

The good news is that you don’t need to look for a list anymore, as we’ve got one right here!

Pros of building a container home

It’s cost-effective

Shipping containers are readily available and relatively inexpensive, which can help to reduce the cost of construction.

It’s durable

Container homes are built with strength and durability in mind meaning that they can withstand harsh weather conditions

They’re mobile

They are easy to transport and can be relocated quickly.

There’s less construction time needed

Small container homes can be built as quickly as three weeks!

There’s room for creativity

They offer a unique and modern aesthetic that allows room for customisation to suit the owner’s needs and preferences.

Cons of building a container home

Limited design options

Being made from shipping containers means that there is a limited range of sizes and dimensions that could limit design options.

Permitting issues

Depending on where you live, there may be strict regulations regarding the use of shipping containers as homes. This can make it difficult to get the necessary permits and approvals to build a container home.

Limited resale value

Because container homes are relatively new and not as common as traditional homes, they may not have the same resale value. This can make it difficult to sell a container home in the future.

Wigwam Self Storage can be extremely useful to you when building a container home. We can keep your tools and building materials safe, organised and out of the way, provide a secure place to store your belongings while your home is being built and keep your items that may not fit in your container home once it is completed.

We have a wide range of unit sizes to help make your building process smoother and more efficient, allowing you to focus on the construction of your new container home.

From the 1st moment I contacted Wigwam I was impressed with their customer services and facilities! I arrived at their premises without an appointment and was guided through the facility remotely without a hitch. The storage units are clean, secure and value for money. The team were very helpful throughout and Claudia rang me when agreed and was extremely sweet and helpful My circumstances have changed for the moment so I didn't need to go ahead but I wanted to leave a review as I was so impressed. I will not hesitate to come straight back to them when the time comes :)

Impressive storage facility in central Cheltenham
location. Good access in opening hours using the App. (Be prepared to check mail filter if the initial email giving access to the App and hence to your store does not seem to come through.) Clean, well lit. Kasey gave a very helpful introduction and registration process.

I had need of storage space at short notice. Wigwam came up in a search as local to me with good reviews. Let me say the reviews are well deserved. They have all different storage unit sizes which you can easily select online.
I've never used self storage before so it was all new to me but Wigwam have made it so intuitive and simple to use. You download the app which gives you easy Bluetooth access to the entire building. I've only used the facility out of office hours and it was all so easy. There are flat bed trolleys, a pump truck and a sack truck to make moving your items hassle free. Safe, secure storage, easy to use, accessible until 10pm and reasonable prices. Top marks all round.
I'd recommended Wigwam to anyone wanting self storage.

This is a company i have no trouble in recommending, the whole process from my first contacting them to getting axcess to the lockup has been a pleasure.

Denise Haddon

15:25 18 Feb 26

It was a last minute thing to get some storage but a quick phone call to Wig wam and really within minute's and a few I.D bits required from myself I was all set up and panick over, I would definitely recommend, and one of the main things I liked they answered the phone very quickly and you spoke to a real person, that means a lot. Well done guys

I am a trustee of a local community theatre and we have very little storage space onsite. Wigwam have been a lifesaver and could not have been more helpful. Very friendly, cost effective and the storage units are immaculately clean. The phone app which facilitates access is so simple to use, and allows us to grant temporary access. Thank you Wigwam Lincoln.

I needed to organise a storage unit on a pretty quick turn around- thankfully having had one at the Alton site before they were able to do so.

Lenny called as soon as I emailed and was extremely helpful on making this process quick and easy so i could get into the unit the next day.

there was an issue with the app when i went to use the unit but i emailed Lenny and he rang back within 5 mins and managed to resolve the issue very quickly.

would recommend and thanks to Lenny for making the process smooth.

Decent website, helpful and rapid responses to queries. Took the time to do a guided tour via phone to help me determine the appropriate unit size. Fast and efficient onboarding and the facility is clean and looks reasonably secure. Other than that, it's a storage space that you can store things in. Reasonable costs. App does the job for opening the doors and stuff. V.Happy so far.

Wigwam self storage have proven very helpful when I couldn’t be around for moving out. They gave the removal company access and were transparent and responsive throughout the process of vacating, even when there were delays. I would like to mention Kasey from Cheltenham, who was very supportive start to finish from when I moved in to when I moved out. Thank you.

Rob Walkey

Yes the staff at. Wigwam Self Storage were excellent help as from beginning and to the end of downloading their App to my mobile phone.Also on our first arrival at the self storage unit helped us right to our container. No problem was too much for them to sort on the spot.
Containers are amazing excellent lighting and very clean.
Thank you Lenny 👍xx

Matthew Tarling

23:50 11 Dec 25

I can't fault Wigwam from the point of signing up to moving in, everything was smooth and hassle free. The security app for admission to the site is intuitive, and so user friendly. I have one of the smaller units at just 25 square feet, but it's surprising how much you can get in with ease. I've since got a lot more in freeing up space at home for things I only occasionally need.
Wigwam are highly recommended by me!

Mick Limming

11:33 10 Dec 25

Absolutely ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I can’t recommend Wigwam Storage in Lincoln highly enough. From start to finish, the whole experience was fantastic. Every member of the team was incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional — nothing was too much trouble, and they genuinely went out of their way to make the process easy and stress-free.

The facility itself is excellent: clean, secure, well-maintained, and clearly run with a lot of care. It’s obvious they take real pride in what they do, and that gives you total peace of mind when storing your belongings.

If you’re looking for a reliable storage facility in Lincoln with an amazing team and top-quality facilities, Wigwam Storage is the place to go. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and will happily recommend them to anyone.

Krista Pickering

Fantastic experience from start to finish.
The signing up process was easy, and the service from the staff was speedy, friendly, helpful and professional.
The app used to access the premises was easy to use and gave added assurance of the security of my items.
Once inside the premises were modern, clean, well lit, and directions to the storage unit were clear and easy to follow…. Even the lift had step by step instructions!
All in all a fantastic company and storage facility.
Thank you!

12:27 12 Nov 25

We found ourselves in a fix when my mums purchase failed to complete on a Friday so could not move in a van full of her belongings, so needed a storage unit at zero notice large enough to fit a Luton van of contents. Wigwam were so understanding and helpful and arranged for the unit to be available so quickly - a real godsend! As we only needed it for a week they explained how to only pay for 2 weeks rather than the normal month- so much cheaper that keeping the hire van van for a further week - thank you!

Mark Blezard

16:59 11 Nov 25

So, self-storage in a city like Bath is like giving candy to a kid, everyone wants/needs it. But to have such a slick operation as Wigwam, and two amazing managers on site is incredible.

The customer service is second to none, and facilities utterly perfect.

11 out of 10.

Karen Mitchell

17:09 05 Nov 25

Everyone I spoke to before leasing my unit was incredibly friendly. I had a tour of the site via phone so I knew what to do and expect.

I was very impressed everything is via the app and that side of things is very responsive and I have had no issues so far.
They even play the radio in there.

Gergo Labancz

18:58 04 Nov 25

Absolutely fantastic service!!!
Holly was an absolute star, we were panicking as we were in the middle of our house moving and needed a quick storage area. Less then an hour after our first call we were already putting boxes to our Storage.
The site is nice and clean, the entry system is truly clever and makes the storage Access easy and quick.
Customer service is top notch 👌

Deborah Kirkpatrick

16:54 04 Nov 25

The telephone staff are very friendly and efficient, helped me when I set the alarm off (oops), they provide very good service both prior to renting a unit and during the rental period. They helped me decide on the right size unit by letting me access to view the various sizes and shapes.
They talked me through the entering and exiting the facility. Jess was outstanding dealing with all the paperwork quickly and me being forgetful and dim.
Thank you very much, hopefully I won't set any alarms off again

We have been extremely impressed by the high level of service from Sascha and Selina at Wigwam in Bath. Following a busy period delivering our public arts project, we urgently needed a small space to store items and within one hour we had agreed a competitive cost and had keyless access via the app. Very happy and would highly recommend.

Dominique Mitchell

Great facility! Easy to access, good instructions. The outstanding service was from the team at the head office, they were incredibly responsive, helpful and personable. You made a stressful situation SO much better, thank you. Still using the storage but know that the company is super flexible if I need to shorten or make it longer.
My one suggestion is to extend the timers on the doors when entering the storage unit as sometimes it enough time to unload big deliveries onto a trolley and get back to the unit building before the doors close!
All in all, AMAZING company! Couldn’t recommend more :)

Nina Julian

13:53 29 Oct 25

Great experience from the get go. Easy to book. Staff are on the ball. Great communication. Facilities easy to access via app. Staff on hand if needed just give them a call. Highly recommend.

I enquired about a unit a few weeks ago and was helped by a lovely young lady called Selina. She showed me the units and gave me all the info I needed and followed up on email to make sure I had all the info. I also had some dealings with Sasha and she was equally as helpful. I ended up not needing the unit but their amazing service couldnt go unrecognised. Wigwam are lucky to have such a dedicated professional employees. They were a pleasure to deal with and behave in a way that you'd think they owned the business. Thanks Selina and Sasha for restoring my faith in customer service.

I enquired about a space in Bath a few weeks ago but was uncertain if I'd need it. I was helped by a lovely young lady called Selina. She went out of her way to give me info and showed me around the facillity. I didnt end up taking the unit but I had to write this because such service is rare nowadays. My sister has a unit at Wigwam and also raves abut the service.

The whole experience was excellent.
TheWigwam staff saw the shipment into the storage unit for us and made it all as simple as is possible when moving home and countries at the same time.
The storage building is well organised, clean, tidy, secure and access was available everyday for a significant number of hours.

I had a really positive experience moving in at Wigwam. Staff there (Selina in particular) kept me posted regularly and provided good transparent information about costs and unit availability.

I have used the Wigwam storage unit twice now, as it is reasonably priced and is in an accessible location in Cheltenham. Kasey is a friendly and a great member of staff who makes renting out the unit very simple and keeps in contact throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend.

We just moved items into the storage unit in Bath. Super easy process, from viewing units to booking, setting up monthly payments and using an app to access the unit. Selina was so helpful. Also easy parking and access, off London Road. Clean and safe

Very impressed with Wigwam, great personal interaction and lovely to get to talk to actual people! Love the key App and have been assured that it is possible to slow down the door closures, which were a bit of a pain.

Very happy client so far, thanks to Lenny and team 🙏😃

Wigwam storage units in Lincoln are fantastic. From the first contact to ask about the storage to now 5 months later it has been exceptional. The price is very good. I am happy that my items are safe.
The units are easy to access, they are spacious and clean. I have a lot of camping equipment plus all my Xmas decorations (I have a lot) in the winter we will also be storing our hot tub. We also have lots of stuff that was the children’s when they were growing up. It has given us the spare room back at the house.
Staff are always polite friendly and very helpful.

Excellent new storage facility in Alton. Clean and well organised. All opened up using an app so no staff on site so it’s very quiet. I cannot praise the office staff highly enough. I made an error of judgment when I chose the size of unit I thought I required. After nearly filling the original unit I realised my mistake and within half an hour I was allocated a bigger unit down the hall which made relocating to it much easier. As it was also a Friday night when I realised my error they allowed me to have the two units until the next day to give me time to swap over. The staff were so helpful and made a stressful day much easier than it could have been.

All staff have been extremely helpful in explaining all the options to us. Very good security, very convenient to be able to use our own code and get in at any time to suit us. Very good to receive a monthly e-mail regarding the invoice. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking about storage.

I had an outstanding experience with Wigwam Storage. The staff were incredibly helpful and guided me through the entire process to access my unit with ease. The unit itself was very clean, and the whole process was seamless from start to finish. I also felt reassured by the strong security measures in place. Highly recommend for anyone needing reliable and friendly storage services.

Wigwam offer a superb variety of storage solutions with robust security and monitoring systems, giving you the confidence that your goods will be stored in very safe hands. Access is made very easy with personalised codes allowing you to come and go at your convenience. The team on the front desk are also all extremely friendly and helpful. We could not recommend Wigwam Storage more highly.

Well organised. Not pushy. They made some helpful suggestions when I realised I'd not booked enough space. They gave me all the options. Were fair with the costs. Transferred the service agreement and had the paperwork ready when I came back with the next load. What a nice bunch of people to deal

Great location, great facility and great service. What’s not to like? Price? It’s competitive.

Greg Booker

16:09 25 Mar 25

App worked smoothly - site is clean and modern, unit was sensibly designed and easy to get to. Only tiny complaint is our unit was about as far away from the front door as it can be (albeit without having to use the lift) but I guess someone has to be :-) The roller doors on the 100 sq ft unit we have were beautifully balanced such that you'll want to be careful you don't use too much force when opening and closing them. The trolleys might take a little bit of time to get used to the rear-wheel steering particularly when heavy loaded but if you're used to somewhere like B&Q you'll be fine.
For full disclosure, we've only just rented the unit and filled it up, but the experience so far has been great. Response times to emails and helpfulness of staff has been excellent.

Everything ran smoothly, the unit was perfect for my requirements, the staff were incredibly helpful....and then when I left, my deposit still has not been returned 3 weeks later. There is no excuse for the return of deposits to take this long and I am advised it can take up to 4 weeks. That is why this not a 5 star review

Nicola Cooper

18:44 12 Oct 24

Excellent experience!
We needed sudden storage after selling our parents’ house. I stopped in at the Bromsgrove branch and found it unmanned, (which I now know is normal).
I rang the number and spoke to an extremely helpful employee who offered me immediate, remote access to the building and let me see inside two different sized units.
After that, the set up was extremely quick!
I applied in the morning and was able to drop stuff off the same day. Everything is activated by an app on your phone but staff can be contacted by phone if needed.
On my second visit (after lots of rain) I did notice a pool of water not far from my unit. I rang up and by next day it had been sorted. No recurrence.
I am really happy with the unit and the excellent service.

Bunny Bush

10:42 08 Oct 24

I needed local storage so my friend recommended this place ! I went along to look round I just can not believe how much space they can offer you all dry clean well lit and importantly safe!! They think of everything there trolleys lifts and electric tail
Lift so you don’t have to struggle in and out with your things lots of parking too
The best thing that made me hire space is the ladies in reception they were so accommodating and helpful so thank you

I highly recommend Store Away.
I hired storage for my daughter to store all her Uni belongings while she was away for the summer.
Sasha provided excellent friendly service. Always at hand to help with any questions from the beginning to the end of our contract.
Great value for money.
Thank you Sascha.

Very impressed with this brand new storage facility. The security and access is very impressive and it’s so easy using my mobile to open the gates and doors. I spoke with Helen and Sarah who were brilliant and made moving in my stuff very simple. Well done Wigwam, I am glad you've opened in Alton.

Highly recommend this company

Anita Bennett

First time using a storage unit and was bit apprehensive but the staff at Wigwam storage are so friendly and helpful that they made everything very easy. The storage unit was easy to find and the app easy to use and any problems there was always someone on the other end of the phone to help. The unit was clean and tidy and it was nice to have music in the background. Would definitely recommend.

Leslie Ifeanyi Ehirim

18:47 23 Aug 23

Whoa, where do I start from, the guys there deserve more than a 5-star, pleasant, patient, good listeners, etc. Having used other storage this is the 1st I've experienced where the guys are happy to get involved with your stuff. The app allows you to have access which for me was way better than the traditional locks. I got there needing a big size but the guys advised that I get my stuff in 1st to see the best size (they were rather concerned about what suits my needs rather than the money) Luke and Kacey you guys are rock starts. Please keep this up. I'll recommend StoreAway Self Storage any day anytime.

Jennifer Wilson

00:10 21 Aug 23

All the staff were very responsive and didn't mind answering several email questions before the start of the contract. The app that allows access was super easy to use and the facilities are clean and in excellent condition. Rolling carts made move-in and move-out of our items so much easier.

Vikki Jones

13:57 14 Jun 23

What a fantastic setup! All members of staff are incredibly professional with a friendly manner and provide a brilliant service.The storage unit is ultra secure, but easy to navigate once set up. We were very impressed with everything from initial enquiry through to the end of our contract.
Would definitely recommend.

Wigwam have generously donated a unit to The Basement Project for our food bank. It is very high tech and access is managed through an app which is simple to use. Jos and the team have been really supportive and are easy to contact if we have any questions.

Dani Di Cio

13:26 03 Mar 23

I cannot recommend StoreAway enough for all your storage needs. The customer service I have received has just been fantastic. Luke is so helpful, friendly and professional. As are all the other staff I have met. Nothing is too much trouble. Not only is it conveniently located in the centre of town it’s so easy to access as you have an app on your phone so no faff with padlocks etc. Extremely competitive prices. Thank you so much Luke & all your team for making it such an easy process & for the incredible service. Dani

Let down by an online delivered van hire hours before we needed it (Nationwide) - had a ring round and discovered Wigwam also did van rental and they were closer to us. They were so helpful - quick, efficient and professional and did what they said. They saved our home move in the cold and snow. Couldn't have been happier with service - and patience even after we rang back and said - are you sure it will be there tomorrow when we arrive? . Would highly recommend.

Clare Cpx

15:20 21 Jan 22

Our 40ft international container 'off loaded' with no problems. Wigwam helped with a storage unit they knew would be the correct size! We had the unit for 6 months as we slowly moved things to our new home. I always felt safe, Wigwam is very clean and well lit. Most importantly EVERYONE at Wigwam were very professional, helpful, knowledgeable and understanding. They were even able to downsize my unit to save me money as I made progress. I would use them again for certain. My unit was upstairs and the huge easy to use goods lift made it super quick to access the units upstairs. I took out insurance which was flexible depending on my progress. The picture is of my smaller unit at the end once empty.

Rachel Munday

16:24 20 Dec 19

Very efficient and friendly service for great storage spaces at a competitive price. Guided through carefully at the start to make sure we got the right sized space for our needs and for our budget. Really supported through the "moving in" process & beyond. Would definitely recommend to friends and family needing storage but also extremely professional set up for small or independent business needs.
