doskie: Earthing of all electrical wiring will minimise electric shock..... Even ships are made of steel and all wirings are earthed.. What you should be afraid of is corrosion... Cos the cargo container should be painted with marine coating paint or a sacrificial anode should be attached to fight corrosion For the heat factor... the container house will be heavily insulated to absorb heat.. also you can install extractor in every rooms, and it is best to install Solar power system to enjoy this container house 10 Likes |

paulchineduN: No!!! It is not unique to Nigeria. They are used in most developed countries and even India. This is.what is use as temporary accommodation for homeless people in some western cities. For those complaining about heat/cold, these houses can be insulated using glass fibers, wool or other lagging materials. 6 Likes |

AuroraB: Sorry, but you've got no point. If you were to build a 2 bedroom flat, can 500 get you that?. How about people who use solar power to generate light? You need to think twice 4 Likes |

onatisi: It won't if proper attention is focused on the corrosion aspect... 1. If there's any sign of rust, it should be immediately chipped off with a chipping hammer 2. Marine coating paint only should be use (First Prime the surface before using the marine coating paint) Marine coating paint is used for painting ship's hull because ships works in a very harsh environment, where almost half of its body is submerged in salt water for years. If such paint is used for painting this container house, it will last for 8-10years with no issues of corrosion. Since the paint is VERY EXPENSIVE, I doubt those Nigerian designers would employ it's usage for the container house 6 Likes |
