Homes made of shipping containers are virtually indestructible. These containers are designed to hold
up to thirty tons of weight and to be stacked more than ten high; that’s over 200 tons when fully loaded — all the while being subjected to physical stress, saltwater, and varying temperatures. So there’s no doubt that shipping containers can easily withstand whatever weight loads a typical house will place upon it, withstand high winds, resist fires and earthquakes and stay strong in any climate and geography; even resist pests like termites, mold, dry rot and other fungus infestations.
