MAC containers are used all over the world to store goods in, create office space, smoking shelters, shower rooms and toilets and because they can be placed like Lego have been used for some fantastically creative home alternatives. Amazing how technology powers in the changes as there seems to be no stops to the uses for these amazingly secure containers that are also free of condensation making them a place that people have used to house antiques as well as precious sports cars.
I recently drove by the Southampton docks and saw huge vessels stacked to the skies with MAC containers it was an amazing site to be seen, knowing that you can easily store the complete contents of a 4 bedroom house in one of these containers just makes a scene like that even more awe inspiring. The huge crane down by the docks raising these huge containers through the skies as if they don’t weigh anything is a real site to be seen.
Having worked in the building trade for a time you often see MAC containers being used as office space and as secure stores. Because the hinges are on the inside of a MAC container they are thief and vandal proof which is why it has made them an obvious choice for the building trades. On site they are normally filled with a huge assortment of tools that are locked away at night, but on really poor weather days you often find them filled with builders attempting to get out of the weather (and sometime work!).
Where as you used to have these terrible Porta cabins at school which tended to leak and were generally a bad environment for learning, MAC containers enable you to have a dry, condensation free, heated space with windows and good lighting allowing you to broaden the area that a given school has available to it. This can make all the difference as planning permission is frequently hard to come by and the planning office may be more open to a structure that can be simply removed at a later date or when enough funding has been raised to extend the existing structure. The other thing is with 190 colours to choose from you know you will find something that will be able to fade into the scenery.
For me as the price of a MAC container isn’t that much I bought one for my home as It gave me a space to work on my cars without the concern of someone trying to nick them. It also meant I had a dry space that was simple to heat (I know but as the heating option was there it seemed daft not to take it) and ensured I could get on with total strip downs and services without freezing outside.
