MAC containers making sure you can have thespace to thrive.

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

MAC containers are used all over the planet to hold goods in, create office space, smoking shelters, shower rooms and toilets and because they can be used like Lego have been used for some fantastically creative housing alternatives. Fantastic how technology powers in the changes as there seems to be no stops to the uses for these great secure containers that are also free of condensation making them a space that people have used to store antiques as well as precious sports cars.

I recently drove past 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 fit the complete contents of a 4 bedroom house in one of these containers just makes a place like that even more awe inspiring. The massive crane down by the docks raising these huge containers through the air as if they don’t weigh anything is a real eye opener.

Having worked in the building trade for a while 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 the normal 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 bad weather days you frequently find them filled with builders trying 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 expand the area that a given school has available to it. This can make a significant difference as planning permission is frequently hard to come by and the planning office may be more open to a structure that can be easily taken away at a later date or when enough money has been raised to extend the existing building. The other thing is with 190 colours to choose from you know you will choose something that will be able to blend into the scenery.

For me as the cost of a MAC container isn’t that much I bought one for my home as It provided me with a space to work on my motorbikes without the worry 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 silly not to take it) and ensured I could get on with complete strip downs and services without freezing outside.
