Are shipping containers insulated for off-grid or year-round use?
By default, shipping containers are not insulated, but they can be easily modified to support climate control. You can add spray foam insulation, rigid panels, or eco-friendly materials to maintain interior temperatures. Paired with proper ventilation, solar setups, and heating/cooling units, containers can be transformed into cozy year-round homesteads in nearly any climate.
