Our Build Process

Whether a standard or custom build, our container building process ensures an amazing final product.

Foundation

Can be placed on an approved slab-style foundation or concrete pier foundation (recommended). Concrete blocks and railroad ties also can work!

Insulation and HVAC

All walls/ceilings/floors in Backcountry Containers are insulated with closed cell foam spray insulation. This provides a sealed environment, allowing no hot or cold air to enter. Included AC/Heat provides cool air on hot summer days, and warm air on ruthless northern winter days.

Plumbing

Plumbing is set up so that the container can be either hooked up to city approved drainage, or simply hooked up to both a blackwater and greywater portable tank. Water saving fixtures come standard in containers. Composting toilets are also an option. Water supply can either be provided by city approved water hookup, or for “Off-grid”, a water reservoir tank in conjunction with a pump can be used. Compact tankless water heaters are utilized for on demand hot water.

Electricity

Electricity is set up so that the container can be either hooked up to city approved power, or for “Off-grid”, simply hooked up to an appropriate generator. Solar Power is also an excellent option for our containers.
