Mountain sites
Steel container cabins for mountain sites. Non-combustible exterior, not fireproof.
A steel shipping container already has a non-combustible metal skin. Built out as a cabin, with a metal roof and steel or other non-combustible exterior materials, it is a different kind of mountain structure than a wood-sided cabin. That is not the same thing as fireproof.
- We use steel and other non-combustible exterior materials. Interior finishes, decks, and anything combustible still have to be chosen and permitted carefully.
- A steel box does not make a site safe in a wildfire. Defensible space, access, water, and the local fire code still apply. We will not market these as fireproof.
- Mountain delivery, tight roads, and crane or set-on-piers work are quoted after we see the access. Some sites are not a fit for a 40-foot box.
- Zoning and building permits vary widely in the mountains. A cabin used as a dwelling is not the same as a storage container. You will need to check the rules for the parcel.
Pictures are concept renderings. No completed cabin is shown, and no fire rating, listing, or insurance outcome is claimed.
