This 20ft expandable container house offers an expanded exterior footprint of approximately 37 m². The house folds into a narrower configuration for transport and opens at the prepared site.
Plan the entry door and windows around your room layout, furniture, views, and access needs. Send YJD your destination, quantity, preferred floor plan, and door or window references to request a tailored configuration and quotation. Explore YJD’s custom prefabricated house options for more layout, appearance, door, window, and interior choices.
Start with how you will use each room. Position windows to provide daylight and ventilation, and place the entry door to create a practical route into the living space. Opening changes need to work with the frame, partitions, and folding sections.
Plan the entry location, door swing, and required clear opening. Allow room for furniture movement and access to any proposed deck or outdoor area.
Place windows around beds, seating, and kitchen cabinets. Consider the outlook and privacy of each room when choosing the glazed area.
Identify where opening windows are needed and how their operation fits the interior layout. Include kitchen and bathroom ventilation needs in your brief.
Provide reference images for your preferred frame color, door finish, and window proportions so YJD can review suitable options.

This checklist describes the choices to review, rather than a standard inclusion list. Available door and window options depend on the selected model and structural layout.
Use the following 20ft series dimensions to compare space and plan the site. Your approved model drawing defines the final dimensions.

Review openings together with the room plan. Keep door swings clear of furniture, avoid placing windows behind tall cabinets, and plan kitchen and bathroom connections alongside the partitions.
Specify room count, bed sizes, seating, storage, and circulation space. A dimensioned floor plan helps assess whether the arrangement suits your needs.
List the cabinets, sink, shower, toilet, and other fixtures you require. Identify supplied fittings and any equipment to be purchased locally.
Include your preferred wall and roof insulation, floor finish, interior colors, and exterior appearance in the configuration request.
Provide the destination voltage, socket preferences, equipment needs, and planned water and drainage connections for review.
Photos and illustrations show example configurations. The quotation identifies your selected materials, included fixtures, and optional additions.
Plan protection for glazing, door hardware, interior finishes, and supplied fixtures as part of the packing scope. Custom openings and fittings should be considered in the agreed handling and loading plan.
Prepare delivery access, unloading equipment, suitable supports, and clear space for expansion. Agree on installation responsibilities and utility connections before dispatch. For more on site access, lifting, and unfolding preparation, see YJD’s foldable house installation guide.
