Description

Fold out houses create a wider usable floor plan by folding their side sections inward for transport and opening them at the installation site. This 20ft expandable container house is based on YJD's standard double-wing configuration, with layout and finish options for residential, guest accommodation, and project use.

Its reference expanded footprint is approximately 5.90 m × 6.27 m. The folded transport width is approximately 2.20 m. Use the dimensions below as a starting point for site and logistics planning; the approved drawing and order specification define the exact configuration.

Options for Your Fold Out Container Home

Configure the house around the intended occupancy, climate, local electrical requirements, and project budget. The following items are options rather than a promise that every unit includes them.

Room layout
Choose from open-plan and bedroom-based layouts; the final plan determines partition positions and usable room dimensions.
Insulation core
EPS, PU, and rock wool are listed for the sandwich panels. Select the core and confirm the relevant panel specification in writing.
Doors and windows
Discuss alternative frame materials, glazing, window positions, and door style against the approved elevation drawing.
Interior fit-out
Bathroom, shower, cabinets, and floor finishes can be specified according to the project scope and quotation.
Electrical adaptation
Share destination country, voltage/frequency requirements, outlet type, and any applicable project standards before production.
Exterior details
Color and selected exterior features can be discussed; confirm whether any pictured deck, canopy, or accessory is included.

Fold-Out Opening, Delivery, and Site Planning

In transport configuration, the side sections are folded inward. At the destination, the unit is positioned on a prepared, level support base and opened according to the supplied installation instructions. The actual lifting, unfolding, fixing, and utility-connection steps depend on the delivered configuration and site conditions.

  3. Approve the written scope: check dimensions, drawings, included items, packing/shipping responsibility, lead time, and any destination-specific requirements before production.
  4. Confirm payment and production: accepted payment method, currency, deposit or milestone schedule, bank fees, and balance timing should be stated in the approved quotation or sales contract.
