Container home with children: safety features to plan

A container home can be very safe for children, but steel behaves differently from timber, and some details need extra thought.

Stairs and edges

Guard rails on lofts, landings and terraces should be tall and close enough that a child cannot slip through. Use good lighting on stairs.

Windows

Choose windows with restrictors that keep them from opening too far. Keep glazing at the right height for safety.

Heat and cold

Steel conducts heat quickly, so exposed metal can become hot in summer and cold in winter. Use insulated cladding and avoid bare metal inside where children play.

Outdoor play

Fence the garden, keep water features secure and place the play area in view of the kitchen.

Plan the layout in the UnedPod configurator, and read the insulation guide for comfort in all seasons.
