Are container homes safe

Unless you purchase a new shipping container, investing in a second-hand one carries plenty of risks. For example, since various parties previously used them for shipping who-knows-what, there could be residue from toxins like pesticides or industrial materials. Plus, coatings used to protect the containers from the elements are intended for industrial use and may contain lead or other harmful substances.
On the other hand, their durability may outweigh the dangers associated with these massive metal boxes. Due to their materials and build quality, container homes have the potential to withstand wind speeds up to 175 mph when attached to a strong foundation.
