This is especially useful when a larger area of ground needs to be covered by several containers rather than just one - it's also very economical and quicker to set up than a traditional marquee or booth.
The containers can be modified to include side windows and lighting. They can be insulated, and fitted with a ventilation system as well as an extremely durable flooring constructed of marine grade plywood. They also have a wide range of uses and can be altered to incorporate internal partition walls to create multiple storage spaces inside the same tunnel container. You can also use the container as a workspace or office workshop by putting in a desk and power sockets.
