Although both detachable house and flat pack container houses are mobile homes, they differ significantly in structure, appearance, and functionality.

The following is a detailed comparison of the two types of houses:

Structural Connections

Detachable house: The columns and top and bottom beams are connected by screws, making the screws visible.

Flat pack container: The columns and top and bottom beams are welded, making the bolts invisible.

Column-to-Fitting Connections

Detachable house:  The columns and upper and lower hanging heads are connected using carriage bolts. These bolts are thick and may cause gaps between two boxes when placed side by side.

Flat pack container: The columns and upper and lower hanging heads are connected using hexagon socket bolts. These bolts are invisible, allowing two boxes to be neatly arranged side by side.

Drainage System

Detachable house: Rainwater drains through drain holes around the top of the container during rainy days.

Flat pack container: Built-in downspouts allow water to drain directly to the bottom of the container through the roof gutter and four built-in downspouts.

Appearance and Neatness

Detachable house: Due to the thickness of the carriage bolts, there may be a gap when two boxes are placed side by side.

Flat pack container: Thanks to the hidden design of the hex socket bolts, two boxes will be perfectly aligned when placed side by side.

Assembly Speed

Detachable house: Assembly is relatively slow and requires screw tightening.

Flat pack container: Due to the bolted connection design, assembly is very fast, making them truly quick-to-assemble houses.

Summary

Detachable House and Flat Pack Container House each have their own advantages in terms of structure, appearance, and functionality. Detachable House are suitable for situations requiring quick construction and a limited budget, while Flat Pack Container House are more suitable for those seeking a neat appearance and quick assembly. Regardless of the type of house you choose, the choice should be based on your specific needs.
