20ft Portable Homes

Products

Big comfort in a small package. Our 20ft portable homes turn compact containers into fully functional living spaces. Approximately 20 feet long (6 meters), this model offers around 36m² of usable living area once fully set up, making it perfect for tight spaces or backyard additions. Don’t be fooled by the size – a 20ft unit from Ready Nest is a complete home, crafted to be cozy, efficient, and inviting.

Container transformed into a cozy small home

Key Features & Specs:

• Smart Layout: The 20ft home can be configured as an open-plan studio or a one-bedroom unit. It includes a combined living and sleeping area, a kitchenette, and a private bathroom with a shower and toilet. Every inch is optimized for functionality.
• Quality Construction: Built from a robust shipping container, the structure is engineered for Australian conditions. We add insulation to walls and ceilings to keep the interior comfortable year-round (cool in summer, warm in winter). Durable vinyl flooring, LED lighting, and double-glazed windows come standard, creating a safe and comfortable environment.
• Essentials Included: Each 20ft home comes move-in ready with plumbing and electrical systems pre-installed. The kitchenette features storage cabinets, a sink, and space for a bar fridge or small appliances. The bathroom is fitted with a flushing toilet, vanity, and efficient shower. All fixtures and fittings meet Australian standards for quality and safety.
• Easy Transport & Setup: Thanks to its compact size, the 20ft unit is easy to deliver and install almost anywhere. It fits on a small truck and can be craned or rolled into position on your site with minimal fuss. This portability makes it ideal for temporary accommodations or future relocation if needed.

Ideal Uses

The 20ft portable home shines as a granny flat for elderly parents or teenagers, a guest retreat for visiting family, or a home office/studio in your backyard. Businesses also use 20ft units for security cabins, ticket booths, or on-site staff quarters. If you have a remote worksite, a 20ft can serve as a simple accommodation unit or field office. Its manageable size and complete amenities mean you can place it in many settings without council fuss – it’s the definition of plug-and-play living space.
