Hanging out with Hacon: meet our youth container
Steel shipping containers can take a beating. They are naturally vandal-proof. And where does that come in handy? At a youth hangout, of course! That's why our clever production team has modified the ideal youth hangout with a shipping container. After all, you can fit anything in a container! We would like to introduce you to JOP, our 20-foot youth container.
A safe meeting place for young people
Young people need to be given space. Preferably their own space. That is exactly what Hacon's youth container has to offer. Our youth container is specially designed as a youth meeting place (YMP).
Our JOP has a lot to offer. The container measures approximately 6 meters x 2.5 meters, giving young people the space they need. The JOP Container contains benches for chilling out, and steel tables and waste bins can also be placed inside. This gives young people their own safe and dry hangout spot, and bus shelters and shopping centers are no longer overrun by loitering youth.
But the youth container is also well designed from a technical point of view. Made from a robust 20-foot container, this meeting place is not only vandal-proof, but can also be adapted to the client's wishes. This applies to both the color and the interior. Furthermore, JOP is equipped as standard with a wooden floor, ventilation grilles, and double door locks. Optionally, the container can be equipped with electricity. And just like young people, the JOP container is also nice and mobile. Thanks to the insertion holes, the container can be easily moved with a regular forklift truck.
From nuisance to overseas (container)
The origin of the JOP container is one of necessity and innovation. Municipalities throughout the Netherlands struggle with nuisance caused by loitering youths. These young people need a place to get together, make music, and just be themselves. Instead of ignoring the problem, Hacon Containers came up with the solution: the JOP container. By placing these special containers in outdoor areas, young people get their own place, far away from areas prone to nuisance. This allows them to do their thing in complete freedom, without disturbing the peace in the municipality.
Popular with municipalities, approved by young people
The JOP concept has been a resounding success. Dozens of youth containers have now been produced for various clients throughout the Netherlands. And the best part? Young people love them too! Demand for these special containers continues to grow, particularly among municipalities, youth centers, and sports clubs. We are proud to be able to give young people a place of their own and to meet the needs of our clients.
