Ive seen houses made out of them. This year, at the beach, some company put 2 back to back and then gable roof trusses. Covered the trusses with some kind of grass thatch. It looked good. They were renting paddle boards out of it.

Thousands of those sea containers around, they leave them here apparently after, as it costs too much to ship them back.
Great secure storage, lots being sold, usually the dealer has a truck to move them, you set up a base to sit it on.
Quite a few guys buying two, spacing them 20-24ft apart, then putting a truss roof over them. So you then end up with a covered open area plus two locked metal storage containers on each end.
South of here they have stacked and renovated a few into apartments, that have passed code.

They actually built large apartment building in Burks Falls out of these.

It was an interesting project and they actually work pretty well. I helped a friend move into one of the units.

Shipping container buildings is something I'd love to get behind. Most think of a corrugated metal box, but there are so many things that can be done with them. (housing or utility buildings)

Good posting Gearhead. Interesting stuff.

Not sure of the interior dimmensions of these containers, but 10?? years ago i ran across a guy that had bought thousands of lengths of planking from containers, (thay have multiple levels in them for stacking items that cannot get crushed if stacked too high.)
The planking he bought was all good quality 2x8's and the pile i bought was 7Ft-4in.
He was selling them for $1.00 each, a good buy.

You can get 8' or 9.5' heights x 8' wide. All of the ones I've seen have a wooden floor, the rest is steel (Corten steel, which has better corrosion resistance than mild steel)

the 8' x 40' (and up to 53') makes it difficult to create a working space inside, but when you slice and dice, stack and arrange, there are tons of possibilities. For instance, a single 8' x 40' x 9.5 high container is useless as a shop. Cut it in half, set them side by each and remove most of the walls between them with an inclusion of an I beam and you have a 16 x 20 shop. (or 16' x 26.5' with a 53' container)

While not most people's idea of a shop, it provides a hardwood (assuming) floor and indestructible shell that a tornado can never flatten. strap it out and insulate or sprayfoam, add a truss roof for looks and cover the exterior with siding or board and batten...passers by wont know the difference. Cheap space...if your local building dept will allow it

Agreed, and i have seen some in this area used for storage, that were simply placed in the back, and were painted a nuetral colour to the surroundings, (a dark green one comes to mind,) set in amongst trees, hardly notice it is there.
Of couse the city dwellers are SOL on this with such small properties, but anyone with room that requires a lockable , and fire proof storage, these containers are great.

i am looking for another one now. the prices will vary quite a bit so be patient. they are the cat's ass for good dry rodent free storage. i get ground hogs living under it. no big deal as it keeps my eye sharp for the deer hunt. lol per sq.ft. you couldn't build it.
" Cheap space...if your local building dept will allow it" prime ag again.

 

anyone stumble into another 20ft er at a reasonable price i would be interested.
