How To Make a HUGE Shipping Container Garage or Home | DIY Kit Updates
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- Finally! We have a follow-up for you on our double-wide kit from our popular video here: • Connecting Two Shippin... There is absolutely ZERO welding with this kit 😂.
The first step to any project is the foundation. I'll cover how to pocket a concrete slab to best distribute the snow-load, live-load, and static-load to the earth. Screw piles and I-beams are also a great option as a foundation for non-seismic zones.
I'll cover how to convert two 40-foot shipping containers into a double-wide but also touch on container-based structures as wide as 40' (1600 sq ft).
Currently, the kit is quite expensive to manufacture.
It doesn't fit the budget for most people who are interested in it. This summer, we will work on alternatives to make an affordable option for the DIYer that removes all the thinking and allows you to handle the structural aspect of the build. Stay tuned for a follow up video on our testing.
Hope you learned something!

Outstanding content. I'm a retired architect and was an architecture professor for many years. Excellent presentation of the engineering problems associated with joining two shipping containers together to make a larger building. I really appreciate your illustrations and demonstrations. The fact that you are upfront about the complex issues involved is a breath of fresh air. The modular / pre-fab building arena is full of charlatans and frauds. You have clearly been doing this for a while, and understand the issues, and are working to solve them in a methodical, practical way.
You've earned my subscription. Keep up the good work.
Two 40' containers (40x40 footprint) with a roof straddling the containers and garage doors seems like the best use in a container building. What a phenomenal workshop/garage and I would think it would be fairly reasonable.
cant wait to use it on my next build great work CG
The 40x40 is a basic build I think a lot of farmers and ranchers will be interested in. I know it would make life much easier for me.
I really LOVE some of your designs for 4+ container homes. Please make more content like this, if you can. You’re creativity and experience is so valuable
Dude thanks for all the work you put into these video. Love how you explore ideas and share them with us. I have a container and I'm going to build a cabin soon.
thanks for always having great content, love your container ideas.
I love the concept. Using locally-sourced LVLs sounds like a good solution for shipping, as well as potentially using multiple containers end-to-end.
Also, your accent reminds me of Red Green, so thumbs up there too.
😂 I've heard that before
The idea is great. The fabrication and shipping look to be a hassle though. Have you considered capitalising on your idea but reducing fabrication by basing the flashing concept around a U (universal/I beam)? The U beam will be available local to every build in full length which would cover the strength and span of the joiner and your flashing is the connector that could bolt through the beam web.
I like the 40x40 container concept towards the end. I hope it goes through. I would like to do something like that so that way I could purchase the necessary things from y’all.
Excellent video and very exciting stuff!
You guys are taking recycling of old containers to a whole new level with your tools, processes, and techniques.
Great job and look forward to the next video(s)!
Thanks and God bless America

You've done it again, two job boxes while prparing for home and workshop!!! If only your products could be purchased in bulk at a container depot near us... thanks for your innovation!!!
Great job guys.
Not even a minute in lmao
Thumbnail : "No Welding!"
0:51 : *So we started welding*
cool video none the less
Immediately followed by 2 examples of how to accomplish the same thing without welding.
@@fbtippmann fair
you can get a metal building for cheaper, the benefit of a shipping container are when you can buy them cheaply and DIY the rest, even then a metal building will be cheaper with more square footage and a taller ceiling for anything but 1-2 shipping containers
plus, even 10 or 12 feet wide is much more useful than eight feet, in my experience.
感恩了解，謝謝分享！
Marvelous video 👍
Insulating, from the outside now we're talking.
George Davis
I'm watching because I want a set up for my residence 😮😊😊😊😊
Nice to see your showing a triple wide in your video now. But no information on your webpage.
Look into stone or concrete pavers for solid flooring minus pouring concrete. Even bricks.
Just got the new composite SSB's for two 40' and I'm so excited! I've been waiting for these. They look slightly different than the aluminum version. Can we get a video explaining and showing the changes please?
Hey Daniel. Thanks for your order. I'll try and snap some pictures and make a community post at bare minimum. We can also email you some guidance but they're identical in function. Screw them into the track and top 60mm tubing and start framing! Congrats on having one of the first "Yeti Cooler" building envelopes.
Could you do a bridge crane between 2 containers for a workshop?
Yes - OUTSTANDING : o ......
Lots of cool things you can do with those containers. I'm curious if you have ever put one underground as a base for a shed or shop? I am building a 12' x 24' "garden shed" in my architecturally controlled community and I thought maybe I could add a container under it for more storage, set completely in the ground and then add the new shed over it. Any thoughts? Just over here in southern Alberta. Cheers.
Nice Awesome 🤩
They make cargo trailer storage units can be stored in container for security and access to shop floor.
Two question... This is earthquake proof??? It´s because I live in Chile🇨🇱 and we have a lot of earthquakes 😩 … Thank you so much... Your work is impressive ✨👌🏻✨
What's the hurricane rating for those? Could you get that insured?
very good content, do you guys sell the design plan?
Thanks for a great video.
Comments. What to do with the side wall that is cut out. It would be great to have a pitched roof.
Possibility. Cut sidewall out in one piece. Lift entire sidewall onto roof(this is a challenge for someone to figure out). Attach one end of sidewall to top of truss, other end to opposite corner of container. Now have free, strong, durable, pitched roof. Repeat with other container.
the wall on the roof would stop short of the outside edge of the container every time. Do you correct for that? Do you remember Pythagoras's Theorem? Is there a conflict?
Hey how are you ,why don't you make timber reusable crates at your longest length to stop damaging your ends . That way you can fit any size in the crate and it will arrive safely and return to use it again
What would the cost comparison be going to the container build compared to a traditional pole barn build for a shop?
I'd like to know if i remove roof and sides is the floor strong enough to span a creek and drive equipment up to 15,000 lbs.
How practical would it be to combine a mobile home/manufactured home with shipping containers to get one of those garages with an apartment above it?
Sounds like it would be cheaper and almost easier to learn how to weld lol.
Love the work though.
Most people are doing this to make full time living homes. And homes have sewage pipes. If there's a solid concrete flooring then how are they able to run sewage pipelines into the ground without cracking, weakening or damaging the concrete flooring? Maybe make some kind of attachment that goes into the floor before the concrete is poured and it allows the pipes to attach and rin through as intended. just an idea
Amazing!
Random, rookie question:
How does the homeowner fasten into the walls heavier things like TV brackets? Or lighter things like frames?
They got those brackets on their site to hang strut or steel studs
Very well done to the container Guy , ? Is it possible to make a helicopter hanger out of containers?
100%
Just use our portable platform
Hey im interested in a kit to bolt together a 40x40 as mentioned in the end or a open span of even 20ft considering each container is 8/9ft so you would be like 36 x40 or whatever. A kit and shipping though thats probably the killer so idk im in Idaho.
You show in the picture opening and the description for the video post that putting two containers together yields a 40'x40' space? Not sure how that works as a container is only 8 feet wide which would be 16 feet wide not 40'.
What is the estimated cost in developing this into a passive or net zero barndominium home?
There are a million variables there.. Probably $250k to $1 million depending on the person / climate
Hell ya
What is the incentive to build a container home?
if you have easy access to cheap containers
Because the turn around on a project is much faster. Because with containers it could be a solo build, too.
Second one?
My only question, why?
Agreed. Buy a steel building
Because it's fast and cheaper
@@Trumptrain2024FJB how much does it cost ? I’m actually not certain it’s cheaper from my experience
@@Trumptrain2024FJB It’s neither and you get a worse product than just buying the size you want. You can’t buy a new container so right out of the gate you’re getting a less than perfect starting project.
The state of Indiana doesn't allow shipping Containers for homes.
Why don’t you allow customers order online and respond to emails or phone calls?
Weld a I beam to tie them together, daa
😂😂😂😂❤
Or you can just build in the traditional way and save yourself a ton of headaces.
Redundant title.
Your thumbnail words are WRONG. There are no shipping containers that are 20 foot wide!!!
I SEE NO USE IN DOING THESE RUBE GOLDBERG PROJECTS.
WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU SPEND ALL THE TIME AND MONEY ON RECYCLING THIS JUNK.
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT? THIS MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.
