I see lots of people commenting that if you're using wood, then what's the container for? I can think of a lot of uses! It's a rock solid foundation to start from! You're structure is only as good as it's foundation! If you want to build on a property but don't want to pull permits to put in a foundation, you could go this route. Not having to do dirt work saves a lot of hassle. Maybe you need to mount something super heavy on the roof, this would be perfect for that. You could put this out on a remote piece of property and have a super strong/secure little hunting cabin that could probably have a tree fall on it and survive. If you had need for a mobile office you can pick up with a telehandler, then this is perfect. If you want to bury a bunker into a hill side, this is perfect. It's a great product for some niche or outside the box thinking projects! Just because you're simple mind can't think of a use doesn't make it a bad product.
Smart man
Also wood is cheap and no welding. 🤣
Great starting point. You’re the catalyst for our ideas. Now I can insulate the container without loosing interior square footage. Thanks again.
Awesome! Knowing we're helping others makes it all worth it.. Thanks for watching 🙏
So we don't need to insulate the interior at all?
Aircrete could be used for the insulation. 🤔
I'm a metal guy too but when using wood, you should add a hammer to your tool belt to use when you need to persuade wood members to fit. Using your impact driver as a hammer could be very expensive. Living in Minnesota, any sort of structure that doesn't lend itself to being insulated is a problem. I subscribed and will definitely check out your brackets.
👍 Yup I should have one around but not interested in lugging it around.
That's why I said "hard on tools". I don't even know if we have a framing hammer in our tool crib now that I think of it haha.
@@TheContainerGuyTV I am curious if it's not "Better" to "Stud" the "High Side" of the "Waffle Skin, versus your application to Stud the Low Side (Indented) of the Waffle?
Consider running the studs up an extra foot high on one side to allow a sloped roof. A little over 1:12 slope, for panel rib metal roofing. Fire blocking at the ceiling line, and attic ventilation will also be important.
I love how you guys are always thinking and responding to new ideas based on feedback!
As a german carpenter master i can say build without a Container. No condens and your free in place for rooms.
If everyone were as skilled as you, I agree there is no need to modify shipping containers. The one argument for them is there is no concrete flatwork or foundation required and you begin with a structure from Day 1.
@@TheContainerGuyTV correct. Point foundation is the Future. No massive concrete. 1m3 concrete in germany is 220€.🙄🙄
@@thomasschafer7268 please continue to provide input on the system as I release videos. I am not a carpenter but I feel a sense of responsibility to develop a healthy, low cost method to modify single containers with readily available materials for those who are less fortunate and need a roof over their head.
I helped a friend build a container cabin several years ago and came to the same conclusion. The result was fine, but the container really is limiting. One benefit though is that my friend needs to move to a new property soon and it will be very easy to pick up the container and move it with them.
Does the temperature stay pretty regulated in this thing or is condensation still a major issue ,as with most containers and all unvented containers ???
Four thousand 400 dollars 2 do my 2 40ft containers is a crazy price. Thats without shipping 2 Australia. Will the price come down at all?? I love all your products , but struggle with the prices. I understand they are fit for purpose but we pay about 4k for a 40ft high cube.
same here
Agreed, I really like these brackets, but the price isn't realistic for me either. I get they aren't made in China, so the price is paying for Canadian materials and labour rate, but at the end of the day it's either viable or it's not.
Excellent video. Regarding the stud-to-roof connection, you could utilize a horizontal through hole in the bracket to attach another bracket that would hold the roof rafter. The rafters could pivot on the bolt to accommodate different roof pitches. This way, the roof would be attached to the container as well as the studs.
Great idea
Exactly
Yep you are right on!
A roof bracket with a height adjustment on the outer side and middle, you could roof the container and a side area (plus give an air gap between container and roof) keeps the container cooler in warmer weather. Could also catch the water containment for later use.
An adjustable angle roof would allow for maximized solar by changing the pitch of the roof / angle of the panels to correspond to the angle of the Sun due to the season. This would eliminate the need for added weight and cost of adjustable frames on top of the roof.
Nice! Exactly what I need!
Great ideas. Thanks and we'll see you next time.
1200/2200 bucks? I would have been interested in the top bracket to build an overhang for my patio but I would probably only need six maybe eight. Any chance in the future you’ll have individual pricing?
I'm pretty sure they sell the top brackets individually now
A lip that locates the foot of the lower brackets flush to the edge of the container would be a slick addition to the bracket design.
Consider redesigning that top bracket to accommodate the top plate, move those outside ears back a bit. Redesign the bottom bracket to hold the bottom plate. With the insulation you could split the sides of the batt in a few inches to tuck it in behind the stud and create a bit of a thermal break and make use of that extra width.
Good advice.
The studs should only have to support insulation and sheathing. Your container is the structural component.
Finally! Was waiting for exterior framing for ages 😅 jolly well done 👍🏻
Another option to prevent the brackets from rusting would be to use a rubber gasket or butyl tape (could use an old tire tube for the material)
Once again you guys are leading the way! Those brackets look plenty strong, perhaps thinner stock would work as well and reduce cost. I'll have to figure out how to attach a pitched 2by to those top brackets. The ven the large number of roof pitches used, I don't see anyway to make a line of brackets that accommodates them all. I guess do it as it's done on a stick built house, notch the rafters to sit on the top plate. I'm less sure of the economics of framing the exterior sides with 2by lumber, seems stronger than needed if typical siding is to be used. After all the container provides a rigid shell. But being able to side it hides less than perfect containers and no doubt allows them to blend into a typical neighborhood.
I eagerly await the insulation video, as this is a major point in a container building. Just my opinion but rigid foam is probably the optimal way to go.
Yes, I thought the brackets were well over specified. Normal joist hangers are less than 1mm thick in my experience. Plenty of material could come out of those with no detriment to the structure.
@@billdoodson4232 The other point would be that while you might want beefy brackets to support a pitched conventional roof, the 22" spacing might be a problem in high snow load regions. Local code might require 16" OC. And the rafters wont line up with conventional sheathing. Someone smarter than I can figure out how to best use these.
Easy problem to solve. See my comment above.
These are great… appreciate that you share this with us. I have gone to a competitors “Build Seminar” while I like the guy it’s interesting to see the differences in builds. I can only imagine how many people will have respiratory issues down the road due to mold issues. Not yours, so glad I found your channel.. !!
You should do a video on how to deal with the condensation problem inside shipping containers…. Location location location … sea level. / On a mountain .. heat and humidity.. proper ventilation.. cold to warm .. .. interior surfaces sweating / mold build up …. Metal containers are famous for this problem..
That is increíble my friend.🙏👍🇺🇸
I think you are a good thinker! Always analyzing, a better way to get er’ dun! Looking out for what Mother Nature can throw at ya not to mention human nature. I watched all your videos today. First time I’ve seen your projects. Starting with the 2 into 1 double wide. Well done. Only thing I think you could throw in is to quick wire brush on a small drill motor to kill off the rust mites just b4 you zinc paint. Then it is A1 Primo. Thanks for your efforts Steven Krebs
Thanks Steven!
I like the idea of the exterior bracket it would make it easier build on to the container I'm glad Canadian prepper sent me to your Channel I am learning a lot
Glad you're enjoying it. Got some cool mods in the pipeline - I'm excited to get those videos edited and released to you all. Stay tuned!
Thank you, helpful tops
Good job amigo 🎉🎉
You are killing it. Love all your development
Thanks for sticking around
Great stuff as always!
My friend I like foam Insolation. 🙏👍🇺🇸
That is ninja!
I would suggest adding an overhang on the sidewalls to keep most of the rain off the sidewall entirely. Say something in the 2 to 4 foot line. This shaded sidewall should reduce heat in summer due to direct sun on the container as well.
This is supper cool.
You can use foam board add well
Awesome you gave several options on screw holes. Personally, I’ll just use the wood screw holes.
Pretty cooo!!!
Channing, rather than drilling and screwing the bracket into the container, what are your thoughts about grinding clean and welding the bracket. Then following it up with a good primer. I hope to hear back as I am building a home out of two 45 foot High cube containers in South Georgia.
Liked and subscribed. Love this. Thanks. D.
Thanks. Good stuff to come🤘
Nice, looks like it would be easy to shim one side of the roof brackets to pitch the roof for rain drainage. Nice plate to attach fascia and you run your wiring exterior only penetrating the container where absolutely necessary.
Mate use hex head wood screws instead of the Phillips head to mount the studs,unless you need them to be flush.
Yeah the larger hole would fit a 1/4" hex head. Good call. Doesn't need to be flush
This is a fantastic method well done. Very helpful.
Nice job
------Yes, I like where you went with this video, my climate is like a marsh.
I definitely see infinite potential with these brackets. I see myself putting a culvert ontop of and these studs allow you to build a wood base for a bracket to hold a living culvert it allows for plenty of room to let cold winds to go under rather than deflection up and around and hurting the value
You mentioned those other container modders on youtube. It'd be cool to see you do some reviews of their work by editing together their vids and doing a voice over. Of course they've got a lot of footage to cover, not all of it actually building, but a lot of your fans have been learning from their experiences, and if you can make predictions about the good and bad that they've done and recommend alternatives, I think we'd enjoy that a lot, and the increased views for them (and maybe back from them to you) would help everyone.
Extend 2bys out for sofffit. Compatible with many or all rafter brackets I assume. Peak roofing vent for moisture escape.
I’m looking at getting a 20ft container to start with and I plan to build of that and build a upper level wish you guys wasn’t so expensive I’ll have to come up with other ideas until prices come down
Great video, subscribing to this site has been monumental in reducing the learning curve! Could the outer wall be done in steel studs instead of the wood?
I'm looking to build a container cabin. What an excellent option Thank you.
Thanks for watching! Good videos on this system to come
Exterior Brackets are huge break thru - thinking outside the box (container box)... LOL Easy way to insulate container & air gap / thermal break for moisture.
Agreed. Stresses me out thinking about all the mods we have to do now🤦🤦 Too many ideas. Not enough time.
Love those brackets.. while I am no expert on framing or containers.. with the top brackets.. if you wanted to push the stud in an inch and a half, I'd prefer a mounting screw hole that's further in from the end.. those 2x4 have a tendency to split if you drive screws in too close to the ends.. maybe a slightly different bracket design with a wider front post that allows you to secure further from the end...
you could predrill
😊👍if your next door neighbor is a garage building company you much have fun ragging each other.
Have you ever tried to get in touch with Nate from Canada Pepper,s channel.(Big following.)I’m sure lots of his subscribers are interested in of grid buildings.Nate has had a few videos with different companies on his channel that have different building ideas.
Nate and I collaborated on this video: ua-cam.com/video/NZYsck-4idk/v-deo.html
Can you use 2x6’s instead of 2x4’s? I need 2x6’s for insulation purposes in my state. Do you have deeper brackets that would allow for 2x6’s?
This is the way I would do it with 2x6 Then 2" of spray foam and then rockwool/mineral wool.
Nice..
Myself, I would use spray foam insolation on the outside, So if you use steel studs on the outside and spray foam and with metal siding. It should last for many many decades..
Thank you for sharing, love you're thinking outside the box..
This is exactly what I'm thinking of doing with my 20'. I want the inside to stay as is I'm just going to build a wall inside the doors to set AC, etc.
It's really awesome what you are doing. You are really giving me some great ideas. I look forward to more videos showing actual examples (even if they are just animated). God Bless 🙏
A two-floor small home built on top of a shipping like this, honestly sounds like a better idea than living inside the container itself. The container can be used for day activities like as a workshop, office, or go all the way back around to being primarily storage.
I suspect choosing to insulate externally and keeping it metal inside will make it a bit echo-y, can you confirm that?
Great video sir ,I need to clad a office container shortly and wondering if theses brackets are available to buy in Ireland ?
Great ideas 💡
Subscribed 👍🏽
Happy to have you. Great stuff to come👌
That's great! Can you design something with no thermal bridging from outside to inside or from outside to the metal? Perhaps some plastic fasteners could be made.
I really like this idea and your vids are always awesome. The cost is a little steep ... I'd like to see it about 40% less than what's posted. I'm trying to see what would be more advantageous this or using the insofast exterior kit.
Keep up the great work!
We'll get the cost down. We're working on kits now when we find time. This system is probably the way of the future which stresses us out. Don't use the insofast. Just spray foam.. similar cost and a million times better
I appreciate the response. Best of luck and keep innovating! @@TheContainerGuyTV
I'd like to see how you transition the sides to the door end and the closed end. By the way the brackets are awesome. Spray foam the outside. No having to build interior walls. Just partition walls right?
ua-cam.com/video/Y5oEXhtmLEQ/v-deo.html
I address it a bit in this video. Not the doors too much. Still haven't got there. Honestly might be best to frame and insulate right over them and not try and keep them operational. Or remove them and install a patio door set.
Maybe use a treated 2x for your sole plate? You could use treated lumber all the way around for that matter but for the bottom component it makes sense. Btw, “roof studs” are called “rafters”. Great work!
I told my wife that this is what we would do if we would build a shipping container home.
Appears you were listening as well.
Hahaha nah guys don't listen.. ask your wife
@@TheContainerGuyTV ahahah ua-cam.com/video/zJhGHFWmLDk/v-deo.html
Excellent, brilliant engineering, I have been contemplating using a shipping container to build a tiny house and this system makes it so much easier. I am also considering using a semi -trailer to build a tiny house, I’m not a builder but how hard would it be to adapt this framing technique to a semi-trailer? Thanks for your ingenuity and innovations.
Good idea. I'm surprised that more people haven't thought about using a semi-trailer.
30 years ago someone where I lived turned a reefer into a bay house.
"WONKY". That Canadian eh?! These are great.
Must be. Or Irish. Wonky Donkey
I have a question for you, I am building my home and a garage out of containers. This question is about the garage, It consists of 2 40 ft containers separated by 12 feet that will be a concrete slab. I have cut out half of one wall and am surprised at how springy it is. The boxes are supported on their ends and a concrete pier in the center. I like the idea of welding bar stock in the C channel to stiffen the floor, What would you consider to be the minimum bar stock to use. I don't plan on driving onto the containers, vehicle traffic will be restricted to the concrete slab, except maybe my lawn mower and motorcycle. Thanks and I enjoy your content greatly.
using OSB (wood) and filling from the top with cellulose wadding while using a custom tool to pack it well, what do you think about it ?
Avoid Cellulose and use blown-in mineral wool like attic insulation. Cellulose wicks moisture. Very interesting idea to blow it in. Thanks for your input.
I am going to interview my insulation guy and ask him a bunch of questions. I'll ask him about this and give a shout out to Choubaka! We'll see what he says.
-----Definitely an awning.
A buddy of mine bought a 8 X 20ft used container for storage. It cost him $1800. If it's used for storage it saves time but if you are looking to build a mini home or micro home you would be better off to just buy the wood and build one. I live in a cold climate and it needs to be insulated so you would still have to buy wood and insulation for it. Using a container would be more expensive.
100% 🎯 ... I've often wondered why anyone would convert a shipping container into a home when you could just frame the whole thing out of wood or metal and clad it in metal siding to give it the look they're after
Great !
-----Keep up the good work, I need the next steps, two 20' cons side by side with two rooms on top, then deck coming off both sides; or wrapping around.
Do you have a solution for a wall-stud/roof-beam bracket at the very ends of the container box?
I say let the rafters overhang 12-24" and install facia
A suggestion, leave the drawings up a bit longer so I can get a good gander.
Love this feedback. A message has been passed to the editors.
What about spray foam insulation? Seems like a perfect spot between studs.
Do you have a top bracket that has the ability to attach roof rafters at a rise(pitch),like 6/12 etc.
I had made a comment in the past about exterior framing because interior framing would take up too much of already limited space in the container. Thank you
Genius!
I could not find these brackets on Amazon. Maybe provide a link ??
Simpson makes lots of brackets/clips n things that work for a dollar or two a piece. I also would use powder actuated gun n shoot nails right into steel. But i just an old carpenter
How is that bottom plate (wood ) attached to the container?
I Ilive in Juneau Alaska where it rains over 100"" of rain a year and we can get over 300"" inches of snow. What your idea for a studio apartment?
Container Guy - what if I want to make the building wider than 8'? Can I still use these brackets to make a building 12' wide? Thanks. I'm more interested in building on top of the container, rather than the sides.
Very cool. Would we have to use the vertical bottom brackets in order to build a roof or could we just use the top brackets?
Can just use the top brackets but this has been asked so many times that we are going to make a "truss" bracket for this exact application. Give us a month or so.
shots fired!
what kind of lumber would you be using for those 2x4s? is borate or pressure treated wood worth the extra cost?
would it just be possible to do steel exterior studs too? i guess that defeats the purpose because people want to cut costs with wood framing and use fiberglass insulation
Pressure treated lumber is very corrosive, I wouldn’t recommend it! If you want to get more durability you could use a wood primer but the in wall space should be dry. If you’re getting condensation a dimple mat vapor barrier against the container will help to prevent moisture buildup. Then using the mineral wool insulation would be the best option other than spray foam.
ty for the reply @@OB1kyote64
they have cold galvanization spray paint I wonder if that would be any better or not?
Those brackets should work well the use of engineered 2x4 would be preferred
What kind of structure would you build on top of the wood joists to make it strong enough to bury? Asking as a citizen of tornado alley
Do not bury wood. Double up steel studs.
That is the incorrect ladder to use. OSHA violation my friend! 😁 stay safe
Rockwood and one layer behind the wood stud / end to end
I think if i was building a one story house with roof, i'd take two 40ft containers and slam them together then do this, have to have the high ceilings though. A good size room is 17x15x9ft ceilings, Probably need 18 or 19 shipping containers to do a project! Most of those are walls though, the rest would be for living space and a unground pool one for a look out tower with a jogging roof around the walls. Inside space would be for a garden the pool and family area.
Any reason not to put tape flashing under these brackets to further deter rusting?
I don't see why not. Use a butyl flash sticky tape meant for windows/doors.
You mentioned being able to essentially build a second story to your container but where is that structural load going besides the 2 through and 4 wood screws is there any evidence that these brackets would sufficiently distribute the load down to the steel structure of the container? I feel like too much structural load would just split your 2x4 without a proper bottom plate to actual hold the vertical loads that would be placed on them. Id really like to see some sort of bottom plate and gusset to screw to the solid beam under the container itself, just my thoughts id appreciate any feed back.
Love the product and would be super interested in buying, but $2100 seems really steep. Any plans for a price decrease or rationale as to why the brackets cost as much buying the container itself?
They were manufactured in low quantities and there's LOTS of them in a kit. We think the number of brackets can be reduced with a bit of change in our framing method and if we order large volume, our cost will come down. These are the "better than nothing" Beta version of the brackets at the moment. In short, prices will come down eventually.
Can these brackets hand 2x6 and 2x8?
Channing, what’s about using the current video along with the video for using 2 containers together?
My questions is: is this possible?
Never mind. I see that I just didn’t watch the entire video 🙁
You could use weld studs to hold the brackets on. Then there would be no drilling.
So wood frames outside and wood frames inside, exactly what purpose is that container for
Could I use a reduced number of brackets to put a deck on my roof?
May I suggest a better anti-rusting solution for the bottom bracket? Instead of using the Zinc coat paint, the best-of-the-best is to use an automotive coating like a 'Wax Rust Proofing' compound which may be _'POR-15'_ or _'KBS Cavity Coater'_ or one of the best being a permanent wax based coating.... _'PRO FORM PF 708-1'_
I love suggestions. Great ideas. I'll look them up. Thanks.
I'm not sure the rust there was a huge issue and I'm certain not many people who buy them will actually protect the metals. Time will tell I guess.
@@TheContainerGuyTV
In my automotive experiences, my focus is more to protecting the lower bracket rather than the shipping container itself since the gauging is super thick on the container compared to the lower bracket and it would be very easy to coat the entire bracket in wax rust proofing compound to permanently stop corrosion.
Even with galvanized metal, people think that it will never corrode, but it doesn't take much for corrosion to eat to the base metal and I've seen it a million times!
It may also seem that I'm over protecting the metal, but once rust starts, it will eat metal to the point of turning it into dust and that would be a pain in the rear to have to rip walls apart to fix a problem that should never have happened in the first place. Just my 5-cents worth...👍😎
Nice. However, I suggest you look up birdsmouth cut in your roof rafters
With four of those container I could make big projector screen for drive in movie theater.
With your brackets can you use steel studs instead of wood?
I'm sure you could, I'd probably use a metal stud on the bottom. And wood uprights.
Have any products for framing just a lean to that doesn’t involve roof pearling? And a little more cost effective?
Just got our prototype brackets today for this. Coming soon.
@@TheContainerGuyTV awesome. Looking forward to seeing what y’all have
When using a system like this, do you recommend using the close-cell spray foam inside the container, AND also insulating the outside as well to prevent condensation, or do you only need to insulate the outside?
Assume that a bathroom & kitchen would be inside the shipping container, so there would be interior moisture.
The military has utilized these for decades. You insulate the inside with xps foam fiberglass panels
@@h2s142yeah, I wouldn't use fiberglass up here in Canada. It wicks moisture to easily for one, and won't provide enough R value for another. Mineral Wool would be a far better alternative, and even then - in order to get the right R value, you would lose too much of your interior dimension.
I am well aware that closed-cell spray foam is the best alternative for insulating the inside of a can for our winter weather. However, this is a different system with exterior studs, so I was uncertain whether insulating the inside or outside or both was the better option.
@@kalanivernon7273 there is no reason to frame a shipping container
