    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @kevinhornbuckle
    @kevinhornbuckle 9 місяців тому +17

    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.

      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.

    • @Dang_Near_Fed_Up

      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.

  • @FishFloraFowl
    @FishFloraFowl 9 місяців тому +9

    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.

  • @brianmack6285
    @brianmack6285 10 місяців тому +7

    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.

    • @billdoodson4232
      @billdoodson4232 10 місяців тому +1

      @brianmack6285 10 місяців тому +2

      @@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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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

    • @OB1kyote64
      @OB1kyote64 9 місяців тому

      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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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'_

      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...👍😎
