Man Builds Amazing DIY Container Workshop | Start to Finish by

Tanner Benheim’s journey is a testament to the beauty of combining passion with craftsmanship. As an ardent surfer, Tanner’s life has always been intertwined with the ocean’s rhythms, the thrill of riding waves, and the artistry behind the perfect surfboard. His recent project of transforming a shipping container into a surfboard shaping bay beautifully encapsulates his love for surfing, his skills in hands-on building, and his creative spirit.
Driven by this passion, Tanner envisioned a dedicated space where he could channel his love for surfing into creating custom surfboards. The solution came in the form of a shipping container - an economical, durable, and versatile option. Purchasing a one-trip container for $4,900, Tanner saw beyond the cold steel walls and imagined a vibrant workshop where dreams would take shape.

[@plumbobmillionaire6246]

I used to build out seacans for construction site offices, workshops and tool storage, also did a bunch of tiny homes too. I always put a door or large opening window at the opposite end of doors for emergency egress. I would also cut in a 16”x16” opening at the end and put a vent that can be changed to put an a/c unit or extractor fan or just for cross venting. Those insulation panels are great. Looks like the plastic ribs are 16” on centre? Cut your first sheet of drywall so that all the edges of the board land on the joint and can then be screwed at the edges so your tape doesn’t crack

[@ranger178]

[@JeanPaillard-to1hx]

No windows needed. Windows are weak spots giving robbers an easy chance to enter and rob very expensive tools, materials and boards when no one is around. A shop is not a place to go in to look outside. Lots of jealous ignorant jackasses here trying to sound intelligent. This shop is PERFECT in all aspects and the naysayers are imbeciles who probably have a hard time trying to sharpen a pencil let alone even having 10% usage of any skills.

[@MrVinced1201]

Tanner, I love the shop you built. I love the styrofoam that you used for your insulation. I am thinking of using conex container boxes to build a small second home with shop and I had been looking at spray foam but now I will have to take a look at the styrofoam like what you used. The only thing that I would have recommended would have been to run your electrical in the valley of the container and cover it with your styrofoam and drywall making it all inside the walls. Since you are limited on space I would think that you would like to keep the walls clean giving you as much room inside as you can get since you are working on surfboards. Either way, you did one hell of a job. If you make any updates to your new shop I hope you post another video!

[@XxgoodbudsxX]

If you knew anything you know this video is absolute bunk. He glued styrofoam to the walls and screwed drywall to the styrofoam this is going to fall down all over him he's not actually going to live in this or do anything with it it's not even livable. The electrics terrible this dude's fake

[@MrVinced1201]

@@XxgoodbudsxX I know plenty and I wish people would do some research before posting. If you would have watched the video you would have known that it was never meant to be lived in and It was a workshop for surfboards. Just because you might think it is bunk what make you an expert on styrofoam panels? My guess is nothing. If you would have spent just a little time doing a little research. Instead of bashing someone. Then you might have known that the styrofoam panels are made by InSoFast and they have built in studs. Also they used Adhesive(Loctite PL Premium) not glue but from your original post I would guess that you would consider them to be the same and not understand the difference.

[@ronb6182]

Yes people think they know it all when they know crap. I don't think the drywall was screwed into the foam it was into the solid part of the structure. That's what I would have done but I'm into a wood walls no seaming. But what he did was good. 73

I would say, this man understands exactly what he’s doing, he knows a lot more about peel and shear strength than the people making negative comments, these are manufactured load bearing composite foam panels, not old bits of packaging material, with a solid skin they’re incredibly strong and have an excellent stress to weight co-efficient, these are used in construction of walk in cold rooms, and if these people actually read the captions as well they would also realise that his fixtures are actually bolted or riveted to the container walls as well 😊 - Julie

Actually, this guy was doing so well until he built the frame for his sliding door wrong. Basically two King studs instead of a King and a Jack stud to set the header on. He doesn’t know framing.

[@TheElPescador]

​@@frankiek2269 no he didn't. None of what you're saying is necessary. It's a steel shipping container. The framing for his door is not going to carry a load. It's for installing the door and nailers for drywall. I personally would have framed it in a conventional manner. At the very least double 2x4 header. And at least a trimmer under either side of the header. But his framing is fine. It's gonna last a long time. He's probably not going to be in this shop long. Especially if people buy his boards. He's gonna need a lot more square footage.

[@adhithyasodhi3203]

Good on you for all that hard work, a few things to look out for - their needs to be an air gap behind the insulation (about an inch otherwise condensation will build up on the inside steel face. Need air slots/vents with vermin mesh @ high & low levels to ventilate the cavity. Structural ply would have been a far more sturdy & durable lining material. Can't really support benches/shelves securely enough on plasterboard. Great idea for a secure shop, hope it works out well for you

[@Marcel41021]

I think that when moving that container around many of those drywall seams would crack.

I saw no grounding rod to ground the electrical service.

I built a conventional prefab storage shed in my backyard. I made sure it was the legal 5 ft. from the fence because good relations with neighbors are important to me. I even painted a faux window on the back to make it look less like a blank wall from their side. If somebody put a conex box right next to my fence I'd be upset. .

My son wants to do this. However, as an actual work shop he said the container walls are much safer as they are fire and spark proof. Apparently we are going to insulate it from the outside. He said basically a simple shed over it. Though I like the idea of framing in a door for natural light. Rather than cutting windows which are a weak point for people breaking in.
