[@niff2966]

Good Vid. Warm in winter and cool in summer. You have the best of both worlds with insulation. One other thing i would do is paint it white inside. It would make a massive difference to your lighting.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers Fergie, yeah it's a real nice space tbh! Doesn't need the paint I don't think, it's just a storage space and ample light with the 4 fittings!

So many people forget about using story sticks when building and miss out on how much faster it makes things , loved the whole build and your attention to detail 👍

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers buddy. :) yes rods and setting out very important

[@dialarod8387]

What’s a story stick

[@BradshawJoinery]

A vertical or horizontal stick with marks for each component, the vertical one for the container would be along the lines of a line at floor level, then batten thickness, OSB, open space then ceiling height, ceiling thickness, batten, spray foam, metal... Basically a cross section drawing but just using measurements for quick reference.

[@thehazelnutspread]

Very Well Done! The only thing I'd do different is drill the holes for the wiring before I sprayed the foam so that I had more room for the drill.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Yeah good idea!!

[@lisaferrara8120]

@@BradshawJoinery Storage containers can make great tiny homes as well. I particularly liked how you planned the sheathing so that it was easy for one person to install. KZbin recently place you on my feeds, and I am so thankful for this. You are a wonderful craftsman.

[@jtr82369]

Excelleny video, I plan to do something similar and you gave me some great ideas on how to do some of the difficult things by myself. I plan to frame using 2x4's 1/2' away from the metal channel so the wood never makes contact with the metal. My end goal is to have 3-4" of spray foam (depending on the peaks and valleys of the steel) and 6-7" spray foam in the ceiling.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thats what ive done, the timbers sit away from the metal everywhere. 2x2 was enough to be honest. if you orientate them so the bow of the timber is outwards, you can use a screw throught he timber to jack it away fromt he steel sides into a straight. 3-4" is a Lot!! whats it for? the 1" ive got really makes a huuuge difference and cant imagine youd need much more.

[@jtr82369]

BRADSHAW JOINERY I figured I need 2” min to meet the r13 code, but r20-30 can’t hurt. The research I’ve done seems to push the 2” min to ensure I don’t get condensation, I’m in FL so we are humid as hell. Maybe I’ll go with 2x3s so it’s right in the middle.

[@keithhogan6997]

@@jtr82369 if you haven't already bought your materials I would suggest looking into HuberWood products, more specifically the Zip System sheathing. They have 4'x8', 4'x9' and 4'x10' standard sheets (brown) as well as insulated sheathing (green) with R3, R6, R9, or R12 ratings. I'll put a link in the next comment or you can Google it if YT zaps the link. They have a full product line that seals up tight as a drum. I hadn't thought of using inside a container, but after considering the cost of spray foam and any fitment issues with it I think I'll be using Zip myself. If you already built yours out I'd like to hear how you did it.

[@beckjumper5787]

I could happily live in that haha. Only one thing I’d change is the osb, I’d have ply but I suppose the osb is fit for purpose.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Ply would be nice, but plywood at the cheaper end of the spectrum has poor face quality/thickness so the osb is much more durable i think. Also alos cheaper

[@riboid]

@@BradshawJoinery and plywood is more susceptible to mould than osb.

I know this was a year ago, but I was wondering about what was done for ventilation. I don't have to worry about moisture so much (I'm in the CA desert), but interested in how folks are adding ventilation to the container.

[@houtslager]

Army green Huh ! seen enough of them in my day, :D nice use of the forklift to put in the ceiling plates well done, that's using yur noggin lad , get a anti theft lock box welded onto the centre stile , padlocks on the locking arms can be chopped off in seconds and any goodies inside gone in minutes, DAMHIKT ! :(( neatly done on the electrics too.

[@bowtieconstruction2326]

Looks good! As you went to the effort of insulating internally it seems a shame that the cavity is not fully filled.

[@BradshawJoinery]

It was too expensive for storage. the air cavity behind the board will help a little but the ain purpose was condensation control and to anchor the timbers in place without through fixings.

[@bowtieconstruction2326]

@@BradshawJoinery that makes sense. Thanks.

[@belsayshootingground]

I heard it’s best the cavity isn’t fully filled so that the cold air does not transfer over as easy. There’s lots of different theories out there.

[@NickFrost-t9p]

Can anyone tell me the what's the track playing at 11:35? As for the build: - What's the average winter temperature and humidity in the area you live in? - What type of foam did you use? - How thick (approx.) is the foam layer? Why have you seft a gap between the foam and the woodboads? Is this space designed for cables? Very neat, clean and skilled build, this kind of work is a pleasure to observe.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Hi, thankyou. I think it was a track from Google royalty free track but cannot remember! Winter it can get as low as -10 but only very rarely. Settles around 0-5 degrees I would say. It's a closed cell 2 component foam. The gap is because I only wanted 1" insulation. The air gap will help with insulation also, aswell as easing cable installation.

[@hrpsykolog]

Thank you for your professional work. It looks really cool and neet. I have a question about your drills. How to drill holes in the metal container. I think the metal the container is made of is very strong iron. I can see you using 2 different drills. One for the wooden and another for the container. I can not find them in Denmark (Europe), where I live. Therefore I would be happy if you could help me :)

[@BradshawJoinery]

i didnt drill into the container atall with exception of the frames on the doors, i screwed the timber frames directly to the door backs here. Otherwise i just used a screw through the timber to act like a jack pushing the timber away from the sides. See my latest video on the question and answers about the container for more info

[@adriantaylor741]

Learnt a lot including how you used drilling templates. How was the temperature after insulation?

[@BradshawJoinery]

A lot better, it’s so good compared to a bare steel box!

[@brucebonkowski7253]

I think you might want a ventilation fan to moderate temp I also found using mobile home roofing paint it reflects heat and cold and stop leakes

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks Bruce, ive had the container about 18months now, Its been a nice environment so far, i run a dehumidifier in there, not because there was a problem but im using it to acclimatize timber before use. Ill look up the paint, thanks

[@zaccollinge3328]

Grate video. How has the container been with condensation with hot and cold temperatures in and outside. does/ does not get a lot thanks

[@BradshawJoinery]

Its perfect with the foam sprayed onto the metalwork there will be no condensation. Its always different temp inside, so hot day its cooler, and visa versa. Its brilliant.

[@philcollins7701]

HI Mr Bradshaw Forget using paint on the roof of the container .I have been selling used shipping containers for 35 years and the best way to protect the roof and make it watertight is cold solar reflective bitumen paint. Apply with a roller and periodically clean the roof with a power washer that way you will prevent any corrosion The roof is the weakest part of the container so needs more care than the rest from the elements.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Hi Phil, Could you name a suitable product and application method? Is it just a one product coating or primer/bitumen layer? Don't post a link as youtube deletes comments with links without telling you.

[@Muktarthegoldminer]

Thanks for your sharing. Would you please tell me how you join the wood and metal in 8:21 of the video by drilling?

[@BradshawJoinery]

Just a wood screw straight into the timber. It then hits the steel and pushes the timber away from the steel. Do from both sides to encapsulate the frame within the steel so it holds it in the right position for the foam to set around it. If you put the timber in so any bow in the length is outwards the. You can use this method to straighten the timbers.

[@BradshawJoinery]

[@10p6]

Interesting build, but I would have put a vapor barrier between the container and insulation. Steel containers in hot and cold climates cause a lot of condensation, and the foam will trap that condensation and eventually cause rot on the lumber and cause mold.

[@BradshawJoinery]

By vapour barrier i am assuming you mean sheet plastic, please do not, plasstic will attract the moisture especially where there is air cavity/sealed. this technique i have used removes condensation from the steel internal through insulation and encapsulated the timber. The foam is also a vapour barier

[@riboid]

@@BradshawJoinery Your foam must be closed-cell then as open-cell will not act as a vapour barrier. If anything, I would maybe have a membrane on top of the insulation, but moisture permeable, so it is airtight, but any moisture happens to get in there, then it can come back out again.

Great video, do you happen to remember the measurement of the stick you used for the floor spacing in between the 2 walls? I guess that was later used for the floor too.

[@fournierluc2205]

Great video thank you for sharing. I have a few questions about your project first what is the thickness of your insulation or maybe the expected R value? What is the size of your sheet goods? Why use 18mm since it is not structural would 15mm have been enough? What are the finished dimensions?

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks For the questions, Finished insulation is atleast 25mm, thicker in the gulleys. No idea on R value, it doesnt take much heating in winter and holds changes in tempersature for days! I used 18mm for ease of mounting stuff to it later on, and also wider stud spacings. Id say it was the right choice and 15mm would have been too flimsy. I will update with another video showing finished dimensions soon.

[@RadicBros]

Loved this video! I need to spray foam my container just like you did but I'm not sure if I should hire someone or buy a kit myself. Was there any reason you got someone in, does them mixing it and spraying through their gun make it stronger or would a DIY kit hold the timber level just as effective or good enough? Thanks a lot Brad!
