Thanks for the tips for leveling the conex. I just ordered a 40 ft high cube and I’m sure this will help.

Just found your channel looking forward to seeing more as iv just got a 40 foot container I’m turning 3/4 of it into my workshop

"they're built on the piss a bit" classic dude!

I'm thinking a four x four timber, 10' long maybe, a pivot block (fulcrum), blocking of various sizes, one side up, then the other, not too high, as you said. Up two inches at a time, sturdy blocking, and won't be long afore it's in the air. Here in NW Lower Michigan, it's a good idea to be up at least a foot or so to discourage wildlife from taking up residence under the unit - especially skunks - they love living under buildings. Thank you. Blessings to you and yours.

this was really, really useful...thank you so much.

If you have two railroad ties waiting when your container is delivered you can place the container end on the first, drive forward then place the opposite container end on the second. Ties permit sufficient ventilation below the container and place the container high enough for future jacking if shimming is found useful to level the box. If you have room, buy a forty foot or longer High Cube as the little 20s are "cute" but terribly limiting and their low ceiling height an annoyance. OTOH High Cubes permit hanging heavy duty shelving (easy to fabricate) from the interior tiedown loops on the ceiling corners. If you want power the easy way is have a pole placed with an outdoor circuit breaker panel and both 120 and 240V outdoor receptacles (if in US) or whatever is standard elsewhere. I did that before building my shops and it makes the structure immediately usable as a workshop.

What do you recommend for resting container on permanently? Concrete Paving Slabs or Railway Sleepers (railroad ties)?

[@margaretpidi9718]

Thank you.👍👍👍🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬

[@koradkw2981]

hey bro, hows the container going, 3 years on ? is it still on the pavers as is ?

[@itsimplylogic]

Containers are precision made under International standards. They are never twisted or bent. If they are, that's why they have been discontinued from the "container" use.
