Can you please give me the dimensions of the underneath channel at the bottom of the container. We are building a container and I think my boss made a mistake

[@มังกรเหินฟ้า-ญ1ป]

I live in Thailand. Containers are not commonly used as houses here. Most of them are used as temporary offices, but I will build a container house myself. Thank you for the good knowledge 🙏

[@ToGdBear]

To my knowledge, choosing to use a container as a living space is a decision not made with money in mind but strictly because it looks nice and it's a cool idea, stacking a bunch of "bricks" to make a house. Don't dive in with the wrong assumptions: It's not ecological (you should not use old decommissioned containers, at least for something you intend to be a living space), it's not necessarily economical (check your local prices and try making some estimates, then look at other options and compare), and it comes with its unique challenges (these videos contain plenty of information covering those). Container offices are popular and practical because they're easy to set up for something like a construction company with trucks on call and there are companies that produce and rent them. Container homes aren't really popular anywhere, even for making sheds and garages the typical choice is finding other types of wood and metal prefab kits, though that is not to say they aren't cool and you shouldn't try it. If I didn't think they were neat I wouldn't be here, just settle your expectations.

[@BeautifulSoulsEducation]

I have a container house in Thailand, it's perfect.❤ Only 10k to move anywhere 😉

[@HUYHAIVietNam]

hope to see your result from Vietnam i am planning to build a container house but the most challenge for me is the weather, it's so hot in summer

[@Discovery123.]

I was a welder and fabricator for a long time and I can say that this gentleman is really know what he’s doing. I wish I have a space for this container. Thanks!

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

Thank you. That means a lot given I'm a CPA (Chartered Professional Accountant) by trade and learned everything the hard way on my own alongside some great welder/fabricator employees.

[@alanmcrae8594]

A complete shipping container conversion system is, of course, the way to go if you're diy and don't have any design/construction experience. These guys have done the heavy lifting and figured out solutions to the most basic conversion needs. So glad KZbin recommended this channel as we're seriously thinking about a shipping container tiny house for our future.

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

Thank you Alan. You're a smart man! Each product is very front-loaded with engineering/design and prototyping costs. A lot of what we have developed was meant to assist ourselves in installing windows, doors & roll up doors as quickly as possible in Canadian winters with no painting required. What resulted is kits that are Do-It-Yourself worthy. I'm excited for you to watch our videos on our bolt-on double-wide kits (16'x20' and 16'x40' containers!)

[@alanmcrae8594]

i know im late for the party here, but finding one of your videos last night/ morning, and again today with this video, you sir have given me some ideas. thank you for the ideas and inspiration. now i have an idea about how i want to add a second room on to my house.

[@mltndeal5120]

I need one of those containers. Insulate it, metal-stud frame it, drywall and put a stove in it. Yep 👍 I would hat channel it. I'm metal stud framer so I HV lots of ideas. I've seen job trailers at construction sites that use modified shipping containers. Nice idea about power in to the container.

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

Hi Milton. We have a mod right now that will not be insulated but needs to be lined with plywood. We're testing out the hat channels tomorrow actually. We're capturing video of the project. Stay tuned to the channel so you can tell us what we did wrong😆 Think we can glue them with PL to the putter corrugations?

[@deadly134]

man i remember you from the den, very well put together and thorough but this just shows you care about the customer. you show exactly what you are doing and why you are doing also not stopping other DIY people from doing it. cheers and great work!

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

Thanks! I appreciate that!

[@fredericksullivan7925]

Nice work guys. I put a 4.6 m slide door in one and the roof sagged. I noticed the ridges and valleys at the header spread out so I stich welded a 50X50X6mm angle iron along the head to the inside to stop the corrugations (ridges & valleys) from speading and it worked. I set a slight positive camber in there as well.

[@dar7771]

Dang. Very impressive. Makes me want to buy a piece of land somewhere in the hills and do a shipping container with this mod kit. Thanks for sharing.

[@SafetyRey]

Literally why I'm here. Nice piece of land, a roof. Just me on my own.

[@charlesfrank7854]

Metal nibbles their like scissors great for that ,used to use them on corrugated on pole buildings.

[@garylanders1470]

In general I think that you do a great job, but I would think that finishing the cut edges of the corrugation with a primer and rust preventative coating. Thanks for sharing you knowledge and techniques. Gary

[@truthpurveyor8298]

most containers are made of corten steel that when rusted, makes a protective coating

[@dallinfreestone7841]

the window kit is great as well as the door flashing.

[@fixingscreens7075]

I love the track system for supporting desks and pipe racks etc. You could even use it with track roller attachments to a make a gantry crane right down the center of the roof of the container.

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

We have a 20'HC in our yard right now with a gantry crane down the middle using this strut system. I could do a quick video tour of it if anyone's interested. It's pretty sweet.

Well thought out process. The window process is the simplis. You guys should have classes in Missouri. Personally I prefer jean or wool insulation. And have an egress window. Over all, great video.

[@RamblingsWithDan]

Great work. I'd love to have a couple 20 footers. What is roughly the cost of one done exactly like this?

[@titi-ul3tb]

Wow. Can't believe it. Nice job. For all the things you did for this 20 ft container (windows, door, insulation foam, ...), how much one would have to pay for this alteration work ? I am curious to know since I want one.

So what do you do for a fire barrier for the foam insulation in order to meet code requirements?

[@keithprinn720]

brilliant kits for these requirements obviously from stacks of thinking and trials. great option to get your pre modded container for me.

[@davidknight717]

I really like your videos and all the input you put out there for the public. Very informative and creative. And I hate to be negative, but at about 12.45 in your video you said you would have 2 inches of spray insulation. I have built quite a few of these, with spray foam and board foam insulation. Unistrut is 1 5/8" tall, the insulation thickness after completion is definately not 2" thick, possibly in the corners, but not consistent through out the unit. I do not care about the 2" statement of insulation coverage, but is the coverage shown in the video enough? I have never had to do one by code, but Im betting you have. What is acceptible?

[@Alkihauler]

Amazing! I want to build a tiny guest house for my family to visit!

[@zachall9539]

Can you ship a container once it's all built out like this? Would you be able to haul it safely if it was full of cargo?

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

You bet. Thanks for the compliment and suggestion. I just didn't have a set in my tool belt. My pants are already getting heavy haha. A sharp knife blade would have helped too but snips are a safer option for cuts that don't need to be offset.

I believe I can build a container kitchen that will pass state county inspection, but provide a comfortable place to do my prep work and baking. One time use 20' container. Insulated and wired, propane lines fresh water grease trap and grey water, commercial sink, dishwasher, and moveable storage shelves on wheels. Refrigerator and freezer for stock storage, racks for baked items to cool, climate control, vent hood, fire suppression, oven stove top fryer prep table . Stuff that all in a 20' container, mandoor for entry, one window for seeing outside.

Hey there Channing as regards' to the square tubing that you didn't like on the cut outs, you might consider putting some holes in the square tubing and filling it with spray foam from a can, a few smaller holes on the corners will let you know when it is all filled , stop's.. the thermal bridging . I'm from Ireland and was wondering if you have any jobs going as I would love to move there permeant. The fishing rivers there look Amazing. I have loads of experience from building houses to building shipping containers , converting them them to house massive generating power equipment for the likes of google and Banks . I also made them from scratch to specifications for the client.
