This Massive Container Canopy Was (Almost) Easy To Build

[@billyhorton5779]

Similar to what we used at Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan but without the prefabricated truss setup. Actually lived in a container, complete with a mini split air conditioner back in 2010-12!

[@gpc4365]

How about pushtoons I think talibs and u both chilling ❤

[@johnsmith-xr6qy]

You did do it 100% correctly. Where the end wall instructions said "inside" this means inside of the building. Yes placing the cover on the container would have made the pull easier. You guys are doing a great job. I sold & installed these for about 10 years. I enjoyed watching someone else do the work for a change.

[@rogerbettencourt9654]

Very well did guys. That is a good amount of space.

[@missklibs3257]

I am so glad to see Dan is back!! So,.I was a tech writer and would stand up in the training sessions talking about the instructions that are sent along with the product and would say that piece of paper all y'all toss out. Had to giggle when Mark mentioned that is what Dan does!!! I highly doubt that as all of you are so friggin' smart about how you work. Your teamwork really makes your dreams work. Keep it up and have a good dang day!!!

[@MAGAMAN]

As my dad would say, "if all else fails, read the directions".

[@TBJK07Jeep]

Might look at replacing those zip-ties with Black ones. The white ones don’t typically have UV stabilizers in them. The black ones usually are UV rated. Had the same black zip ties holding my Jeep grill on the front of my Chevy Express 3500 & Transit 250 for years. They last the full lease of the vehicle (6years). The Jeep grill has seen better days though.

[@carolewarner101]

I hope that webbing used to strap the roof tarp in place is UV protected. The webbing on my trail cameras disintegrates every couple years or so! Well done guys.

Nice One SWI Team Handy storage Thanks again

[@SummitAggregates]

**Guys --- having bought a handful of these from Ritchie Bros at the Denver sale over the years...and installed them at the windy climate of Kremmling, south of Walden...we've found now...buy the ones twice as long as what you're wanting...and fold the ceiling in half...so it has two layers...and they last A LOT longer...our first one, lasted three years in the extreme windy winters here --- this one now...is going on five years...doubled over, and showing no signs of weakness --- FYI --- we hung ours with a 200 LC Deere hoe, a manlift and a Lull telehandler...and lots of people...and then framed in the front with a 14' garage door in the front, rehung from a teardown on the original CDOT buildings in Walden we tore down years ago...(Just our experience...might help someone else. Also...we secured to concrete blocks on the sides instead of containers.) Great video...lots of learning for sure!!

[@I_Am_Your_Problem]

Good info. You address exactly what my question/concerns are for the states abusive weather.

[@Morndenkainen]

Should have got the wider ones that go to the outer wall of the containers. You could have used the tops of the containers as covered storage and you wouldn't have to worry about water leaking in, in heavy rains. Know a few guys that have done this, all of them wish they'd taken my advice and gone wider within a couple years.

[@nunjjang1]

Good idea

[@MickH60]

I've just helped a friend do exactly that, there's now about 30 motorcycles on the roof of the containers and we fitted a huge mezzanine floor too, all undercover....👍

[@Over65Retired]

Looks great

[@aaronschinlaub9704]

You should do a breakdown video of how how much everything cost you to do this

[@newenglandman2413]

That came out beautifully. Gratefully, non-Mark narrated and explained; it was a bit shocking to see Mark himself do something other than hog the camera and blah-blah on and on about himself. It's also the first time I've seen a Bobcat used to nudge a container. Nice job, all! What concerns me is now long that friction tape and those zip ties will last in the wind and weather. Those materials tend to get brittle eventually after heati9ng and freezing. I can imagine these reaching fatigue at some point and the entire skin blowing off. Praying that doesn't happen for a few decades.

[@mlj6419]

I have plans to do the exact same structure,. Thanks so much for the video. Looks great.

[@SWiFence]

Go for it!

[@Andrew-vh5er]

Are you getting permits? My county requires permits supposedly but I’ve also heard that they are not required since its technically not a permanent structure. I’ve never gotten permits for anything before so I really don’t know and I really want to build this.

[@mlj6419]

@@Andrew-vh5er No permits because it IS a non-permanent structure.

[@Andrew-vh5er]

@@mlj6419 Thank you very much. That is reassuring. I thought that was the case and wondered why I wouldn't get a straight answer out of the building department but its not like you need to get permits to place a container or two on your land.

[@Nova-m8d]

That's nice but how many years is the tarp rated and what's the tarp replacement cost? I know the sun is brutal on tarps, it literally turns a tarp to dust.

[@uneetudiant]

Great job , I would have lifted the top canopy on to the container the opened it and pull it across the truss , good well done .

[@SWiFence]

In hindsight, I would've as well. 😄

[@thomaswakefield6889]

So where's the link to the trusses and canopy systems?

[@trackmader]

Judging by the holes in the end plates its designed to be bolted on... i like it

[@TimothyHuntC]

I bought a twenty foot (length and width) a few months ago. Designed to bolt onto the container. So far has sustained 70 mile an hour gust and heavy rain down pours. Paid $1899 delivered. Two man job.

[@patrickday4206]

I could foresee snow load problems in high snow areas with this maybe if it went to the outside edge but wet snow could be a problem but it's cheap so losses shouldn't be too much.

[@landmarkcreations1183]

What an awesome video! Team GSD does it again 💪

[@jshmow1]

How did you strap it to the back with the Fram on the inside? It makes more sense the way you did it just wondering.

[@notsure6182]

do not buy a cheap chyna one with single tube truss. I charged a customer a large amount to place leveled lockblocks and affix a tent to it only to have a freak ice storm knock it down within months.

[@matievski1]

How much did that cost with the delivery?

[@zoundstreetop]

What’s your wind speed up there? I am concerned that our winds would literally rip the weld off the containers, but maybe not? (We build to 137)
