I don't know about plastic for the framing brackets, I've been steel stud framing for over 30 years, I'd recommend adhering a rubber pad to the part that touches the shipping container (like the kind used in sound deadening when metal framing). That way, the only thermal bridging would be the screw points, no re-tooling to make new brackets, and galvanized metal brackets are just better. Also, since you are using 1- 5/8" studs, you will notice flex in the middle of the walls due to the lack of strength. Once suggestion would be to use flat bar, span it horizontally on the back of the studs & fasten it to each stud with a self-tapping pan head screw. For further strength, you could then use high-strength rubber adhesive, and squirt a dob between the gap of the flat bar & high part of the container skin. Once dry, it will stabilize the walls without any thermal bridging.

Your continuous innovations to shipping container modification technology are a huge contribution to this affordable construction alternative. (It is such a pleasure to see a builder who continues to learn & improve their methods with each build.) We're contemplating a couple of shipping container builds to house a rural homestead workshop and a science/computer lab. High humidity and 40 degree daily temperature swings in the Appalachian Mountains will make condensation & mold prevention a major concern. Steel studs & closed cell spray foam may just be the answer we're looking for. Thanks for your brilliant work sir!

It's good to see these videos and the evolution of the kits to improve keeping the moisture out, and improving the vapor barrier and not using wood directly against the sides of the container, which makes them healthier or allows for combining 2 or more containers! It would be great to have a complete kit to combine 2 containers and stud frame system including windows 2-6 windows and give prices, so we could know the complete price for combining 2 -20ft ,and 40ft containers. ( total cost for complete finished container home) I have not found this on website, but it would be helpful to know exactly what kits are needed for a complete 2 -20 ft. Combined container home.

I want to carry your full line of products in Tennessee. You should consider a formal building course, which in some ways this is, but certified builders and dealers would expand your reach. Employee a lot of people in a completely new building niche and grab a bigger chunk of the up-cycling market. I for one have decided this is what I want to do full time, it's really exciting prospect. Living completely off grid in a small house in rural setting has taught me how little you really need to be happy and sufficient. One element that would be a game changer for me as a builder would be a rain catchment system that adheres to the rim of the top of the container. I use IBC totes on my farm to irrigate, and if they are new from the mold factory they are considered potable, according to the factory I buy from. I would like to funnel the surface water into an either exterior or interior tank, such as an IBC tote. 3" of rain on a 160 sq ft surface fills up my tank with enough to fill the hot water heater, run the dump leg cleanout cycle, and fill my berkey water filter. My idea is a galvanized 14 - 18 gauge rain gutter adhered with self tapping screws into that tube at the top lip just beneath the surface of the roof with a sealant adhesive sticker on the back, or could use silicone calk, the top edge could be beveled to help funnel rain, the gutter could come in 10' sticks, some sort of end caps, maybe with a gasket or crimp on could be used to enclose the cutter. A hole saw 3/4 to 1" could provide an easy way to insert a PVC bulkhead fitting, allowing for ease of funneling the water internally. One issue I've run into in living off grid in cold climate is water freezing. If you store rain water, a ground tank solves that problem, but it's costly to install and not always an option. A tiny house I built for a customer out of traditional materials has a 42 gallon tank in one side of the loft. I just installed a float switch, solar pump controller into their shallow well and the tank fills when the switch is closed (empty tank.) 1/4" -1/2" drop over the 20' should be enough for a healthy flow. And Screen kit could be added. If it's robust could be adhered prior to transport, need only stick out 2" on the long sides. Would love something like this in helping me supplement off grid water concerns.

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

I could make custom sloped eaves to collect the roof water. Could punch a gutter guard profile into the top of it so the water falls through and the leaves/debris do not. We can laser cut/fold copper which would use the sun to melt the ice in temperate climate zones.

thin rubber gasket between the SSB and the container may be a cost effective alternative to injection molding YOUR WELCOME you mentioned Level container or insulation may "pop" what is the likely hood of insulation "pop" when you have a level container at spray and the container goes over the road?

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

Yeah electrical tape would even work just looks dirty. We might CNC a gasket and adhere it to the SSB. When you spray foam the container when it's level, it locks everything together in the correct position and makes the structure way more rigid. Then make sure it's handled correctly going forward (you can still be liberal with it - don't get me wrong..) Forklifts with long forks, toplifts, and our delivery trucks don't cause an issue.

So my question is why wouldn't you use INSOFAST 2 in 1 framing insulation made for containers instead of the metal framing that you provide? I'm not sure I understand the benefits to using metal framing if you were making just a simple container home, wouldn't you use INSOFAST instead as there's a lot less headache? or is there added benefits to using metal framing instead? If you google INSOFAST container insulation you'll see what I'm talking about. I'm curious as to what I would use if I'm just making a simple 2 or 3 connected container home as I think that the INSOFAST would save me the headache from having to do spray foam insulation and all the added cutting or screwing to steel framing or traditional wood framing, or would I use a combination of the two as you have the kits for joining containers together and making the doors and windows not only usable be more insulated? Or is this a conversation I have to have over the phone with two separate companies?

Can you please help?

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

Make sure it's level when you foam. Frame with the thicker (structural) 18 ga steel studs. Once those are locked into the foam, it'll act like rebar in concrete and stiffen up the whole assembly. Try and handle the container from the 4 corner posts or lift through the fork pockets with 8ft forks (or fork extensions). Even if it did "pop" and crack in 1 place, it's still 100 times better than any other insulation method. Spend money on 2lb closed cell foam and sleep well at night knowing you made the right choice.

Reducing heating and cooling costs may well be worth the investment. If of course it bonds to the steel of the can. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

@@douglascampbell9809 I'm in Saskatchewan - we likely have worse weather. The brackets as is allow for 2.5" of foam on the inside wall corrugations and up to 4" on the outside wall corrugations. They are meant for 2.5" steel studs across the ceiling with an inch above them so between 3.5 and 4" of foam on the ceiling. This is lots for our climates. If you lay 2" of rigid foam on the floor then install a 5/8 T&G subfloor on top, that'll help immensely vs spray foaming the underside (or do both). Having a warm floor is key. The first iteration of this bracket was adjustable and the customer had to bend it themselves. That required too much thinking which is what these are meant to solve.

I was really excited to install this kit in my 20' container, but my experience with this company's customer service has diminished that excitement. This kit ships with no instructions and while this video is a good overview of the kit, it really doesn't suffice as a step to step guide. I looked for instructions on the website, but there is nothing. I emailed customer service requesting instructions and the next day was provided with an instruction manual. Unfortunately, when I didn't receive a same day response, I begun installing the brackets going off of what I had gleaned from this video as I figured that a instruction manual must not exist, otherwise it would've be provided, right? Wrong, the next day I received an email from customer service with the instructions I had been hoping for. These instructions called for installing 5 brackets on each sidewall in specific places, placement of the studs, and installation of the caster covers. However, there was no mention of where to place the ceiling studs. Also, my kit came with 20 brackets, but these instructions only call for 10. I emailed customer service again looking for clarification and was told that I was given outdated instructions and that they now recommend 10 brackets on each wall. So here I am, going back for a 3rd time to install more brackets. For $300 these issues should be worked out and I honestly expected a how to step by step video to drop right after this one. Unfortunately that didn't happen. If you've read this far and bought the kit, I recommend reaching out to the company for the instructions and keep in mind that 10 brackets are used on each side wall. 22" spacing between studs, ceiling studs attached to the brackets not just the track. Also, the self tapping screws provided are a joke and will melt before they penetrate the tubing. Get yourself a 13/64" drill bit to drill the holes, then use an impact to send the screws in. Overall, love the products but very disappointed in the customer service.

This is great feedback. I'll personally get to the bottom of it. Not acceptable.

Why are the containers getting so expensive since there are so many of them

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

Prices are coming down in China to near pre-pandemic levels. Give it a few more months for that to trickle down to America/Europe. Early 2023 will be a great time to buy.

@@TheContainerGuyTV do you have any videos out yet of full builds from start to finish. I'm new and looking for some insight to the world of container buildings. I'm really interested in seeing what a multi- level double wide structure would entail. If you don't I completely understand, Every video on here that I've watched so far are very informative as well as educational. The way I had planned on doing it, your videos have showed me your way is easier and more structurally sound, so thank you for sharing your knowledge. As my plans go forward, I will definitely be purchasing my kits from you rather than doing a 2x4 build.

The whole package just doesn't seem cost effective for what you achieve...this is for a niche market and not the average joe who wants to convert a container into a storage shed.

[@thatguyBrettski]

If you value your labour at zero. I think it is a really intelligent approach, it works when you have to achieve a commercial outcome and offer a warranty. Or you just want easy. Price is not the only factor in construction.

The average Joe IS the niche market for shipping containers.

The framing kits are way too expensive..It is offensive.

[@PDZ1122]

The prices for your stuff are ridiculous. I know you'll say you don't make much on them, but no, we're not all stupid and we know how CNC machinery operates. All this stuff completely negates choosing a container for its relative cheapness. I know you're finding enough gullible people to sell your overpriced stuff to, but i think it's unethical.

[@BobHolster-om8rf]

ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY! BUILD EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT. SKIP THE JUNK CONTAINER. IT IS EXPENSIVE AND USELESS.

[@ZackWolfMusic]

I sure you charge $28,000 just for this container! You give good insight but would not use for your business because your prices are too high!

[@danielstroh4251]

I agree they are very expensive but supply and demand. Looks like he is selling out of stock on Amazon.

[@TheContainerGuyTV]

@@danielstroh4251 thanks for the insight everyone. Steel prices and container prices are FINALLY coming down. Our costs have doubled (or more) on everything over the last two years. We look forward to getting our prices down through further automation of our manufacturing processes and a reduction of input costs.

@@TheContainerGuyTV I just spent too much for my two one trip 40'hc's. I have to wait on the sbb for another month. Amazon says you only have one left. Will you have more in stock soon?
