Top 5 Reasons to Buy a NEW vs USED Shipping Container

[@Msmaggy13-u1y]

I got a used container for $1550 last week from Wuwi Shipping Container, it was a pretty good deal.

[@Will_JJHP]

Glad I was suggested this channel. Would love to see a multi-container project in the future!

[@ThinkHarder]

i was like 315, this channel rocks, its teaching me all i need to know about my ambitious project of making myself a house out of containter, cheers man

[@wandaramos7861]

I've been studying constructing shiping container houses and found an awesome resource at Magic Container Plans (check it out on google)

[@ThinkHarder]

@@wandaramos7861 thank you very much

[@shaneheffernan2764]

[@henrybudziarski4404]

It’s good to know about a container good information I am from Australia thank you man 😃 ✅

[@cosasbellasbycarmenblanca9975]

I love your videos, I have learned many food things

[@A-Viking]

Also old containers have moved all kinds of stuff, chemicals etc, and it can be in the wood floor, Id buy only foodgrade old containers for living in, if you dont want health problems later. I worked full time inspecting containers for over a decade.

[@lancehafield555]

Thanks for making all the videos. And sharing so much info. I’m about to take on a 40’HC tiny house project of my own. I would love to talk to you before I do. I’m planning on doing the whole build myself, I have several years of experience in all aspects of the construction process and own an HVAC company here in San Diego. Could I get in touch with you to ask you a few questions before I dive in head first?

[@eduardoedelacruz2009]

Good information!! Thanks!

[@vikentijslauruts2153]

awesome videos man really appreciate it

[@peteaulit]

Have you looked into insulated containers or reefers? I worked on a project using those recently and was wondering why you wouldn’t get these instead of getting a bare one and spending money insulating it...

[@luisfernandocuestasanchez4343]

Awesome, thanks

[@RockysJourney]

Can you do a video on law and permit requirements to convert a container into home in Florida.

[@johnsonjarrodm]

raquel pryor I was just thinking about asking that!! I myself want to build here in Florida. 🤙🏿

[@ZAZMOTOR]

And in Texas, please.

[@Allaboutragnarinthevan]

This is very helpful to me . Thank you .

[@vestel777]

I'm trying to save up for 10 40 Foot Shipping Containers that are NEW and High Cubed. And the layout will be 2 40 Foot Shipping Containers put together end to end that will measure 80 Foot Long. And lay all the shipping containers that way to make it look like a normal sized home. I'm going to be using the actual Isoynene Closed Cell Spray Foam for all the walls on the inside and outside of the Shipping Containers to maintain the climate inside. On the outside I'm thinking of using water proof and rot resistant wood like Cypress or Teak as siding. One large room on the inside of the house will contain a Dedicated Home Movie Theater Room with either a 180"-290" 16:9 Ratio Fixed Movie Theater Screen with Dolby ATMOS capable Speakers and surround sound.

[@kotare86]

Steve Vestel 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@vestel777]

@@kotare86 The only issue I'm finding is I don't think the walls will be larger enough as far as wall coverage to fit between 200"-290" 16:9 Ratio. But I'll continue to see what can be done. Now as far as the Isoynene Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation on the outside of the Shipping Containers is a thought a friend of mine gave Me. He said I can see it going on inside of the Shipping Containers as insulation. But You should also do it on the outside of the Shipping Containers to make sure it's ALWAYS going to be SUPER INSULATED!!!!!! He said then just use Water Proof, Insect Repellent, and Rot Resistant Wood on the outside like siding to make it look Awesome like a log home look. Plus He said the Spray Foam Insulation on the outside plus the wood siding will hold in the noise of Your Dedicated Home Movie Theater with all the Dolby ATMOS Speakers putting off all that noise.

[@kotare86]

Steve Vestel Sounds great! I found another video that used 2 containers spaced 8 feet apart and staggered, with a roof with windows. Check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4KxgXVvo8aNh8k (I'm obsessed since seeing the design). Regarding insulation, it would depend where you live. If you put it on the inside you would reduce space, but it might be cheaper that way? I don't know. With a design where the containers are spaced apart this wouldn't be a problem though. I haven't seen an end-to-end design before. Did you get inspiration from another particular project?

[@grandpixel]

hey bros, really loving your video series... but at the moment the only thing holding me back from getting started and cutting holes is how to install a door... could you do a video on this? thanks.

[@koushikmaddipudi761]

Thanks for the information ! Great Job you guys! So, I was thinking about the last part where we can know what was shipped in the "new" container? Also, we can check on the radioactivity levels inside the container ? (in case some radio active chemicals were transported / shipped using this container.) Just to be cautious . Even if we end up buying a used container, we just need to worry about keeping the container water tight and NO RADIO ACTIVITY. We never know what chemicals were shipped in the containers. Now I need to look for instruments/devices which tells us the radio active levels ...coming to you AMAZON !

[@luisrivera1357]

Nice

[@karenrhatigan-stenland3865]

How do you find out what was shipped in the one trip container?

[@MyGreenHomeLawrence]

Greetings Mr. Madgett, Question. Availability, are used shipping containers eaiser to source than single use ones? Or its a negligible factor in FL?

[@teddiemccloudy3970]

Where can I find the beat in the beginning 🤔 🔥

[@michaelripperger5674]

How would you make sure the container wasn’t stolen? A friend of mine had one get picked up by sheriff because it was stolen. How would one know ?

[@MoonLiteNite]

a trusted seller

[@georgewu5]

I would test both the used and the new containers for radio activeness. I always do not trust the containers are completely radio activity free. Can you imagine living in a radio active steel box for the rest of your life? George Wu, AIA, Architect, NCARB 2019-10-30

[@seanconnell622]

What would you use to test it? Gigercounter?

[@corybond8697]

Can I get in touch with you about a few things? Email or call? Looking for info on location and first time builds etc.

[@nataliealtman4302]

What’s the cheapest price for a decent container? I live in Palm Beach County and PB port has more expensive ones than Miami. But still $2000

[@hehersfdgf]

You can stabilize in post production

[@sugarplumfairy20101]

Is there any way to know what an specific container has been transporting? Like a register? thats the main concern what used containers, it sucks be poor.

[@darrellm.1235]

I HAVE RESEARCHED AND TALKED WITH DIFFERENT CONTAINER COMPANIES AND NONE HAVE EVER KEPT ANY RECORDS OF PREVIOUS CONTENTS TRANSPORTED, ESPECIALLY OUTSIDE THE U.S.

[@alexzworley]

Do you ever work on the west coast of Florida?

[@tremerefury]

Another aspect of new vs used containers is chemicals. They spray chemicals to preserve some of the products they are transporting. The newer the container, the less chemicals you have to deal with.

[@johnbeam847]

What about insulated containers?

[@sarala1jan]

Since we don't know the history of the container coz some containers were used to carry highly toxic chemicals and even someone told me it was used to transport nuclear chemicals. I think new container will be safe!

How can I reach you on purchasing 5 new 20 Ft HC shipping containers.

I have been looking into this for about 5 years how do I go about finding I where I can build a contrainer house in Baltimore Md. I dont want to do it myself but I do want to invest in them

[@l.skipallen9080]

Check with your city building inspector or city planning dept. 06/16/2021

[@ALSomthin]

I bought a used one from Container One. The sides are all puffed out 6 inches its total crap the door frames are damaged they claim its only cosmetic.

[@cholesterol804]

Why not just create your own container? Purchase some hot rolled universal h beam then form it into a container with whatever dimensions you want you can go 40m long 20m wide or even 40m height i guess😂. After that weld tons of clips on hbeam web then run it with purlins as thick as you want for flooring and ceiling.

[@gaescott1737]

What is the cost difference between a new and a used container?

[@Mr.DMZ.]

used can be found for around $2k and new around $7K if I'm not mistaken

[@luisdiaz7997]

what is the price of a new and used container

[@l.skipallen9080]

The market dictates the price, with supply and demand plus how many you are buying that day.

[@matthewgeorge7247]

Mattgeorgecontainersell😊😊😊😊

[@103afs]

So there is no way to determine what was in the container even for one trip. I am thinking of nuclear waste etc. I heard that there was test that could be done. Have you heard of such?

[@SvodaiMawanise]

How are you

[@MakeitTryitDIYit]

Are you still buying containers with the cost skyrocketing due to COVID?

[@josephcacciapaglia4753]

All great points. I'm using 4 used containers for my build at the moment. I went with used containers for all reasons that you mentioned. One thing you didn't mention, is sometimes you get cool free artwork on the used ones too. You can see the sweet graffiti on mine in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3S7aXaci7SpfLM

[@weeklydoseofants587]

OK I think I'm the only one here on business reasons. My idea is to buy then let out containers to shipping businesses. I am looking for about 10-15 I just need to get In touch with some shipping companies

[@johng9562]

Shipping containers can never be justified for use as a dwelling ~ for animals maybe, but not people. Besides the terrible thermal conductivity of metal and all the insulation issues thereof, it's simply easier, cheaper, and better (trifecta of building) to build using standard materials available at any building supply store like Lowes or Home Depot.

[@RandomPlaceHolderName]

The surface area to volume ratio is also horrible which really doesn't help. Their shape is really meant for one thing, shipping goods whilst being narrow enough for legal road use.
