I squared it up by using a come-along to pull it tight to shop after the photo.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

12 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hah, well, my baby has been stored for the last 5 years since I've had her in a carport in the Pacific Northwest. Not ideal but it is what it is and she was kept bundled up but now I have a nice, dry, rodent free storage. My brothers company is moving to Florida and left this behind for free. 10'x25' shipping container. FREE! All I had to do was get it transported to my house about 30 miles away. Permanent ramps are next but I got her put away for the time being. Not bad for about $800. I'll put cedar siding on the street side and back so the neighbors don't have to look at a container and I have a perfectly dry storage and additional space for other goodies. A roof and inside insulation when time allows is next. I squared it up by using a come-along to pull it tight to shop after the photo.

POST 2Original post

That is awesome! I�ve seen some pretty cool garage builds with containers.

POST 3Original post

Here's to living in an area where your building and zoning dept. isnt staffed with meat puppets.

POST 4Original post

I'd just bury it with a couple of loads of top soil and then you would have "The Bat Cave".

POST 5Original post

Those aftermarket lights look mean on that car. +1

Unfortunately the roofs are very weak on shipping containers. The corner posts carry all of the load when stacked. Even walking around on top of one makes it obvious how thin the metal is.

quite honestly I did not even check, but I plan to have it covered by fencing that won't show it too much, lol......

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It's an ugly shipping container but I'll make it look good by spring. Now I can get it under Haggerty insurance for 'real value'......

Seriously. I can't even put a carport on my driveway without getting a letter. A whole shipping container as an extra garage space is a pipe dream for me!

POST 11Original post

2-3" of 2lb medium density spray foam will go a long way in that, will eliminate condensation dripping off the roof and help seal holes. Won't eat into interior space like conventional and wont wick moisture up from the floor.

can this be a diy project or pay someone to do it right?? PM me if you know the secrets and I'll give it a shot Foam boards may be more economical and do the job, maybe...?
