you should use that header as the support for a "peaked" roof. Then you have no drainage issues . You could use the sections you cut out of each side as the metal roofing.

Great video describing how two containers become one unit. Excellent use of hardware and the supports before cutting off side panels. Thank you,and I look forward to seeing more videos from, "The Container Guy".

Possibly the best video out there about actually modifying the can. Assuming these could be high cubes, the finished interiors could look like any fine custom home with recessed lighting, HVAC send/returns and diverse wiring and plumbing options for adjacent spaces. ☀☀☀☀☀

Awesome video, but this just reinforces in my mind that using metal shipping containers outside of their intended purview is very costly and time consuming. They are great as an inexpensive and extremely weatherproof storage shed, but once you start altering their design it becomes a losing battle to make them worth their while when you can just buy a metal building kit that is 30x40 and has a man door plus 1-2 roll up doors, pre-engineered for wind and snow, and costs about 10-20k.

The company I work for use an adjustable container conector, which pulls the containers much closer together and a rubber seal is used, I like what you done

I'm retired sheet metal worker , and during years of work I build countless numerous of air units with grid of fans inside ,cooling and heating coils and filter banks frames. They've been build usually in mechanical rooms at highrisers of Chicago and O'Hare airport. The usual size of each unit was 16x30 feet ,12feet tall. They've been build on spot , on 4 or 6 inch tall curb slab . Depends on order , I was using 2" or 4" insulated panels , mostly 2 feet wide , 12 feet tall made out of heavy gauge galvanized sheets with exception on stainless steel insides for cooling coils. Corners were maid as one 6x6 or 8x8 pieces. Connection of panels was usually male/female type or with also prefabricated H channels. For roofs I used the same type of panels. All together was extremely sturdy, and airtite what can proof that even with doors installed I've been testing it up to 11-12 inch of water gauge. Now , I'm looking on this trailers with wall thickness, I can probably cut it with offset snips , 5/16 screwdriver and hammer for starting point ,where to deliver it to the point of destination, someone have to destroy trees and landscaping on my lot, and for the price , I think, I can order panels I've been using ,even with stainless steel skin on the outside for rust proofing and carry them on feet from delivery truck to the point ,where I'm going to build it. And because it's Florida, I can easy use it as a bunker in case of hurricane

Yes! I loved how you put those two together! For me, I'm thinking one 10' with one 8'!

Great video. Thanks for getting into the nitty gritty part of joining containers. Most container advocates lie or conveniently skip over the fact that the walls are part of the container's structural integrity. I pursued the container thing for years, but once I did the research on all of the costs of reinforcement and dealing with the headaches of working with metal, it was just easier and ultimately cheaper to deal with stick-built.

Good man! Thanx for all details!

Thanks for the great info! About to start our shipping container barn project up in Idaho and appreciate the video!

Love the design. Great explanation of the floor sagging without the added plates.

It's really nice to see somebody in a company that really knows how to improve something for their customers get a better quality product I definitely going to keep you guys in mind

Thank you, i am finding this most informative

Use the cut out side walls as roof between the 2 containers and fill in the end gaps and double the square footage. One could also build a utilities room or wrap around porch or entrance roof as well.

video molto istruttivo! spiegate molto bene i punti cruciali fino ad arrivare a dettagli ai quali inizialmente sembrerebbero superficiali, ma che in seguito diventano molto importanti. ancora bravi. grazie ;)

Exactly what I needed to see. I'm drawing up plans for a container home and want 2-40"ft containers as a base and 2-20"ft also side by side on top. Glad you posted this so that we can see the room side. Great living space.

Your attention to customer service by making it as easy as possible for the customer is extraordinary. How you're always looking to make your designs better is amazing

Great product, thanks for sharing.

Great presentation!!! Learning more about container homes. Would you consider doing 5 - 40' x 40' containers together with open concept ? It would help so in knowing how to connect them , roof or no roof, how to handle the span support inside.
