Product Overview
First published in 2005, and read by thousands worldwide... Intermodal Shipping Container Small Steel Buildings is the original do-it-yourself container building manual. Includes photos, diagrams, plans, and more. New and used steel shipping containers are available worldwide... it's easy to buy containers and modify them for use as workshops, garages, cabin homes, guest houses, super carports, RV - 5th wheel covers, and much more (the book shows how). Containers are water-proof, and ready for use upon delivery with very little set-up required. Minimal amounts of extra building materials (optional; for interior framing, insulation, paneling, windows, etc) can be used to 'fit-out' your container building. Steel shipping containers are designed to survive in the harsh environment of the high seas, constructed of tough 14 gauge corrugated steel, with 7 gauge tubular steel frames. One and a half inch thick marine grade plywood floors, vandal-proof locking steel doors, water-resistant welded seams, and all weather paint are just a few reasons why these boxes make great land based buildings. Choose from one of two common standardized sizes: 20ft or 40ft long, by 8ft wide, by 8-1/2ft high, then stack or set units side by side into one of many building configurations. Enjoy a building that's up to fifty times stronger than most structures, built quick and with amazingly little labor. Take part in the shipping container building revolution with the worlds first book on the subject... Intermodal Shipping Container Small Steel Buildings! Soft cover.
