@Realmorpheo @ALPal5000 Our roof brackets support horizontal timbers (and other material) along the length of the container, you can use these either side of a lap joint or similar to join 2 long timbers and support them mid-way. www.dominoclamps.com/products/shipping-container-roof-bracket You don't need to drill holes into the container for any of our solutions; we would never suggest that.
Yes you could certainly use this method or adapt it for insulation, according to the type of insulation you wanted to use. Dozens of ways to waterproof, all depending on the type of cladding you choose. Feel free to email us but not sure how to help further than that im afraid.
Very useful product! I am currently doing my bachelor's project and trying to find design for disassembly exterior insulating and cladding solutions for my container building. My question is if you have an adapter that prevents coldbridging instead of the plywood one? :)

If you need to move the container later, there are ways to lift it once the cladding has been attached. Look for lifting methods which require the top hole only or adjust your build so that the shield holes are not occupied by a domino clamp and have a little clearance at their face. This way you still should be able to get a lifting hook through them.
Well they serve slightly different functions. Cladding the exterior helps tidy up the exterior of the container, and offers some measure of insulation, moreso with a suitable insulator in between the container wall and the cladding. This has the obvious advantage of Not making the interior of the container any smaller than it already is. There's no right or wrong, really. - it really depends on which surface you prefer to make look nice and/or insulate.
Just run the timbers through the middle openings underneath and then form your base on top and bottom. Literally that simple. You've made a product for a problem that doesn't exist I'm afraid.
The price is a reflection of the quality of the manufacturing, the time and cost savings they offer by not damaging the container, and the safety they represent. (Up to 2000kg in NWL). As the adage goes; "“If you think safety is expensive, try an accident”
Awesome video, but how would you do this on 40-foot containers, for which standard timber lengths wouldn't work? Do you make a mid-point anchor?
Perhaps some vertical supports along the long side?
Very good question that was not answered. If you have to drill holes in the container, then it defeats the purpose of the clamps.

What aboug insulation for both hot or cold weather? And advice on water proofing the exterior of the cladding?

Hi Amanda please email on hello@dominoclamps.com with some more info about your requirements ands we'll see how we can help.
very cool...any thoughts on the cladding the big doors?
External cladding would require drastic door mods. Internal panels on each door would be far simpler.
I definitely want to see more about how to manage the doors. Not much online about it

This method is by far the best as far as insulation goes on the outside.
How about windows and doors that should be straight forward.?
Windows and doors will have to be framed off according to where they are. Any carpenter worth their salt will be able to do so quite easily.
What would be the guessamation cost for this?
What happens with cladding of a shipping container during shipping or moving to another location?
If you need to move the container later, there are ways to lift it once the cladding has been attached. Look for lifting methods which require the top hole only or adjust your build so that the shield holes are not occupied by a domino clamp and have a little clearance at their face. This way you still should be able to get a lifting hook through them.
It's definitely amazing how simple and inexpensive it is to buy and build a sturdy home and pay for it with cash 😁
Would this method substitute or work better than framing the interior of container?

Those domino clamps are pricey
