Do you have any figures relating to the inside temperatures during the hottest part of your year. In outback Australia the inside temps during summer get to 100 degrees celsius so I've fitted a window and a solar Whirlybird to each container and would now love a roof between the containers to make a workshop area.
A few questions in the comments on how to attach the roof to the container... I have been preparing for my build this summer and obviously plan to build a roof of a similar design on mine. A few quick ideas I had to attach it without drilling through the container is to weld a few 1/4" thick angle iron brackets with the appropriate hole sizes and hole location in each corner of the container and bolt it straight down (of course depending on how you constructed your roof, you might just be using flat stock instead). Another idea would be to simply screw in some heavy duty eye bolts to each corner (or wherever you want them) of the roof and simply lash it down to the bottom corners of the container with your lashing of choice (ratchet straps, rope, cables & turnbuckles, etc.). Hope that helps, comment if you have other suggestions to help future readers of the comments :-) Oh, and Thanks for sharing Offgrid Victory, I've gotten a few great gems from watching your container videos.
thanks . I recommend next time screwing the sheets down with the screws in the raised ribs of the metal roofing , less water flow at these points . also I enjoyed the video thanks
Some articles suggest screwing in the valleys is better if there is no framing member under the rib. If there is just air, the articles say that the metal could work its way off the gasket on the screw and cause leaking also. So with that I think if the rib is wide enough for a piece of wood under it then it would be ideal to screw on the rib.
You don't screw into the standing seams because the expansion/contraction of the metal can lead to loose/leaking screw heads. Professional metal roofers will screw to the valleys. With correct screws, you won't have to worry about leaking.
Right- good video and I appreciate the time and effort in making it. I stumbled upon it trying to figure out a way to attached a roof to a shipping container.
Is it possible for a roofing company to just build that for you? Seems like something that cost wouldn't make a difference. They could knock that out super quick... Just curious.
Found this video for the second time in two years. First time I watched about three minutes and then quit. Made it to three minutes and forty seconds this time and I remembered why I stopped watching last time. Don't worry, you'll find out.
What's supporting the middle of the rafters?. That's spanning a lot
I need to know how you attach the first two by fours to the container.

Good job. Good tutorial. Thank you.
THat is an amazing amount of un needed work. THe cross members are typically 1x lumber nailed or screwed on top of the 2x4s
Nice job 👍
Good to know
Less talking and more showing the work.
Great build ! I'm looking to do the same as you. Is that pressure tread wood or not ?
Yes. It’s pressure treated, although not totally necessary.
Thanku for the details. They are very helpful information. What is the shipping container dimension?
Could we see how you attached the 1st boards to the container?
Right- good video and I appreciate the time and effort in making it. I stumbled upon it trying to figure out a way to attached a roof to a shipping container.
I need to know how you attach the first 2by4 to the container?
Muito boa a ideia, so like you job
How is the wood fastened to the container? Please show or tell us how it is held down.
Watch the video and listen!
I have watched this about ten times. I never heard him say. Does he attach it with screws or weld straps? I have no idea.
@@amyreaves8054 hes timing it down to the corners only(!) not really gonna stay on in a gale but maybe he's in. a protected area..
I hope you close up all of those gaps. You're going to have wasps, birds, squirrels, and everything else climbing up in there and making a home......
If you do another one, can you please do another video from start to finish

labor always costs way more than supplies
Is it pitched?
how well does that roof handle snow loads there?
a lot of talking without saying anything . how did you attach the first boards?
Nice,latter rain
Great idea

So show the roof. Why are we looking at a wall?
le falto la pendiente..¡¡¡
Bla bla bla bla
Too long winded !!!
Boring, all this could be explained in 1 minute, the rest is just blowing your own horn
