- Shipping Container Conversion. Insulated Storage.
A little different video to normal, I purchased a 40' shipping container as storage for my joinery and expensive materials (timber and sheet materials). This will be a god send during those damp winter months, allowing me to store everything I've made in a nice dry clean environment. The video shows the complete process, from groundwork, spray foam insulation to electrics!

Ground Preparation for your shipping container - ruclips.net/video/kVfoaPVPRmQ/видео.html
This is the first video that popped up for my search. I don’t need to go any further. Thanks for the help!! Love the spray insulation and flat panel LED lights.
Yep, both fantastic things. the lights impress everyone. All think it is a skylight until you turn them off!!!
Wow! I just learned how one man could hang ceiling plywood on his own with very little difficulty. I mean, I know it's work in of itself. Spot on mate! You made that look amazingly easy!
I like the way you did the floor. The whole build out is clean and simple.
Cheers Alan, its working a treat i will do an update video at somepoint
The convertion build of this container was amazing
Love your accuracy and method of working…………”All Is square in love and war”. 👏😀👍
Here here 👍👍
Fantastic conversion, ingenious ceiling clad method 👏🏼
Thanks Stephen! After lifting the first board up the hard way i had to come up with something haha

Fantastic job🙌 masterful planning and use of the fork lift to slide the OSB ceiling panels in 👌
Cheers mate, Yes i baked my noodle as to how to get 18mm OSB on the ceiling. Worked a treat! haha
Good Vid. Warm in winter and cool in summer. You have the best of both worlds with insulation. One other thing i would do is paint it white inside. It would make a massive difference to your lighting.
Cheers Fergie, yeah it's a real nice space tbh! Doesn't need the paint I don't think, it's just a storage space and ample light with the 4 fittings!
Top job mate, this should see you right for plenty of damp proof and secure storage, found it interesting watching the whole process 👍👍👍🇦🇺
Cheers graham, Its been a fun project.... thinking it through in my head was certainly a lot easier than actually doing it... kinda negleted to remember it was 40' long when i go, " and then ill just batten it and board it " in my head haha
So many people forget about using story sticks when building and miss out on how much faster it makes things , loved the whole build and your attention to detail 👍
Cheers buddy. :) yes rods and setting out very important
What’s a story stick
A vertical or horizontal stick with marks for each component, the vertical one for the container would be along the lines of a line at floor level, then batten thickness, OSB, open space then ceiling height, ceiling thickness, batten, spray foam, metal...
Basically a cross section drawing but just using measurements for quick reference.
Mad skills! I love learning from your videos!
NIce one Alpaca Renee, pleased to hear :D
endless possibilities. exactly what I was needing, time to talk to the ramp builders!!
Awesome, good luck
You Sir, are an absolute genius!!!
Haha cheers Dougie!!!
Great job . This vision been in my head for awhile, its great to see it come to life . Thanks
Thanks Victor! 👌
@@BradshawJoinery you're welcome
I’ve watched this twice. Gonna use this on my 20 footer. Thanks RT
No worries, its been fantastic so i fully reccomend it
Nothing less but impressive.You made it...armored !!!👌 👌 👌 👌 👌 👌
Thanks Buddy!! overkill storage solution
@@BradshawJoinery yeahhhh !!!
Wow, what a fast worker you are! Must be the energy drinks... Nice work, brother! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching, i wish it went together that fast, Haha
Very nice build, one of the best I have seen!
Cheers Bill! Its been a great investment!
As we say in the states, you're a beast! Awesome work! Great tips and gotchas!
Cheers Marcos! Pleased to have helped 👌👌
Very nice job 👍👍 ingenious way you sheeted the roof. Some time and money gone into that. Great job!
Thanks, Glad you liked it!
Absolutely loved the video from start to finish bravo sir
Cheers Ryan, love it
Great job. I'd be happy to have that as my workshop let alone storage!
A couple of decades ago, I was shown a workshop where a chap made kitchen cabinets in two 20' containers end to end. Raw materials in one end cabinets out the other. It wasn't anywhere near as nice as this "storage room". Cheers, David
haha it would make a nice house tbh! window cutout and some furniture i could live in it very comfortable haha.
Interesting about the workshop... i guess if your only making the one thing you could set it up to work!!! amazing

Excellent! Great video, as always...
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!
Looking really good.👍
Would love to have that as a store room nice 1.
It was really a great feeling finishing a cabinet the other day and carrying it straight out the workshop to somewhere dry safe and clean.
Great build and video Oli - many thanks Mate 😁👍🏼
Cheers matey, no worries
Outstanding work. Thank you for sharing.
Thankyou and no problem
Really nice work! The thing looks awesome !
Thank you johnny
excellent job
Thanks Makoshark :)
Really nice Job there
Thankyou Thomas, appreciate it!!
Wow ! Perfect !!!👍
Thanks a lot!
Excelleny video, I plan to do something similar and you gave me some great ideas on how to do some of the difficult things by myself. I plan to frame using 2x4's 1/2' away from the metal channel so the wood never makes contact with the metal. My end goal is to have 3-4" of spray foam (depending on the peaks and valleys of the steel) and 6-7" spray foam in the ceiling.
Thats what ive done, the timbers sit away from the metal everywhere. 2x2 was enough to be honest. if you orientate them so the bow of the timber is outwards, you can use a screw throught he timber to jack it away fromt he steel sides into a straight. 3-4" is a Lot!! whats it for? the 1" ive got really makes a huuuge difference and cant imagine youd need much more.
BRADSHAW JOINERY I figured I need 2” min to meet the r13 code, but r20-30 can’t hurt. The research I’ve done seems to push the 2” min to ensure I don’t get condensation, I’m in FL so we are humid as hell. Maybe I’ll go with 2x3s so it’s right in the middle.
@@jtr82369 if you haven't already bought your materials I would suggest looking into HuberWood products, more specifically the Zip System sheathing. They have 4'x8', 4'x9' and 4'x10' standard sheets (brown) as well as insulated sheathing (green) with R3, R6, R9, or R12 ratings. I'll put a link in the next comment or you can Google it if YT zaps the link. They have a full product line that seals up tight as a drum. I hadn't thought of using inside a container, but after considering the cost of spray foam and any fitment issues with it I think I'll be using Zip myself. If you already built yours out I'd like to hear how you did it.
Wow! This was very cool to watch! Thank you for the video!
Cheers Freddy.
Wow it looks fab, well done
thanks
Thanks for the great video
thankyou!
Very Well Done! The only thing I'd do different is drill the holes for the wiring before I sprayed the foam so that I had more room for the drill.
Yeah good idea!!
Awesome! Loved that video lads, great work!!
Thankyou 👍👌
Nice job.....WELL DONE !!!!!!!
Thank you!
Good job 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Great build!
Thanks Duncan 🙌
Beautiful work!
Cheers Mike!
This is what I just needed👏👏👏 Thank you
Awesome!
Muy bueno el video . Quedo espectacular. Los felicito
Thankyou!
I could happily live in that haha. Only one thing I’d change is the osb, I’d have ply but I suppose the osb is fit for purpose.
Ply would be nice, but plywood at the cheaper end of the spectrum has poor face quality/thickness so the osb is much more durable i think. Also alos cheaper
@@BradshawJoinery and plywood is more susceptible to mould than osb.
Well .... that was a joy to watch.
Keep 'er lit Bro!
Cheers Ivan! :)
great work
Cheers for that! :)
About the best container insulation vid on YT. Music gets a bit iffy though. Small niggle though. I really like the work done.
Nice one Jim, working on the videos, slowly getting better! thanks for the feedback :)
Love it! Great job
Thankyou for that
Very nice and simple. Excellent work
Cheers.
that is a great place to get out of the rain!
Yeah especially with the lights so he wont have to sit in a Dark container. Now he just needs a good chair and mounted T.V. and a good kitchenette for coffee making, he can sit out any down pour
Haha you guys have got it sussed!!! Little log burner and brew making facilities id never do any work.
Great job Mate, you could live in that look's great , Stay Safe !!!.
Cheers Brian, its a bloomin brilliant space tbh!!
Great video so relaxing 😌
Thank you 🤗
Very nice video you taught me something
Thankyou, hope it helps you :)
Great Video! 👍👍👍 Best Regards
Thank you very much!
Great work there. Learnt a lot.
Thanks you for that :)
Nice. You’re an artist 👍
Thank you so much 😀
I immediately favorited this video
Nice one Tim, thankyou
good working 👍👍
Thanks Manish!
Amazing
Thankyou
GREAT JOB 👍 GUYS
Thankyou very much!
Great job OneMan Army I like your job nice
Thanks Buddy
Awesome
Thankyou!
Absolutely cracking job, like one of the earlier commenters said have you thought about painting it whit inside.
Thans leon, i have but it is literally a storage vessel. Working a treat might i add, its nearly full already but i have a workshop again ahah
Incredibly intelligent build!!
Why thanks Lisa! It a brilliant storage space, I did a second question and answer video more recently
@@BradshawJoinery Storage containers can make great tiny homes as well. I particularly liked how you planned the sheathing so that it was easy for one person to install. RUclips recently place you on my feeds, and I am so thankful for this. You are a wonderful craftsman.
Another well executed, excellent job. I’m disappointed by some of the critiques in the comments section. Next time your in Texas- I need help with a cattle chute and a barn. I do not however, own any Festool.
Hi Sarah, ill perhaps pop over one day and take you up on the offer!!! Haha
!!!!! Super job!
Hello from the Russia ! !!!
Hello! What part of Russia??
USTED ES UNA ESTRELLA 🌟
thanks, Just a regular joiner. :)
Great vid as always. If you'd planned that amazing energy saving way of doing the ceiling.. Then bravo, because that was a stroke of genius! If it was a fluke.. You're a jammy sod 😉
I came up with the idea in the evening wondering how i was to board the ceiling alone!!!!! Worked a dream.
Nice one. Even without the forklift, it would have been a life saver 👌
I think you might want a ventilation fan to moderate temp I also found using mobile home roofing paint it reflects heat and cold and stop leakes
Thanks Bruce, ive had the container about 18months now, Its been a nice environment so far, i run a dehumidifier in there, not because there was a problem but im using it to acclimatize timber before use. Ill look up the paint, thanks
Great job. One could save some space and currency by spray foaming the underside of the container before it gets dropped in place
Great video, do you happen to remember the measurement of the stick you used for the floor spacing in between the 2 walls? I guess that was later used for the floor too.
Woh, That was a Bloody Job. You Do it Alone
Yes, hot work in 30 degree heat!!! Thankyou
excelente trabajo saludos from chile
Hey Marcos from Chile, thank you Very much for the kind words!
Saludos desde Penjamo GTO MÉXICO primo.❤❤❤❤, bonita casa que estado es ahí donde transmites tú vídeo 📹
Thankyou, greetings from Leicestershire UK
You want to paint the roof of the container a light beige color that reflects the sun's UV light. In Houston I bought a light beige car and it was cooler than any white painted car. Much cooler.
Aparanly there is a solar reflective bitumen that is the bees knees for protection and heat reflection
Someone’s a perfectionist haha
Haha Cheers Dan! Maybe a little bit
respect👍
Thankyou
Nice build! I think it came out great. We have 4 (out of 7) MSC containers for our container house build.
Nice!! I hope you have all of them now. seems they are in very sort supply!!
So ~ 55°C without insulation, how did the temperature compare after the insulation was sprayed and lining installed? Nice job, especially seeing a cabby doing a chippies job! Thanks for the video. Cheers, David
great! i havent got the thermometer in there but about 5pm on the hottest day last week (about 38 degrees c) it felt cool to be in there. i was certainly suprised!
How much for the foam spray...and how much for complete build if you don't mind me asking
Hi Victor, it'll be more expensive now but £2170 for spray, same for container 40' high cube and the total bill £6000
I know this was a year ago, but I was wondering about what was done for ventilation.
I don't have to worry about moisture so much (I'm in the CA desert), but interested in how folks are adding ventilation to the container.
Its storage, so no vent required. i have dehumidifier in there along with radiator
Brill... That was a great way to get those ceiling boards into the container.. That i going to be a great storage solution for you. Is that a DW745 you have there for your site work?
Thanks Paul, i was pleased when i thought of it. lifting them up was hard work at 18mm thick. Its the cordless 54v version. im really impressed with it! great for kitchen fitting as its so compact and light you can nestle it in a corner and set it up for a single cut and put it away again in under a minute. i love it. its not built for ripping down lots of lengths of timber though.... but it does it if your patient. Wouldnt go on a fit without it now
paultay23 hey ,if anyone else wants to learn about cargo container house plans try Container Recovery Tactics (container.RecoveryTactics.com ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my mate got cool results with it.
Looks good! As you went to the effort of insulating internally it seems a shame that the cavity is not fully filled.
It was too expensive for storage. the air cavity behind the board will help a little but the ain purpose was condensation control and to anchor the timbers in place without through fixings.
@@BradshawJoinery that makes sense. Thanks.
I heard it’s best the cavity isn’t fully filled so that the cold air does not transfer over as easy. There’s lots of different theories out there.
@@BradshawJoinery Hi, I hope that insulation helped for condensation? Am I right? Cause I want to spray at least 10 cm, while you have around 5 cm? Thanx for answer.
Yes, 2.5cm will be enough for condensation. It works brilliantly!
Interesting build, but I would have put a vapor barrier between the container and insulation. Steel containers in hot and cold climates cause a lot of condensation, and the foam will trap that condensation and eventually cause rot on the lumber and cause mold.
By vapour barrier i am assuming you mean sheet plastic, please do not, plasstic will attract the moisture especially where there is air cavity/sealed. this technique i have used removes condensation from the steel internal through insulation and encapsulated the timber. The foam is also a vapour barier
@@BradshawJoinery Your foam must be closed-cell then as open-cell will not act as a vapour barrier. If anything, I would maybe have a membrane on top of the insulation, but moisture permeable, so it is airtight, but any moisture happens to get in there, then it can come back out again.
Great video thank you for sharing. I have a few questions about your project first what is the thickness of your insulation or maybe the expected R value? What is the size of your sheet goods? Why use 18mm since it is not structural would 15mm have been enough? What are the finished dimensions?
Thanks For the questions, Finished insulation is atleast 25mm, thicker in the gulleys. No idea on R value, it doesnt take much heating in winter and holds changes in tempersature for days! I used 18mm for ease of mounting stuff to it later on, and also wider stud spacings. Id say it was the right choice and 15mm would have been too flimsy. I will update with another video showing finished dimensions soon.
Now you have to install tile to keep the floor clean!
Haha, it's been good tbh. Sweep out the dry mud now and then 😊
Now that the weather has turned yukky, are you having any issues with condensation? I have just sited a 20ft container in my garden and unsure of whether to fully clad it, or just leave the dehumidifier running flat-out (which it is at the moment). Great video by the way.
None whatsoever, i have a teeny greenhouse heater in there but its not quite enough, (55w) haha... it kept it arounf 4 degrees when it went to below zero for a few days. I think a bathroom type fan heater would be able to sustain around 15 degrees very economically.
I have seen homes built out of these things that weren't nearly this well thought out.
Cheers Bradley! Yes shocking, this method worked really well
Grate video. How has the container been with condensation with hot and cold temperatures in and outside. does/ does not get a lot thanks
Its perfect with the foam sprayed onto the metalwork there will be no condensation. Its always different temp inside, so hot day its cooler, and visa versa. Its brilliant.
Excellent video, the most comprehensive I've watched so far. What company did you use for the Spray Foam insulation and what was the cost? (GBP) Many thanks in advance.
Thankyou! i used Websters Insulation and it was £2170 inc VAT for 1" everywhere
@@BradshawJoinery Perfect, thank you, One last question, I must have missed it on the video but how did you get the electrical feed into the container (drill through the marine ply floor) or is there another way??? Also can I donate to your Patreon without signing up or anything?
Very professional work, I like that, are u using a storage space or ur workshop? Seem u could put a roof between the walls and ur continue and build a shelf for ur wood to stay dry?
It's a storage space for delicate timbers and sheet materials susceptable to moisture. My initial plan was to roof the whole lot so the sheets went from the building to the far side of the container. I've not got there yet but great minds think alike 👌
Loved this video! I need to spray foam my container just like you did but I'm not sure if I should hire someone or buy a kit myself. Was there any reason you got someone in, does them mixing it and spraying through their gun make it stronger or would a DIY kit hold the timber level just as effective or good enough? Thanks a lot Brad!
Army green Huh ! seen enough of them in my day, :D nice use of the forklift to put in the ceiling plates well done, that's using yur noggin lad , get a anti theft lock box welded onto the centre stile , padlocks on the locking arms can be chopped off in seconds and any goodies inside gone in minutes, DAMHIKT ! :(( neatly done on the electrics too. Karl
Gotta use your noggin, certainly makes life easier sometimes. Cheers Karl
Might have added a couple of ceiling fan/light units. Trapped humidity might be a problem. Might have chosen white for a color to lessen the heat load from the dark paint. Other than those, excellent work.
Haha, I was a bit relieved when the black was changed to green, I assume to match the other building. Cheers, David
Humidity will be controlled by a dehumidifier. i am contemplating wether air vents is a good idea, but i dont think so, It will have greenhouse heaters on thermostats to keep it above 7 degrees at all times. ceiling fan may not be a bad shout if it moulds up a little, but i cant see it happening tbh! Lets see how winter goes.
haha, The green is the same as the farm buildings cladding. Looks a lot less obtrusive when its all tied in!!
Great video. Starting my 2 container conversion into a shop up in northern Idaho. How thick was the spray foam?
Just 25mm is enough. Depends how long you want it to stay warm inside.
Beautiful shop. How did you fasten the framing to the front doors?
Thanks, I drilled through with a 3.5mm bit and then used 5mm screws through wood and into the inner side of the box section steel. You could use self tapping screws
Great video! You have done an excellent job. I will have to borrow some of your technique. I am curious as to what the load limit of the 2x2s done in this fashion would be. Could the handle loaded cabinetry? I may end up using 2x6s and 2x4s as i plan to run plumbing as well as electrical through the walls and floors on my multistory build.
Very very strong! With the boarding in place and the cross member in the roof, the wall would never fall in. Unless you need the extra cavity space then I wouldn't go thicker.
Best. Video. Tutorial. Eevvvveeeerrrr!! 👏🏾 we want to do this in the 45 footer we just purchased, but would you mind sharing how much it all cost (minus the container, of course, lol)?
About 4k for materials and insulation 5 years ago
HI Mr Bradshaw
Forget using paint on the roof of the container .I have been selling used shipping containers for 35 years and the best way to protect the roof and make it watertight is cold solar reflective bitumen paint. Apply with a roller and periodically clean the roof with a power washer that way you will prevent any corrosion The roof is the weakest part of the container so needs more care than the rest from the elements.
Hi Phil, Could you name a suitable product and application method? Is it just a one product coating or primer/bitumen layer? Don't post a link as youtube deletes comments with links without telling you.
Nice video! How wood frame secured inside the container without screws into metal frame?
Do you drill the hole on floor in order to get electrical wire from outside?
Hi, Please watch the Questions and answers video i did about the container! ruclips.net/video/nrQo62PNRcI/видео.html
How did you covered the screws that you drilled from inside out while adding the wood frames to the walls
They screwed through the wood frames but only hit the walls, not going through them. I used them like jack's to position the frames level and hold while the spray foam was done
