Hello,, great project I, just got a container and I was thinking to do the same. what are the screws that you are using, and wouldn't you have an issue with the screws on the inside? leaking? Thanks
What I did was weld a 2x6 Angle iron to the bottom I-Beam so there is about a 5" ledge then I glued 4" SIPs to the container wall and roof, very fast easy and inexpensive. R-36. I have a high cube so I also laid 3" of foam board on the interior floor, then poured and finished cement over the foamboard. I left the interior walls natural container and use heavy duty magnets to hold photos Etc and for heavier Artwork and such just tie them to the built in tie-down hoops. I wish I could attach photos here.
I like this solution better than CL's for several reasons: 1. easier. 2. higher R value. 3. maximizes interior space. Not saying CL's solution is bad, but this is the ideal "sweater" concept, even for the floor.
Have you considered spraying closed cell foam on the outside of the container and then siding over the foam, in lieu of inside insulation? This would mitigate foam insulation off-gasing problems for those allergic to such chemicals. As well as preventing condensation on the inside of the container by blocking cold before it reaches the metal of the container walls. Also might obviate the need to frame and dry wall the inside of the container, except where you wanted to wall off areas for rooms.
Awesome video! From a designer's perspective I love the different layers of siding you have incorporated. It gives the outside of the container a modern look that stands out. I have really enjoyed watching the series of videos.
Thank you for the videos. Question regarding the metal siding; is it OK to put Galvalume metal roofing directly on top of PT studs? From the manufacturer installation guide "CAUTION: Direct contact between pressure treated lumber and metal roofing must be avoided to prevent corrosion." Thank you.
can you do a video where you tackle exterior siding and insulation? For instance, if we wanted to maximize the interior of the container and minimize the amount of insulation inside, and rather keep it on the outside, with a proper rainscreen behind the siding, how would that look ?
Bro I always go to you for questions. The HOA wont let me build one unless i have either brick or stucco exterior. SO i am going to mount concrete board on the exterior and stucco boi. What now HOA
I've seen that system used, because shipping containers are built to stack eight units high. The corners are bolted together once stacked so they don't shift in transit. The stress points are the corners (20') with a midway stress point on most 40' containers.
@@SpankinHands40’ doesn’t need a midway support as it is designed for cargo of 30 tons with midpoint not touching the ground. A load in a home will be far less.
Is your truck a hybrid? Doesn’t appear so but can’t quite tell. I have a hybrid limited so wondering if that would impact the battery step for trying to insure no airbag codes are tripped. Just got a TRD pro wheel for a phenomenal price so planning this same switch soon.
After you put the 2 3/4" wood up, could u put the OSB on that and then build it up as a conventional exterior. I'm curious to save interior space if I can insulate the exterior walls.
Hello Blake Nice Exterior. Love the miraculous designs you have done. I have a challenge for you >> I would like to have an RV Shipping Container Garage, do you do those? Need it to be at minimum 12ftW x 48ft L x 18ft H. Thought of merging 20 ft HC's with open top and create a metal roof from the cut out tops. Or is there a cheaper way like steel masters buildings? Your Thoughts?
Hello! I need guidance . We are building a container home in the Florida Keys , we are close to our permit expiration date and are encountering difficulty with sealing the sides of the container. As per the architect we have to use HydroStop products for this. We have NO CLUE how to use this ! Any HELP, ADVISE ? Thank you.
Do you have any ideas for the roof? - to make a roof cooler - less solar gain - how about if a deck on top is being considered - how to support it. - how to attach the hand rails to a top deck Thanks.
Did you ever show how you fixed the studs in the inside to the wall or did I just miss it? Is it also with glue plus screws? And how far can you actually screw things into the walls of the container?
I would think the screws would be sticking out on the other side unless they were grinded or cutoff from the interior which is a lot of extra work unless they were drilled from the inside out. I'm sure the glue works ok from the start but my concern would be how many years will it stay bonded when exposed to climate. Even with self tappers that would still be a chore getting through that steel I would use oxy acetylene to make small holes before installing any of the wood then drill the screw from the inside out but open to ither ideas
@@marcushennings9513 -- I'm with you -- Who wants the siding or interior cladding popping off five or 10 or 20 years down the road?

Thank you for the video and great presentation.! I have a concern about the container which is metal absorbing a lot of heat in the summer months. Now you are using a material which is basically plastic. Everything in this building is contained How does a building like this breath sort of speak?
Is it possible to put foam board insulation in space between siding and container? Trying to save as much interior space as possible and it would be great if I could effectively to do by insulating connex on outside vs inside. Thank you 😋
Yes, you could however you need the interior space regardless for running electrical wiring and possibly plumbing lines. However if you have a different plan for that, then you could put the studs like we do in the siding video and then tac your insulation board to that and then place your siding over it and screw or nail all the way through the insulation board to your studs... make sense??
I like the idea of insulating the exterior of a RAISED (by 16-24”) container, and for the interior, keep it natural metal, but paint the metal with a light color acoustic-absorbing paint to avoid that echo sound!?! I live in a tropical paradise, where it never gets cold nor too hot! I would then run the electrical in metal conduit at the top portion, screwed into the square metal tube with self-tapping screws, then drop down the wire inside more metal conduit for the light fixtures and outlets at varying locations. From here, you can easily run wiring inside more conduit for ceiling fan fixtures, too! (Maybe even consider running some of the wire inside conduit coming up from the floor?) For the plumbing, I would go thru the wood floor, being cognizant of the extremely thick metal floor bracing underneath! Measure thrice, cut once, for your commode plumbing and shower/sink drains, and incoming water lines! For hanging cabinets, use 2”x3” wood studs, secured to that upper square tube, and glued to the metal, hanging downward in the metal corrugated grooves, and attach the cabinets to those. Base cabinets can be secured to the floor, and secured to the wall by wood that is glued to the metal wall, much like the wall cabinets or the exterior siding shown in video! Great ideas, seen on these videos! Thanks for posting!
Great video, on the exterior siding any thought on exterior insulation? There is a company that makes insulation that fits in the waves of the container. You glue those in place and they have a stud like plastic embedded in them. I am in a cold part of the country, near Duluth MN, planning a shop with containers for walls set about 40' apart with a roof over the whole thing. I am looking at exterior insulation only on the exterior walls of the containers. Your example has a 1" pink board. I don't see that as enough for -40 or plus 80. So my thought is panels from insofast.com, then 2-3" of the pink board or Rockwool with a vertical stringer screwed through the to the insofast, then lap board siding. bottom screened off for bug control, top under the roofline.
Yes! And we are using it here soon! We just spoke to insofast and we are going to do a detailed video on the system and if it works as well as they claim! I am not sure if you can use those on the exterior but I will find out! If so thats a great idea!
Containing Luxury thank you for the reply. I look forward to seeing your work. Most of this is available from “the build show” here on RUclips. Matt does all conventional construction. The idea is to move this to container. My project will be shop. Heated 40x60 slab with a container on both ends as walls.
Hello, love your work. I have been wanting to do something like this for my families ranch for some time. I understand that this question is subject to heaps of different variables. But not including the siding and not including the price of the container itself abd delivery of the container. Approximately how much does it cost to buy everything you used to complete the interior??
Hey Matthew, You read our minds. We actually just filmed a video about the cost if you were to buy all the materials and build it yourself. Hopefully we will have it on the channel within the next week.
By the time you've put on a roof, battens with exterior siding, internal framework with dry-board and cut the windows out, what's the point of using a shipping container? Wouldn't it be easier to use a wall-less container frame within which you could add single framework for both inner and outer?
A huge amount of the strength of the container is achieved by use of that corrugated steel. Every time you cut an opening for a door or window, you have to reinforce it to make up for that. Not saying it can't be done, it can, but it's going to cost you.
@@genjii931the load bearing structure of container is its frame. The corrugated sheet is there just to hold the cargo in. It is not designed to be a structural member.
Thanks mate for your great videos.. Just curious as I would be cladding a shipping container.. would installing upright as opposed to sideways make a difference? Styrofoam insulation outside with PVC cladding..... for Ireland.. with mostly cold and raining conditions..highest temp 25 degrees Celsius
From what I've read, in extreme temperatures, condensation is the issue. There has been a lot of study, but many builders get around that by opening the top of the container and building a pitched or barrel roof on top. Colorado has some emergency "hunter cabins" in the mountains made from containers. They are spray foamed on the interior before being clad with siding, but I haven't read updates on how that fares against condensation. I know that for safety, there needs to be a standard rate of air exchange, otherwise occupants would suffocate -- especially if using a wood, pellet or propane stove.
Djabrail NTP if you have any extreme temperature changes you really want to insulate as much as possible, if you insulate the outside you can use all different types but go for R-13 or greater, if you insulate the inside it must be closed cell, in a perfect home you would want to close cell thin layer on inside and then insulate the outside on top of it, then you know your super efficient but can be expensive
I'd like to insulate the outside of mine with hard foam board. How can I integrate that with the vertical 2x3's you show here? It needs to be well insulated. Thoughts?
i would go with hardipanel, stuff is fantastic. less maintenance than wood, way less expensive than trex decking. . for people who don;t like the dust, get yourself a shear, amazon sells these for 130 sometimes.
Byron Kelsey for installing the 2x4 to the metal we used a 2.5” self tapping hex head heavy duty screw. We are actually going to shoot a video next week installing wood siding on the other side and I will show and detail and make sure to link to them! So stay tuned
You glued the siding supports to a painted surface. So, essentially the strength of the bond is dictated by the strength of the paint adhesion to the substrate, which from a previous video, I noticed you just painted on top of a previous layer of paint that was already peeling. Seriously bruh, do you actually know what you're 3?
I live in the worst state for regulations California 😖 I wonder if it is required also how hard is it to get permits l here. I Just want to buy a peice of land and build one one it
Attaching horizontal siding to a vertical stringer is obvious. How did you attach the vertical siding to a vertical stringer? You skipped over that step.
It works because the wood is tongue and groove so the wood is all locked together and then they secured it to every vertical board that they could. You could also glue the tongue and glue joints together as well.
Make sure to watch to the end for the outtakes! Most people don't even know all of our videos have some pretty good outtakes of tyler and I messing around while filming, its a fun job for sure.... well we don't get paid for this, so maybe it doesn't qualify as a job.....
@2:44 It is an illusion to seal the sides of the wood to keep water out... it acts as a condense water trap without the possibility to ventilate in any way, no offense ;) Rijk
If you don't have a ladder, you can turn the board to reach the other end! (Too bad this video wasn't done shirtless... just thinking it would get tons of hits!)
Why not just use a decommissioned refrigerator semi-trailer pantech. Already fully insulated and no need to build frames for doors or windows. Converting containers is not a very viable action in comparison.
OK. I think that you went to much. You probably would be able to buy same materials and use it on real house instead. Or order modular house. The thing with container houses, you have to spend on them as little as you can. You gonna spend same money on insulation,electrics, pluming. But you'll end up to live in a box. I did something else. I bought ready built container office with plumbing and electrics and spent only 10k on it. All decorations and furniture cost me 2k . But now I have highly protected steel box that I can move in a day.
I’m curious how you got the vertical siding on when the framing was also vertical.
Hello,, great project I, just got a container and I was thinking to do the same. what are the screws that you are using, and wouldn't you have an issue with the screws on the inside? leaking? Thanks

Insulation only belongs on the inside of a container build!

Great, insulating on the outside to save space on the inside! Aircrete or styrofoam aircrete is a great insulation, rodent , bug and fire proof.
@@duanethieme4186 ya, just spray something on the outside and be done with it

If you don't have a ladder, you can turn the board to reach the other end!
(Too bad this video wasn't done shirtless... just thinking it would get tons of hits!)
Awesome
what can you sai about this video ?
Why not just use a decommissioned refrigerator semi-trailer pantech. Already fully insulated and no need to build frames for doors or windows. Converting containers is not a very viable action in comparison.
Freaking awesome!

came because he is cute, subscribed be cause I actually learned something :)
Show us without siding, just using the full aesthetic of the container.
OK.
I think that you went to much. You probably would be able to buy same materials and use it on real house instead. Or order modular house.
The thing with container houses, you have to spend on them as little as you can. You gonna spend same money on insulation,electrics, pluming. But you'll end up to live in a box. I did something else. I bought ready built container office with plumbing and electrics and spent only 10k on it. All decorations and furniture cost me 2k . But now I have highly protected steel box that I can move in a day.
That glue is expensive, just screw it on, caulk it
