Building a Shipping Container Home | EP03 Doors, Windows, and Insulation
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 мар 2019
- In episode 3 of how to build a shipping container house we will show how we installed doors, windows, and insulation in a shipping container home. We experimented with different ways of reinforcing the openings we cut in the corrugated metal of the shipping containers and show how impacted the installation of the doors and trim pieces to cover gaps between the door frames and the containers. The star of this episode is the pair of JELD-WEN Bi-folding doors that we installed parallel to each other.
The PDF plans are on the website for this Container House Project:

Videos like this on RUclips are exactly why I don't need a TV subscription. Thank you for your hard work.
thank you!
Exactly

Amen Brother/Sister! LOL Me too, me too.....I have a digital antenna that I got for 150 at Walmart 3 years ago....back to basics and I got my RUclips on all the time....this video series is very informative. We just got our shipping container today a 40 footer...working on getting the slab done this week! Wish us luck!
These are the most detailed, chronological, and comprehensive tiny home videos I’ve ever seen. They’re treasures. Thanks a ton!

I have a feeling that if the architect works with a builder and draw up a home with the intention of making it easier to build, they would go with large support posts, long continuous LVL beams, and premade trusses. It would be so much faster, easier, and even a home owner can put it together.
but I do appreciate this project and how you captured it, it is so damn professional and well done. We RUclipsrs thank you for this effort!
For anyone in more humid climates. Please use closed cell spray foam insulation or you will have problems with rust from condensation behind the foam boards
I was wondering about condensation in a metal building, too.
I dislike the chemical outgassing from the spray foam.
I'm sure the rigid insulation would have some residual outgassing but I don't know if it is closed cell foam or if it's somehow more permeable so that residual chemical gas is released before it's installed. Of course, there are lot of variables.
Rigid insulation has a different feel and appearance than on-site spray foam insulation so for that reason, I think it's different in that regard. Well, I hope so.
I agree, mold is gonna be a major issue...
thank you for the warning
I was going to write a comment as well to ask if they considered thermal transfer when doing the insulation, but I haven't finished the video yet so thought it may be mentioned later on.
You can use a vapour barrier if the material itself is not enough of a barrier for vapour or not properly sealed with aluminium tape and low expansion foam.
From the start, Ryan was very helpful and is continuing to be helpful about his ruclips.net/user/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans . Also, they have answered all the questions I have asked & I got outstanding support from his My Shed Plans full package.
I wonder if you could spray the exterior with Auto body undercoating.
I guess it's waterproof because I guarantee it won't rust
Using containers was for ease and cost savings in the old days. This looks like it cost way more and is way more difficult than just building a regular house.
i agree! this was sort of a mythbusting experiment for me.
@@TheModernHomeProject I have a 40' hi cube in Lucerne Valley on 10 acres. I'm so not going to get permits or follow codes.
Not going to lie. There's probably 47 states in this Union that you could've easily done this for 1/3rd the price.
If you could pre-fab and standardise everything prior... you'd save so much time and money that way. Also it seems the only benefit of structural support are the framing beams of the container which can be achieved with H framing supports and require less cutting and guff.
It's romantic, but I think there were more precise and easier ways to make this... It's essentially three insulated sheds... treat it as such and get those experts who do that day in day out to smash it out... but hey, learn by doing is the best way.
And building a conventional house wouldn’t limit you to those crappy dimensions.
This is so detailed and in depth. Thank you for bringing this to us. Cant wait for the next ep!
This is one of the best produced builder series I’ve seen. No Shortage of details. I love it. Good things take work and sweat over the details!
Man, I so wished that when I was going to school that I had a teacher as smart and logical as you. You are very thorough and concise in your explanations.
Great job, I am learning so much.
Ooooo Tell me 1 thing you learned from the video. Be honest, don't rewind.
@Malicious Affection - Passive solar angles per region, for one thing.
@@raynoladominguez4730 Yeah, great teachers are the bomb.
Yes, the builder is a good teacher/ moderator. He does pay attention to detail. Its just a waay overdone, needlessly expensive project.
Jerry c I don’t think money was an issue he stated earlier that it was a vacay home.
I never ever had any interest in building such a house. But somehow your video was recommended and I binge-watched all three episodes. Nice job! Looking forward to episode 4.
There are many components to doing a pro job. One resource I found that successfully combines these is the Magic Container Plans (check it out on google) definately the best info that I've seen. Check out this amazing site.
3:15 That Clouds look Amazing..!
I love that everythings available at home depot, and that they'll deliver to the jobsite. your videos are incredibly informative. I feel more capeable and less intimidated with the process for sure. It becomes more "doable". thanks for these!
I'm really liking how in depth the explanations are at the end of the video

The production value and design notes with diagrams at the end of the video is fantastic, honestly this is probably the best shipping container home videos Iv seen. thank you so much for putting this all together for us all at home to enjoy.
Yes I agree. This has been quite helpful in overseeing past, present and future aspects of a building process.
complete agreement.
gurkon953 certainly agree
My mom and I will be building my home with no help from others! This is giving me ideas! Awesome!
That's the spirit.
Encouraging indeed.
Love this series Ben. I have dreamed about building a shipping container home for years that would be as off-grid as I could make it. I love the passive solar ideas. But beyond all that, your tips are incredibly insightful and very, very useful. I look forward to more of these videos!
Ben - These are great videos ... very thorough. I think they are the best on the Internet. And that comes from someone who has been looking at Shipping Container construction for 10 years. Well done, sir.
10 years? lol

You are such a cool guy sharing the information step by step. It is highly appreciated, as well as exciting to watch you building your house and been patient enough to share with us everything that you are going through.
I cannot wait for the video 4.
Hi! The house plans i used are now available for sale here: gum.co/WLXVe
sorry for the delay and the audio issues. I have been traveling a bit lately and its been hard to keep up on editing. I wasnt sure how in depth to in the design notes section but i will try to add more information to the web posts which i am working on now. Here is a link to the architecture firm i co-founded: zeroenergy.com/ if you want to see some of the other houses we have designed. Go to www.uncontained.house for a 360-degree tour.

Can I hire you to build one for me?
How Much Did This Entire Project Cost You? From Start To Finish... $?
Cool! 👍🙂
you had to drop the right audio on all the transitions. been deaf in my left ear i had to pull some crazy things with my headset to hear what you were say haha
Perfect Timing! These videos have been inspiring and your info is so vital for planning and designing a modern container home! My tools are ready! Thank You!

I'm extremely impressed with the builder's pride in workmanship and detail. No expense spared. Probably not a viable business model, but if I were made of money, this is the guy I'd want building stuff for me.
Woow I can't wait for episode 4. Absolutly love this. Thank you and congratulations! Hug from Portugal.
I cannot wait for ep04.
Keep up the excellent work.
Thank you John Cena! i have always admired your commitment to jorts
The Modern Home Project when can we expect episode 4?
I've completely fallen in love with this series and I'm so excited for Episode 4!! \o/
I can't believe I'm just now seeing this guy's channel.. what a great presentation!! I've been into shipping container homes for a long time, but most of the youtube vids on the matter are usually home tours and such. Awesome to see such detail in the episodes! They picked an amazing spot to build on as well!
What a fantastic project. I have thoroughly enjoyed EP01, EP02, and now this one. I'm looking forward to EP04. The time you've taken to show and explain the materials and work going into this project is much appreciated - I have learned so much. Thank you.
I’m only 13, but this is a dream I really would love to fulfill in my life.
Study hard, work hard, save your money and you can do it.
See if your local college offers courses in welding and you can do much of the work yourself.
Haven't seen it yet but really enjoying the project design and videos!
Hi can I just say thanks for this series. Without doubt they are the most confusing but informative videos I've seen on shipping containers yet. I'm in the UK so a lot of the permits and related costs aren't applicable but the building aspects are going to be great when I finally get to live the dream. Cheers again
I'm a little over a year behind seeing this, but it's good to see you did this build correctly. I see a lot of container builds by DIYers that would never pass code, but it sets an unrealistic expectation for people who dream about a container home. We design, engineer and manufacture container homes for a living and though we do things a little differently, it's nice to see that you're taking care to do things the right way!
ABSOLUTELY ENJOYING THIS VIDEO SERIES!!
This series is so good. thank you for making this
Excellent job (so far)! Very well put together. I'm totally thankful to you for such detailed instruction. Your ability to explain every aspect helps me plan and think as I work on many different DIY projects. I'm so excited to see episode 4 and whatever lies beyond your current project. Thank you from Anaheim Hills, California.
Your documentation and graphics were amazing. Thank you
Why weren’t the containers fitted off site?
Just watching you guys working in the heat killed my life
This channel does a great job of destroying everyone's DIY shipping container home fantasy one episode at a time.
It's not his fault it's just California, although there are many other states
Just depends on where you live, in the Caribbean once the thing has 2 doors that all they need lol.
who knew that even a container home complex could be pretty expensive...
Spends more building shitty shipping container house in the middle of nowhere than most Americans spend on their home purchases. 😂
destroying everyone's DIY shipping container home fantasy ?!?
Wow thanks for all the amount of detail you put into this videos. Definitely helpful!
No other words rather thank you so much for these. I'm a junior architect who recently interesting in shipping container design since several of my projects need to use it. This helps me so much.
The best tip was to hire out your drywallers. Those guys are amazing and worth every penny. That is the one thing I refuse to do myself.
UK follower from the UK great videos keep them coming.
omfg and I just finished ep02 what a coincidence
Same lol
Me too!! I was looking at the gap between episode 1 and 2 and sighed, and then episode 3 was up!! Haha
Same!

I'm looking forward to the next video. You and your crew have done a great job and I'm enjoying the process. Grind on.
Not sure how I stumbled upon this but I just watched 1&2 , on a preppers standpoint I find this interesting thanks
You have convinced me that using shipping containers isn't worth the hassle. I'd like to see what the extra costs were vs "standard" stick frames. My guess is that the non-standardness cost a bundle. Mostly in complying with regulations...
Yes I agree. if you go permitting with all the structural engineering stamps, its adding so much cost. These are good for someone building a tiny DIY house using as much existing finishes as possible. Built as a movable unit. So no permits required.
No, just don't do it in California. See ruclips.net/channel/UC-l69It3hxAY3tkBH_utLNQ for a Texas (real DIY) build.
@@TheOtherBill put it in a playlist
@@Janzer_ It's not my channel.
Not in California!!! But other states are well worth the effort. Especially in rural areas.
God I was waiting for this videos for a month !!!!!
sorry it took so long. i have been traveling
The Modern Home Project Stop that! 😆

This is a great series. I love the attention to detail in describing the design, engineering and construction process. I work as architect in europe and I find many of the materials used a bit of overkill but biggest one is requirement for sprinklers in a single family one floor dwelling. I would consider this maybe if the house was powered by gas but in this case I am sure its not. Looking forward to seeing more videos!
Episode 4 already, Come on people!!
Best channel ever!
It feels like I was waiting forever for this episode.
I'm just interested in watching and learning about building houses, from big to tiny homes, shipping containers build, restoration, van conversion, and this is by far The Most Awesome build from beginning to end that I have seen. You and your team are amazing!
That’s exactly how I’m building mine!

This is a great channel and so happy I came across it! It give me my fix for tiny home living, answers questions about how much certain situations would cost, what’s allowed or not with some building situations you may come across, and prob my favorite how much, which ones, and one that work better tool wises!! Bonus is seeing the auto CAD type design work kudos One stop shop for your EVERY NEED!!! #NEEDMOREEPISODES LOL Can’t wait to see what’s next and what you do to work yourself around it
I do feel like its been stated before, but holy cow no way I'd ever build a house in Cali after seeing this. I can't imagine spending that much extra for fire suppression system in a home. That's just crazy.
Funny. I just found this project last night and was disappointed that only two episodes were available. Good timing, I guess.

same i was actually hoping i was watching old content so i could skip ahead to the ending
@@EmpireRamzes Same here, man
I love it!
I like the way that he explains step by step every detail.
I'm in a way of getting mine.
Thank you, Ben for such a great help!
& God bless you 🙌
Let's get a grand total in episode 4 on the build from bottom to top. Very interested from florida
Great, really informative video!
I love it. Keep up the outstanding work can’t wait to see it finished
Love this series very much so far. Very informative. I'm a licensed Architect but I'm still stuck on office work which means I still don't have much actual building / on-site experience. Keep going Sir. God bless.
we need the continuation pls :)
It seems with such a ridged steel structure , that the plywood on the inside would be redundant and a waist of money . Also seems like some of the wood framing is a bit overkill. i will say there was a lot of very nicely detailed information here , along with the thought process . Also the aspects relating to your particular climate .
For sure its overkill but since hes documenting every little detail he has to make sure that all of his corners are squared away, Plus I imagine he plans on renting this out with Airbnb so he’s got to make sure it’s up to code. Just my guess
yeah you don't want that redundancy to go to your waist
A pleasure to watch the process! You’re amazing.
Thank you for your hard work.. You've ran into things.. I've not thought about! 😁😀
One of the best shipping container building set of videos ever! Great work! Straight to business and very very informative. Subscribed and liked!
This would be really cool if you used 3 of the long containers setup in an "U" configuration with the arms pointing east. It would leave a small courtyard that with the help of an awning/screen would be protected from the afternoon sun.
Thanks again for this series. Great videos and your notes at the end are very very valuable.
wow.. i know absolutely nothing about architecture or engineering, this stuff blows my mind. very well-made and nice to watch, can't wait to see more!
Great video series, very informative
Please post some more updates, I love this! ~Peace
Thank you for sharing this knowledge and info!! You're amazing.
Wow your doing this in real time, like right now! Can’t wait to see your final presentation.
My experience with shipping containers is to insulate them from the outside with a foot of mud, which worked well in Afghanistan 100° plus, also it resisted direct RPG hits. I can give you more crazy experience free.
wow! that is intense and thank you for your service
@@TheModernHomeProject three storied barracks were also built with shipping containers, and here in the states training compounds were.built made to look like villages or large enclosed compounds like those in Afghanistan and Iraq. Biggest thing is use your imagination and reenforces when you remove the walls.
Sophisticated knowledge there! Like it!
@@cameronmale83 knowledge that is freely shared, because that is what inspired me, therefore it needs to be share free. Besides others can make cool homes and up cycle all these empty shipping containers, also think of the jobs it creates too
Sprinklers 👀 You don't see those in the mansion tours you see of California... GG Regulations.
You have done a great job on these videos. These containers will be there for 100's of years from now.
Waiting for the next episode!
Thank you so much!
Great information. Especially the design notes at the end of the video. I'd really like to see more info if the build was in a cooler, wetter climate like UK.
I appreciated these vids but realize how much easier it would have been to build these offsite and deliver already done.
Great idea!!
Those would be considered Pre-Fabricated (Prefab) Homes. There are a lot of companies that offer that option with traditional materials, not many do it with containers.
prefab homes falls into a category that would not work for the need of construction process be separated by step by step trade inspections according to most of US building codes, which turns worse process when Codes apply in Hurricane and Tornado regions specially like Florida.
@@Thepuppetmayor The process can work in those areas, but prefabricated homes would have to have a costly interlockinglocking design, which destroys the entire point of prefabricated homes.
Each frame of the prefab would have to have a interlocking skeleton design built around treated steel and then welded. Just too costly unless you want your house just spread out as in sections over a property to meet requirements.
V Guyver agree to some extend in regard the type of interlocking would make the modular home more expensive, yet the main purpose of planning a prefab home is to reduce construction timeline and the commodity of doing it off site in a more controlled ambiance for better product and productivity of skill labors who pre-fabricate it. The problem I see more is, that modular homes often comes with all the main structural components and tech systems already integrated which for some building officials, the single trades can not be visually and sequentially inspected, as it is for traditional construction, from wish step by step Bldg inspections sequence has been typically accommodated around of. In Florida for instance, the huge amount of inspections are set with the need in mind to inspect every single nail, screw by screw, in a such one by one element review resulting in a slow and tedious process for every trade is being checked. Another issue is that modular structures for homes are very difficult to standardized based on residential zoning districts that vary radically even in the same street sometimes or same city block in terms of lots sizes, lot coverages, high limitations, existing utility easements, if historical guidelines applies some times etc. such critical variables that are more suitable to fit with standard construction. Leaving prefab systems designers to have more Cons than Pros and and the sad reality that “one size can not fit all” then to give up.
brilliant tips!! it looks great, thanks for all the tips
you've done a great job on this video series, super impressed
Be glad that code didn't call for steel conduit for all electrical wiring like we have in Chicago!

Great info, thanks for bringing us along for the ride!
Your video making skills are top notch, and I will be using this series as a reference point in the future for sure!
Great series of videos, glad RUclips suggested it. I really think you got fucked over by building in California, but it's still a great build. Looking forward to part 4. I really want to see the finished project.
Lot of manpower and material required for this project. Probably more feasible to buy a mobile home.
Lot's of love for you guys. Great vid with careful detail and clarity.
@15:27 " Even when I went nice & SLoOoOoW!" - that was one heel of a voice creack there .
But this series Of videos most definitely has fantastic information & insights into building with Cargo containers, the process of doing it properly & the steps needed for doing so in California.
I live & have lived in Southern California my entire life , And recently took a trip up into Oregon for the first time & just seeing the difference Between not only the land with the trees , hills & mountains but also the HUGE difference in cost between there & California especially when it comes to TAX was amazing. And am currently looking into buying property there to build either a Wooden cabin or using cargo containers like this to build a house for hunting , fishing , Camping ect. To possibly even just move up there to stay. This video definitely helps out alot . Keep up the good work
not shown: the spray foam temporary factory needed to be built next to this project
This project required only five pallets of spray foam.
Preach it, brother. (Imagine all the empty spray cans)
Hires out the drywall, plumbing, framing, etc, but didn't want to hire out the spray insulation. Makes no sense.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH if he advertises the spray foam... it is better for his wallet..
Sponsored by Home Depot, yet he uses spray foam in a can when he could get spray foam in a box from Home Depot and be done with the entire project using one, maybe two boxes at most.
Everyone developed cancer.
I love your work and I'm watching from accra ghana in Africa. I've been planning to build a container house which is not common in my region and watching your documentary is guinea a detail and has architecture student I'm having a deeper insight. Thank you guys
awesome work.
can't wait for the next episodes.
seems rather easy when it's laid out in easy to follow episodes..
1/2" plywood sheeting! I have to say that seems like overkill to me as well, and I'm a civil engineer
well if you can work through the details and show the calcs i would love to hire you to do the next one. In addition to the fee i would be happy to split the cost saving on the materials
Agreed. Mech E here and not at all experienced with structures but it seems like the engineer who approved this design just assumed that the shipping container was essentially a rain screen and not contributing to the overall strength. Hurricane straps on the interior and other foundation ties that bypass the designed load points for the container (shown in other video in this series) all indicate that to me. Kind of a shame because it seems like Ben really got hosed by the building codes and approval process in his area.
Chris Aho California, California, California. No one else is to blame but degenerate California and its Bolshevik, retrograde, dystopian bureaucracy, disguised as "progressive" 👌🏻
I could see if you cut away huge sections of the container wall maybe, but otherwise what total bs. The allowable load in a 20ft container is 21.5 tons.
@@V0YAG3R haha, neocon marxists.
I love your videos and I don't even know how to hammer a nail into a wall
Wow, you did a really good job on this video, very good graphics and attention to detail. We had been thinking of building a house out of shipping containers for years, but we finally decided not to. You did a really good job on yours though, and it looks like you're going to have a super strong house and you won't have to worry about termites or fires. We have a bunch of shipping containers, but we just use them as a garage for a back hoe, and as storage.
Drove by on my quad this weekend. I was looking at ten acres on the other side of the water tank. Noticed another trailer parked out there. You also smoothed rocky road a bit.
Have you considered a 40 foot 5th wheel RV instead?
For $50k you'd have a real nice one.
Jus say'n!
Why buy something of less quality when you can something yourself? Even if you wanted a moveable tiny-home, an RV is basically a trailer park on wheels, aka its junk. You'd be better off building a tiny home on a trailer or out of a school bus/box truck yourself for less money and better quality (building material, insulation, solar, etc.)
shouldn't electrical wires/cables run through plastic pipes for easier maintenance/additions in the future?
enjoying the series btw!
No stainless steel conduit is the industry norm... and fire safety
@@arthurdduda8233 oh alrighty thanks for the correction man, my point actually was that I didn't see conduits just wires and cables between the wall layers, my bad if I missed it.
@@arthurdduda8233 Industry standard for residential wiring is NM cable like what was run on this install. Any conduit would have worked as an alternative to NM cable. As for conduit the industry standard would be galvanized EMT style conduit not stainless steel. PVC pipe would have been fine though, and much easier to work with in this type of structure. Stainless is very rarely used in corrosive environments.
Wonderful job guy’s I love it and just learn how to do it also.Thank you the education.I thing I did learn that I could cut the container the container from the length both top too bottom and extend it for more space.Many People are doing this also.Great Job guy’s.
These videos are fascinating. Thank you!
next episode???
