Recent subscriber here, looking at many of your videos over the past week or so. You've obviously figured out how to make shipping containers into real working/residential structures. I've only previously seen a lot of questionable DIY-type conversion videos and websites you've warned us about. I had written off the idea of making these things into refined buildings as both impractical and messy. But you've totally changed my mind. What you're showing on this newest video with interior wood studs is fabulous. I live in the southwest US desert and, while we have to be concerned with extreme weather insulation scenarios here as much as you would in cold, wet Canada., the comparative lack of moisture we have means that nicely finished wood container interiors here are both practical and desirable. Question I have: Maybe you've already talked about them elsewhere on your channel and I simply haven't discovered the video yet, but what do you think of 10' wide containers? I see they're available in both 18' and 25' lengths. The extra width over a standard 8' wide container, to me, looks like a problem solver for an all-wood and/or drywall interior build.
Hello! Thanks for the support. I really enjoyed reading your comment. Makes all my hard work worthwhile. Only 8ft wide containers fit in vessel slots. 8.5ft wide 53's must be shipped in large batches on cargo ships. Same goes with 10ft wide units. I have never heard of 10ft wide units being readily available. My guess is they are made in North America meaning the quality is low and the cost is high. If the price is reasonable and you aren't being fooled with a tin structure or fold out container, go for it! The 8ft wide interior is the #1 drawback to containerized solutions. I am skeptical though so please share a link if you want more feedback.
Fantastic development! And...I like the idea of using composite studs such as, (can I mention a trademarked composite 2x4 maker?) rhymes with Dollywood. I didn't even think about that until you mentioned it here. Great idea with using the steel studs even closer to the wall but leave enough for the closed cell foam.
Is there a video that shows how to finish the walls with 2x4 studs? How do they connect to your brackets? How do you secure the studs to the floor? I'm new to all this so...
Going to make a a toy box room for things that go bang and a bunch of fishing rods. I want it to be trimmed out nicely on the inside. Do you suggest buying a high cube or do you run into more issues with those?
I connected two 40' containers together and put a truss roof over top. I cant afford 80 of these brackets. What do you think about just using these where the containers are connected and a normal wood stud wall an inch away from exterior wall with spray foam. Any issues you would foresee with mold?Ty for your time
wink wink nudge nudge.... how hard can it be to build ...a box ...in a box...from china? what if someone built a container to sell to china? @@TheContainerGuyTV
Great video and really cool product. Question, If you did finish the framing with lumber, what would be the best way to tie in the top plate? Could you use the bottom of the bracket somehow?
Thanks for investing your time and effort to come up with new solutions that make mods to shipping containers very easy. I would like to know how you would attach side wall wood studs to the bracket that was installed to put wood studs for the roof? All that is exposed on the WSB bracket after installing ceiling studs is a flat metal. I'm confused on how to join side wall wood studs to it?
Build your walls outside of the container, carry them in, then nail the top plate to the studs in the WSB. I wouldn't use wood down the walls. Use 1 5/8" steel studs and get max width.
My friend owns a garage with a couple of containers he uses for storage and the roof on one rusted out so when he replaced the container he had the new container roof sprayed with truck bed liner coating to keep it from rusting out. Is roof rot an issue and have you heard of coating a container with truck bed liner?
If you rubberize coat a new container, it'll outlive us all. If you spray over rust, obviously you're putting lipstick on a pig but it'll still be a reliable solution for years. He's good to go. Nothing to worry about for a while
Those are really cool brackets! As for "non-human" occupation, I do not believe that it would matter. Actually, its adding structural support. Plus you're going to be following it up with a top & bottom plate plus studding so you'll be fine. Just refer to your building inspector and see what they say. And I was thinking the same thing about being used as an underground bunker. LOL 😂😂😂. Neat product!
Not if you don't poke any holes in the container. I repeat, you can't have a single hole going through it. The WSB goes into the hollow tube so it's okay. The base track would screw into the wood floor. Don't use screws longer than 1" into the container floor. No windows. No doors. Nothing til you get to the final resting place.
@@TheContainerGuyTV Thanks for the reply, so as long as the outer shell is not pierced. I am thinking of making a shelving system with HD totes on both sides.
If you used this framing system with wood studs on a 40 ft HC. Do you know what the new interior dimensions would be? Would it still be 6'-11 1/4" wide ? L X H X W?
This is great material I love the videos and it's convinced me to buy a shipping container now !! Is there any downloadable file with all the information I'm going to use this container for storage only !
I need your help, do you know if it’s possible ( or even a good idea ) to build a house out of 6 foot shipping containers? we’re planning to move to an island and the largest possible shipping container we can have delivered is a 6 foot container. we originally planned to use much larger containers but it isn’t possible so we either need to scrap this plan or figure out how to do it 🫠🤦🏼♀️
Wouldn't it be better that all insulation, etc. be on the outside. As everything you are doing here is making a small interior space even smaller. You aneed a system of insulating the outside and covering it up with cladding.
I said in this video I still recommend steel studs & spray foam for any human occupied space. There are uses outside of Container Homes for this WSB product as brought to my attention by comments on our last framing related video. @marcanthony854 is correct (in certain climates) that the wall cavity between the container corrugations and the wood studs/insulation must be ventilated like an attic.
The downside of using metal is that containers can flex a bit during transport and it can lead to popping screws. These are great brackets that offer the best of both worlds. @@kimbass5220
@@TheContainerGuyTV I have learned a lot from your videos and being from Washington, while we don’t have nearly as extreme winter as much of Canada, we still have very wet winters. We are going to be a getting a container here soon and I would like to use some of your products and have some questions on mixing some different building materials. Is there someway I can reach out to you?
I suggest using liquid nails not screws for wall studs for the rear of the shipping container without doors you can use 2x4s and for the sides I think it's 2x3s leave the ceiling go unless you want it insulated. I'm building mine out for a outdoor man cave an work bench area lol
@@jerrydawg4434 think of that... if you coock inside that it will build up condensation, if you build a shower it will build up condensation, if you have a bed inside and sleep inside it will build up condensation. never the less i would use wood inside (also as cover up for the wall) as if you build up the right conditions inside, wood is still the best material within. what i am more woundering about is the forced airholes in container.. you seal them up befor sprayfoam?
You don’t need a vapor barrier. The exterior of the container should be impermeable. It’s the warmer air from inside that contains moisture that can travel through the finished product..be it Sheetrock or whatever you finished out the interior with. This usually happens through electrical outlets or at any gaps at the top or bottom. What you really need to think; is an air barrier that limits the moister air inside from traveling through this finished surface to be able to condense on the cooler inner cavity. The amount of moisture that can travel through Sheetrock is very minimal. It’s the air leakage you have to be concerned with.
Don't use this if you are converting your shipping container into a "GrowPod" or live in cold weather. The screws will freeze and there will be condensation and frozen insulation.

Containers where I’m at are way to expensive. After you pay for delivery your over 10 grand, better to start with hesco cubes in some areas. If you order enough of them, you get a container.
It seems silly and wasteful to build another structure inside a structure. Somebody come up with a simple insulated panel system with a finished inside surface that gets bonded directly to the container. That would make sense.

Unable to ask a question on the comments section?? Are using some type of filter? It’s even hard to type here. Strange.
I use Wood Defender on all my wood. It makes it hydrophobic. Wood also doesn't rot from moisture, it's microbes that rot the wood.
You're a freaking genius!!! Great video!

What do yo do with the container ventilations holes ?
So clever
OK very good but just double check I can use non-composite for human habitation if I spray foam I’m just trying to figure out what’s cheaper thanks
great video!
Is there a video that shows how to finish the walls with 2x4 studs? How do they connect to your brackets? How do you secure the studs to the floor? I'm new to all this so...
You can frame your walls outside on the ground, carry them in, then screw or nail them into the wood floor and into the ceiling studs.

Great product. You really have thought this out.
Great video and really cool product. Question, If you did finish the framing with lumber, what would be the best way to tie in the top plate? Could you use the bottom of the bracket somehow?
Steel studs for the walls is honestly my best recommendation because you can piece in the tracks and studs one at a time.
I want to build one in to reloading room would spray foam keep the moisture out
It'll keep the moisture in & out. If you open the doors when it's 100% humidity, the spray foam will not randomly dehumidify the air.
I was thinking about putting air conditioning and dehumidifier in it... It's going to be like safe when done...

Could T-studs or EcoStuds be used with spray foam to increase energy efficiency?
Would appreciate if you could explain how you frame since the traditional way of framing, as you say, has to be installed in a different way.
how dont the screws stick out the other side? how this is the metal? or is that square piece along the top hollow?

Great idea but it doesn't solve the real problem with shipping containers. The trapped moisture with the vapour "barrier" (steel) on the wrong side.

So you're suggesting a second vapor barrier? 🤔

Glad to hear! That was our first install and went very smoothly. Usually doesn't 😂
They already make insulated boxes
I did the same with half metal studs leaving enough room for wiring and insulation. No burn hazard.
