- This is episode 5 of our shipping container bike shop & cafe build. The security door is finally complete and we hung it on the container. Look at Episode 3 for a bit more detail on how I build the door.
I like it I want to do something like this to I love what you've done🥰
Just do it. Its easier than it looks.
Enjoy your short videos I contacted the company that you mentioned about a shipping container they have emailed me back give me some photos and should have my own container with the next couple of months thanks so much for the videos and a great company to work with. By the way I live in California USA.
Great videos, excellent work on security door.
Thanks Michael
Very well done ! Thanks for sharing
Great vid 👍🏾
Are there any openings after you shut the door.? I mean on the top or the bottom. I did not see any filler wood
Yeah about a 100mm gap. I don't need it suuuuper secure. You could close that gap with some steel or extra timber
How to make an unsecured security door 😂
How about welding, instead of mounting a low grade material like wood on steel?
Nice.....I want to do a slider on my 40' project.May attempt a video.
+Nick Henton Would love to see it Nick.
you have encouraged me a great deal-Thank you
Hey Julian,
Can a container be “shortened “ say making a 30 ft out of a 40 ft, and if so how to maintain structural integrity?
Thank you in advance,

I guess you could. It would be a big job but it's all pretty modular. Lots of cutting, lots of welding!
You could, mainly using an angle grinder for the cutting. The floors are not steel sheet, anyway, but lots of C shaped steel beams about every 20 inches with wood fixed on top. The wood sheets are treated to stop them rotting, so not suited to human living inside long term without ripping them out. The strength is provided by the heavy steel at the corners, so you'd have to include those. Shipping containers are made of thin COR-TEN steel no more than 2mm thick but the corrugations add the strength, though not enough to bury them without loads of added strengthening, plus good waterproofing though.
If COR-TEN steel is welded with ordinary MIG wire you do lose some of the anti-corrosion protection at the welds, but many don't want the expense of buying specialist MIG wire. Welding supplies manufacturers have stated that some copper etc. from the steel still mixes from the parent metal so welds are not totally mild steel even if the special MIG wire is not used to weld, though that's what they advise despite the expense. The roofs can collapse or bow as they come if more than about a foot or so of earth is put on them so don't do it without strengthening. Same applies to the sides with earth pressure.
Great way to re purpose that cutout! I don't know if you checked the prices of containers with side openings, but they are CRAZY expensive! You made your own for a fraction of the cost :)

you look a bit like Jack Black :)
Shot bro what a compliment
All you need is a sawzall
