Polished concrete floors is an awesome addition to the buil great choice 👍
We agree!
I am working to create a Butterflyy Garden and Doll Museum and we will be using shipping containers. I am learning watching videos and I thank You for sharing!
good luck with the project! we would love to see it when your done!
Concrete floors and even concrete countertops are always nice. You do good work. Keep up the good work.
Did you reinforce the roof underneath before you poured? If so, any pictures or videos? I have heard they will crush under pressure of wet concrete.
Super excited to see the results
I'm going to do my double garage concrete roof top, nice video
so excited to see the finish product!! It is going to look amazing I'm sure!!
well this is interesting...never heard of using shipping containers with concrete before.
Nice video man, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Wow! Very cool! You Rock!
Great video thank you for sharing. Tell me something:
At 2:15 how thick is the concrete on top of the shipping-containers ? Do you know the weight of the concrete, per 30m2 container size ?
I have a container house project very similar to this. What reinforcement did you have to put in place to pour the concrete on the roof?
Thanks so much for the video! Polished concrete will look awesome! Interesting to know you put the pipe to house the electrical you cannot put in the ceiling. Of course, had to add the rebar always before pouring concrete yet glad to see it in the video. Excited to see the finished product...yeah Tx does get chilly yet mostly hot and humid!
San Antonio only gets a few weeks of cold and the occasional historic ice storm and power grid failure.
Wondering what kind of added support was needed for the concrete roof? There are literally no videos about building rooftop decks when using more than one container.
I hope that was built on a self supporting frame and not on the container itself.
is this applicable to the walls of the container as well? like putting in rebars externally and internally then pour concrete?
Id cry real tears if you made a video on exterior costs for 2 40ft containers. Similar to your video where you estimated and had the dollar amount on interior work not included labor. real tears .. :' ')
Funny you say that it’s actually on his way
Appreciate the video, just a quick question, will it be safe to not remove the planks (Heard it was full of toxic chemicals, I'm thinking that it might go through concrete since its porous)? Looking to probably pour cement for a future project too.
Thanks!
I know nothing of construction, but ive seen many videos where the mesh is raised up an inch or two. Was yours raised and just wasnt visible to us?
What is the name of the foam applied prior to concrete?
Thank you so much
Did you need internal support when pouring the concrete slab for the roof?
I will be using concrete as well in my shop containers, do you need rebar if you are using concrete with fiber?
inspirational! Did you have to cut out the floor of the containers to make this possible?
Shout out from minnesota. I just bought a small plot of land up north would love to work with you
are there any concerns of future cracking? I'm designing a container home for a couple who wants polished concrete floors and I'm concerned about the future movement of the containers causing cracks.
Josh, I'm interested to hear the results of your project. I believe lightweight concrete would be best for a proect like this with a high air content. This slab in the video also was quite thick which may help resist cracking. One thing that I've seen done before is to place a hard neoprene liner of durometer strength 60 around the edge between slab and conex box. This will provide some help against cracking during moving. Lightweight concrete with rebar and a neoprene liner with as little movement as possible is the best option.
@@pajiad191 unfortunately they went a different direction entirely and didn't do a container home. I spoke with a structural engineer who thought some expansion/relief joints in the concrete would help
U in minnesota I looking for a shipping container home too on my land. 30ace
For the concrete deck up top did you have to put and kind of slip on it for better drainage? And also did you need a beam on the inside for support of the concrete up top?
As long as they reinforced the window and Door openings on the container no extra support would be needed. These containers are stacked up to 9 high all the time and they are usually full of goods(gross weight of 67,000lbs for each container) 3in concrete floor should be nothing in comparison.
@@randybobandy9828 Only the corners and floor are designed to take a load, not the roof or walls. They are not designed to take much of a load and are meant for shear values.
Thanks for the video.
Can you tell us how are the things after 1 year? I am thinking to build a house using 7-8 HQ 40ft containers and I am wondering about cut outs (doors windows) and if I need to add concrete or not. Mostly how safe the house will be.
You put concrete on roof for being waterproof because you assemble 2 contener ?
We wanted a roof top deck but it also is water proofing, but it was water tight before
I may have missed it, but are you building this for yourself as a prototype or for a customer?
I am actually building the main house for myself and then the 40ft guest house will be our prototype people can buy :)
@@ContainingLuxury Cool. So you're moving to Texas, perhaps. Lol. Welcome, pardner.
I would like to know exactly what was use to do the deck and could the same thing be use on the outside of the container
Hello. I’m a tuck driver n I want to live in a container home in about 4 years. I have to figure out where I want to live, I’m thinking Kansas, Missouri, or Texas. I’m wondering would I be able to meet with u on the plan I have in my head. It consist of 2 40 ft n 1 20 ft containers. Thank u
Nice work man,on the inside you have put concrete on wood?
Wow, I would’ve thought the roof would’ve needed a reinforcement of some sort for all the weight
Kinda does. It supports weight on the corner posts, nowhere else.
I assume it solidified and at least spreads the load on the edges instead of the fragile roof area.
It actually does have reinforcement... we welded angle iron across the top and then it’s a lightweight concrete mix, about 1/2 the weight of standard
1:30 you say "it will have 3" of concrete so it will be very well isolated" , is concrete a good thermal isolation ? I read everywhere that it's bad isolation, it's very hot or very cold. I read that the foam has air in it, so the air is the best isolation, but rock or concrete no..
Could you please elaborate on that, maybe on a video where you review what was done with some experience on it and it you're happy with that solution, thank you a mil
In simple terms, insulation is about heat transfer and good insulation will transfer heat slowly.
Concrete is a poor insulator but it does provide a lot of thermal mass which is useful for storing heat.
It might help to imagine heating a concrete brick on a stove and dropping it in a bucket of water compared with a (much larger) foam brick that is the same weight as the concrete brick.
Properly combining insulation and thermal mass is the real trick, a super-insulated structure will remain at a fairly constant internal temperature and a concrete slab can be used to passively store and release the heat throughout the day and night cycles.
If the natural temperature is too hot or cold you should try to directly heat or cool the non-insulated components - this might be with a fireplace in cold climates (heating a concrete slab and bricks) or large open windows in hot climates (skipping the insulated exterior walls and cooling the non-insulated humans, lol.)
I imagine covering the roof of a metal structure in concrete is not a particularly effective approach to passive heating and cooling.
If I'm not mistaken, it is lightened concrete (cement, sand, water and expanded polystyrene), it does not have stone, so the weight is 50% less than traditional concrete, it must also have much greater thermal insulation due to the expanded polystyrene . I think it is a very good idea.
I'm confused how much did it cost ?
How did you support the roof for the patio pour?
is that a cell tower?
Can spray foam be used on the roof if it is not covered or protected from the sun?
Sounds like a bad idea.
Why did the home-owner want concrete in those places? Just his choice?
Updateeee
Where in MN are you from ? I’m from owatonna
Wayzata and Plymouth area!
My son was born in International Falls. People played outside in t-shirts when it was 20 degrees. I was glad I was pregnant and had my personal thermostat on high.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🛎
muchas gracias!
Update video?
Did you add anything as structural support for the patio on the roof?
Why a concrete roof? Seems like an unnecessary expense
@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom yes I've seen decks done on the containers homes a more economical. With decking.....
Will the top of the container take the weight of concrete without damage?
you are so handsome
what state is this being built in?
Got some land down outside of San Antonio Texas in the hill country
Aha! I thought that was Texas!
@@ContainingLuxury Thats crazy, I'm planning to build a container home in SA!
Keep hogging bro!
