Which BYC member scares you?

Thick, corrugated steel. As long as it doesn’t come off the ground or get flipped over, you’re safe.

Being squared off and nowhere for the wind to catch it would be highly unlikely to flip over. I mean I know it can but what we get highly unlikely. Tornado alley may have to worry about it more. And trees falling here during a hurricane that container would be alot stronger than 2x4s

Absolutely.

Water wouldn't seep into them if they're sitting in flood water?

You are such a Debbie Downer. We’re trying to be positive here, Mare.

Yeah water would get in at least from the door. Put it on a slab. No difference than a house. Or don't wear socks

i think they’re about 8-9ft tall. 3 high would be a REALLY tall workshop. but a cool use for them nonetheless.

i looked into having a greenhouse built out of a 20 footer for my wife, as i had access to some surplus containers through work, but getting it here and prepped and…and…was more than i was willing to spend.

it’s gonna be cheaper to have one constructed on site for her.

8 foot 6. 17 foot walls and a pitched roof would probably work OK. I have a mixed bag of things I want to use it for from wrencing on cars to a photography studio. A multi level space is pretty much a given, though maybe not 3 levels.

Wayy stronger. Solid steel and it's not going anywhere. It can be strapped just for safe keeping. The metal is very thick and solid. I've been in several. Even the door is like shutting a vault or walk in safe lol

one of my tenants put 4-5 of them in one of my yards for secure tool storage. pretty clever way of keeping things safe

 

[WallyG74]

I am positive that water would definitely seep in.
