Lean to on shipping container

When your shed or other storage building no longer provides enough room, you can add additional storage if you add a lean-to onto a shed. If the existing shed is structurally sound and has an exterior wall to which you can attach your...

Is your garage filled with so much stuff that your car barely fits? Or do you park outside because you don’t have a garage? You’re not alone. Storage space is a challenge for many Americans. Exposing vehicles and other equipment to harsh weather can be costly. But with today’s high construction costs, building a garage is also expensive. That’s why some do-it-yourselfers are building shipping container garages. Using shipping containers to build a garage is cheaper, faster, and easier than…

As the barn project nears completion, I won't be able to use it for my workshop much longer- basically, I'm being evicted! So I built a shed off the north side of the cargo container using all the lumber salvaged from our recent deconstruction projects. To keep it qualified as a temporary structure (and I use that term rather loosely since it is likely to be here for several years), I secured the support posts with earth anchors, then built gabions (stone cribbing) around each one.

You can never have too many shelves. A while back, I built some shelves for the end of my shipping container. Recently, I’ve built hanging shelves for the side of my shipping container - and then built some for our church’s shipping container as well!

The best view I have in my life (besides blood relatives and good friends) is outside my windows. The next-best view I have in my life is everything inside my windows..........and a whole lot of that is due to my ex-landlord, friend and MULTI-talented artist Ken Richardson. From the first cup of coffee in the morning (in a pottery cup that he made in his shop and fired in his backyard kiln) to the bed I sleep in every night....he has designed and crafted more good things in my…

Now that the access road is complete, I can start construction of the shipping container cabin. The first thing to be done is to have the shipping containers delivered to my site. The access road was specifically made wide enough for the 40 foot and 20 foot containers to be able to be driven through to the open field and placed in the appropriate location. First the 40 foot container was delivered. The driver did an excellent job in placing it exactly where I wanted it. After the driver…

Shipping Container Carport and Storage Idea I've been wanting to write this post for a while now because I've already had my shipping container carport and storage up for more than a year. We moved
