Is that 4 containers together? How big is the shed?

Sweet. More phots please. Exterior photos would be nice. How did you seal the roof?

Smart getting those tall containers. I have an 8 foot tall one and I had to fold my ROPS to get into it.

I guess those containers are quick and easy, but around here, they are about $2000 each. At that rate, it would be a good start on a real shed. I could never see the long term advantage in containers.

The advantage is cost, no construction, and no rodents. My shipping containers are the only structures I have ever owned that are mouse proof. I would not want them in my yard but for farm storage they are almost ideal. I have a old barn with a lean to but I had quit parking my tractor under it because of rodents.

I paid a grand for a 40 foot container that I store a bunch of stuff in. It has vents on the roof to let the hot air out and vents at the floor to let the cooler air in. This keeps everything dry in there. It's bug proof, rodent proof and probably fire proof. I've moved it a few times, and will probably move it at lease one more time. Being able to push it where you want it, when you want to move it, have proven to be very useful as my plans evolve for my land.
