Making a barn out of shipping containers. Any ideas?

Here is Eddie Walker's thread when he built is container barn/home. I am sure that he could give you some pointers.

I checked out his thread, awesome build! I filled up my 40 footer yesterday with the spoils of my recent divorce. I sold the house (we were building) 3 weeks ago and had the garage filled with my things from the marital home we sold 2 years ago. Glad to have my stuff moved and stored for the final time. I'm permanently on the farm not going anywhere til I get planted in the ground.

I lived in a container for a couple months. A hole cut in the side for an AC unit, a little carpentry inside made for a pretty sweet hooch. And with a couple rows of sandbags on top it'll even survive a mortar round! lol

Any fresh ideas guys and gals?

For what it's worth I have a 40 Foot hi-top that I successful insulated with a coating of gloss white paint, internal sarking and a couple of banks of small computer fans for witdrawing the hot air that builds up between the ceiling sarking and roof. If anyone wants details I can provide a more elaborate post.

It cost only $300 to do (aside from the solar power rig) and allows the container to be easily moved in the future, something an awning or separate roof prohibits. The container sits on concrete blocks, 4, one in each corner.

I just got one 40' delivered and waiting on guy to find another to match it, Plan is to separate then about 30' and put a roof over both for a shed/storage kinda like this.


Set mine in the edge of a 40 acre soybean field.

I like that idea as well, I have the 40 double door and two 20s that'll butt back to back on the opposite side.
