So…the new range needs some storage and what better excuse to buy your own shipping container! So…we have been shopping.
I have learned a few things:
Most containers are 8’6”.
The Godzilla container. Significant discount. Welded up. Not a bad job.
A High Cube or HC is 9’6”. Which is handy.
-
- Big container. Big Forklift.
-
- Will the roof hold people?
The tops of shipping containers are not very sturdy.
Yes it will. But not sturdy. I expect 2 grown men would fall through.
So I anticipate building a platform on top of one.
-
- Deck Option.
-
- Covered roof option.
Most containers are made in China.
-
- Inside of Godzilla. See Chinese script?
-
- Actually pretty clean.
Also…sometimes containers get damaged and can be sold at a discount.
I call this one the Godzilla: meaning Godzilla musta ripped a hole in it.
We pretty much want one that is clean on the inside.
