Keep a long rope on top of the canopy,if it snows a lot you can both walk on the containers and drag the rope along the canopy. It will take the snow off
Liked, great idea! I've seen videos of that rope trick on sloped, house roofs before. Disclosure: I have spent almost zero time living in winter conditions like this. Please correct me if I'm wrong. 1. If most of the snow from the canopy ends up on top of the cargo containers, it could quickly become hard to walk on it to pull the rope. So they may need a longer rope that'll reach the far sides of both shipping containers. 2. I understand the strength of arches, but I'm a little concerned about the several thousands of pounds of snow that may eventually be resting on top of the canopy. I wouldn't want to be under there if the canopy collapses. 3. Also, is it less likely for the snow to slide off this canopy, versus a sloped roof? Nevertheless, I'm a big fan of Meg, this channel, and my first time seeing this canopy between two shipping containers.
Yep 👍🏼 Many of Building and container delivery trucks have gone to those remote control 🎛️ trailers. What I think 🤔 is a cool invention is those outbuilding delivery companies have that remote control building mover. It's a little machine looks like a miniature Bull dozer on tracks much like a skid steer. Very cool machine on tracts to put buildings in precise spots & not destroy people's yards and properties. Technology & innovation has came a very long ways 😁👍🏼
Meg and Mike, your positive energy is refreshing as you tackle erecting the shipping container cover system. This cover will help protect your RV, CAT skid steer and other equipment. Merry Christmas and many blessings to you great folks.
I would highly recommend getting those shipping containers off the ground. 6 inches minimum and a foot would be better. I'd use solid concrete blocks about a foot square/cube. One on each corner and 2 or 4 more in the center or thirds.
@@snippetsordinarylife All the above. You should also put skirting on at least three sides of each container to keep the cold wind from going underneath it. Especially if they have any heating in them.
@bradyusko6333 First thing I thought of as I watched was at least 4 large diameter pressure treated beams across the width are needed underneath the containers. The water will rust out the metal underneath eventually and the floor will also rot and fall apart but would take years to do so. Excellent Team work by both of them putting it all together!
That's awesome to hear, thank you Steve! We're so glad you're enjoying the videos! Thanks for being here and joining us on this adventure! We appreciate you!
What a beautiful piece of fresh air you two are , every time I watch you both you remind me of what can be achieved with a positive attitude, love , support and brains . Your both amazing people and have brightened up my year incredibly, thanks, God bless from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Oh thank you so much!! 🥹That is so kind. We're so glad you're enjoying the videos and are grateful to have you join us on this adventure!!! Hope you have a wonderful holiday season and Happy New Year!! 😊
Open the doors of the other container and ramp and pack gravel up to about an inch shy of floor level and you have another garage space too. Lots of room and contents will add to anchor weight. At least until you have other plans for the space. Just a thought. Fill er up.
It’s fascinating watching you guys as you take on these monumental task’s, I applaud on how well you get along and read each other, I’m telling you, that’s a huge added plus for you that you can do that, not everyone can, no matter how much they may love each other. Good luck you guys and have a wonderful new year ahead!
A wonderful achievement you guys getting the container roof up by yourselves. - Superbly done. If you get winds in your valley, you might want to shift some heavy stuff from the workshop container over the to new empty container to help weigh it down to prevent the whole roof becoming a sail if the wind gets a hold of it. Also, a fitted tarp hung at the back end of the roof and tied to the container ends will help to keep you sheltered and protected from any through wind flow, making a pleasant place to live underneath! I love watching you two accomplish things with such enthusiasm and joy. Merry Christmas from a cool, snowfree, and hopefully warming summer down under in NZL, David
Actually, a fitted tarp to cover one or both ends of the new canopy roof would likely have to be attached at several points along the canopy's gable end arch structure, which would subject the arch it was attached to to withstand both the dead load of the gable end tarp as well as any lateral loads from wind acting against the gable end tarp, loads the arch is not likely designed to withstand. Had the gable end arches been designed to withstand those loads, it seems like the manufacturer of the canopy kit would have offered such a gable end tarp as an option or perhaps had another model available that included a closed gable end, no doubt with heavier gable end arches and heavier bolts securing it to the container roof. As the canopy is currently installed, the roof material will be subject to some uplift wind forces as wind travels thru the covered space below, but that will be somewhat offset by that same wind traveling over the upper surface of the canopy. Being as the homestead is located in a valley, and prevailing winds normally travel up or down valleys rather than across the width of the valley, and the fact that the structure is currently roughly aligned parallel to the assumed prevailing wind direction, the canopy as installed really shouldn't be subject to much in the way of lateral wind forces. Uplift forces from wind are significantly less than lateral forces and much easier to design resistance to than lateral forces are. I speak as an architect who sneaked into the profession via the back door of civil/structural engineering nearly 50 years ago, so yes, while the current installation may in fact create a bit of a wind tunnel effect, at least the canopy structure is designed to withstand that. Lastly, modifying the canopy in ANY way would also no doubt completely negate any warranty the manufacturer has provided, so it would be a good idea for the buyers to reach out to the manufacturer prior to making any modifications. Read the buyer's agreement carefully!
@@loragunning5394 These container covers come with fitted ends as an option. You can get a full curtain with a fabric door, or just the gable end that comes down to the top of the containers. They can handle the weight.
Nice to see one of these put up. They look pretty forgiving for container placement and leveling. Thanks for sharing. look forward to see how it fares the winter.
This is impressive. The concept is great and you work so well together and complete the job. I've never seen a cover like this and I really like it. I also liked that there was no bickering between you during the assembly. I just joined your channel and look forward to watching many more of your videos. Thankyou for sharing.
Sweei, You guys really made that shelter installation look easy! The No Name manufacturer of the enclosure should pay you an advertising fee for installing their product.
Absolutely she/they should've reached out to the manufacturer and said Hey 👋🏼 we have a YT channel with 100K + Subscribers and we're needing this shelter. If you'll give us One Free of Charge We will advertise it for you on our installation video and periodically mention it in our videos. We will also keep it in the description list of products we use on our channel of all of our videos going forward. This way people who see it on our videos can look you up in our products description with your link to contact you for purchase and others can also buy this same product from you. They could've told the people they bought it from it would be tax deductible for a donation for advertising or charity however they do it in their country. But with 100K subs they can now start reviewing products for companies, & getting products for free for the channel advertising of those products. So yep 👍🏼😁👍🏼 you're right they should've reached out to them to do an advertisement deal in exchange for a free or extremely discounted item and using it as well as advertising it for the company.
That container delivery truck was sick as hell!!! I love how useful the CAT skid steer is, what a versatile machine it is. Good job you two, you did a great job!
These must be quite popular. Curtis, of CEE in Australia did one of these too. VERY clever, as it gives you outdoor sheltered-ish work space, as well as secure storage for tools, workbenches and supplies. NEATO trick with the hammer! I gotta try that sometime!
I'd love to see an update to see how this handles wind and a snow load. I am also attempting to build a similar shelter on top of 20ft containers. Merry Christmas to you as well.
@squirrelrelocator I highly recommend putting cross members on this tubing structure because there is none and enclosing the ends with would structure would also beef it up. Could be dangerous snow clearing this roof because of falling hazard. Thin Gauge tube thickness on the cheaper structures will easily collapse from snow. I know of an acreage in their area many years ago that had 50 or more propagation greenhouses collapse from snow load one winter because they used the thin gauge tubing structures. The following one at Ritchie Brothers auctions look like it has a stronger design. 2025 HIlls Industrial 504026 x 40 ft x 26 ft Container Storage Canopy
Your travel accommodation trailer was a big help for you both installing your canopy. Plus you really scored with there not being a breath of wind as well. I can imagine it would have be a total nightmare even in a small slightly windy day. 😀👏👏👏
Another massive step completed! You guys are a real inspiration with the hard work and humour you put into the videos. Hope you have a great Christmas!❤❤❤
Another fantastic episode. This was the highlight of my Boxing Day viewing or TV. You two are so good together on this project and that structure with the shipping containers was just beautiful. Loved the way the container was delivered which was incredible in itself. Would love to know the sort of temperatures your working in during this winter. Looking forward to the next episode and Merry Christmas, or rather happy holidays in the US.
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to you too! I'm so glad you enjoyed this project! That's a good idea with noting the temperatures! We're sitting at just above freezing during the day and -2C overnight right now. 😊
Nice job! Other than the conditions you were working in, it didn't seem too hard to do. What a difference! Happy New Year! and Congratulations on reaching 100K! 🥂
In your snowy area, i would put a wooden pillar under every 2. arch. My neighbour had an agricultural "tunnel" in the first winter was some 25cm wet snow. 3 of the 8 arches bent and broke. Under the remaining 5 arches he put 5 by 8 cm vertical wood pillars, no problems anymore. Greeting from France, have a good new year!😊
Looks great , now you can store your machines out of the snow {perhaps a small ramp into the new container for other machinery} and have dry access to your travel trailer. Have a great new year , from a hot mid summer here in South Africa.
What a great cover design. I had no idea something like that existed. It looked like it would be a six person job but you two made it look easy. Well done. A great Christmas gift video to all your supporters. If only you had time to string lights on it to put it in the spirit of the season. Happy New Year to you both and enjoy the journey
They are pretty cool!! And honestly I also thought this was going to be next to impossible with 2 people lol, but it went pretty smoothly!! Hope you have a wonderful holiday and Happy New Year to you to! We're grateful to have you on this journey with us 😊!
Amazing! You guys are a great team. I know I would have looked at all those parts and cried! It looks great and I bet your trailer will be much warmer inside too. ❤
I'm in South Australia, in winter the temp gets to around 5C, I tend to stay inside, your weather looks a bot too fresh for me!!! Kudos for doing a great job.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Meg and Mike! When I was driving to Alberta in 2019 I saw a lot of farms in Manitoba and Saskatchewan that had old equipment in the fields. Some even had a cache of Chevrolet or GMC trucks from the 70's and 80's!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too @HighSierra1500!! Ya these shelters are soo popular we figured they must be worth it! We'll keep you posted on how it survives the snow!
I’m new to your channel and I’ve watched backwards through your videos and I love the recent videos with you both working on things and the progress you are making on everything. You guys are an inspiration!
Merry Christmas Meg and Mike. WOW Excellent nice watching you two working together there, and a quick install too! Took me two seasons to do a all steel SM quanset building by myself. We do suffer out here with a day or two a year with 50 mph winds so we had to go with the heavier building. Great Job you two!😃🤓😎🤠🎄🏆

That delivery truck is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while.
Yep 👍🏼 Many of Building and container delivery trucks have gone to those remote control 🎛️ trailers. What I think 🤔 is a cool invention is those outbuilding delivery companies have that remote control building mover. It's a little machine looks like a miniature Bull dozer on tracks much like a skid steer. Very cool machine on tracts to put buildings in precise spots & not destroy people's yards and properties. Technology & innovation has came a very long ways 😁👍🏼
Very cool!!
@CC-Rider4564 You're thinking of a Shed Mule. Very innovative little machine.
@Incaensio And the truck driver was damn good as well.
YES INDEED, I AGREE! I’ve never seen anything like that, wow what an engineering marvel that was. Loved watching it in action! ❤
Meg and Mike, your positive energy is refreshing as you tackle erecting the shipping container cover system. This cover will help protect your RV, CAT skid steer and other equipment. Merry Christmas and many blessings to you great folks.
Thank you so much Bill! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!
I would highly recommend getting those shipping containers off the ground. 6 inches minimum and a foot would be better. I'd use solid concrete blocks about a foot square/cube. One on each corner and 2 or 4 more in the center or thirds.
Rust? Flooding?
@@snippetsordinarylife All the above. You should also put skirting on at least three sides of each container to keep the cold wind from going underneath it. Especially if they have any heating in them.
Or on concrete pads
You know I was going to say the same thing because over time the floors are going to rot out
@bradyusko6333 First thing I thought of as I watched was at least 4 large diameter pressure treated beams across the width are needed underneath the containers. The water will rust out the metal underneath eventually and the floor will also rot and fall apart but would take years to do so. Excellent Team work by both of them putting it all together!
I could watch these two work together all day. I was impressed at how easy they made that look.
What a glorious couple you are. Every time I watch you my faith in humanity takes a very welcome upturn.
Thank you that's very kind!
Being rural, watching my neighbors occasionally accomplish something is some of our most interesting days.
Awesome!!
Loving how much value you've gotten out of the skid steer - certainly a great buy and with selling the other unit, it's more than paid for itself
Absolutely! We're so happy with it, it's been a lifesaver!
It has been a pleasure watching the two of you put your place together. Reminds me of my life 50 years ago.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Meg and Mike! When I was driving to Alberta in 2019 I saw a lot of farms in Manitoba and Saskatchewan that had old equipment in the fields. Some even had a cache of Chevrolet or GMC trucks from the 70's and 80's!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too @HighSierra1500!! Ya these shelters are soo popular we figured they must be worth it! We'll keep you posted on how it survives the snow!

Merry Christmas Meg and Mike. WOW Excellent nice watching you two working together there, and a quick install too! Took me two seasons to do a all steel SM quanset building by myself. We do suffer out here with a day or two a year with 50 mph winds so we had to go with the heavier building. Great Job you two!😃🤓😎🤠🎄🏆
Merry Christmas to you too and thank you so much!!
