@@ashleymarie7452 I’m a fraud investigator fraud investigator and your comment set off all the BS alarms. 🚨 We do not randomly comment on youtube like this. There’s nothing wrong with this vid for us to investigate in the first place. It’s just a legit promotional ad that is well done and informative.
I sold shipping containers from home online. Most Craigslist stuff is a lie. WWT (wind and water tight) are garbage, and Cargo Worthy ones aren’t that much better either. If you really want a container get a 1 Trip! Yes they are more money but you will be much happier I promise. My suggestion is to fight for a discount and do not buy one until you get it and use a credit card to protect yourself or pay cash on delivery.
Good video! It should help people looking to buy... But, You should have mentioned that if people think these are super secure, they are NOT.. anyone with a diamond blade saw can get into them in less then 90 seconds, by cutting off the lock hasp... OR, taking 3 minutes, to cut a man size hole in the side. I know this from personal experience of having mine broken into twice.
Great video! Thanks for promoting the industry in the proper Professional way. Pointing out the scammers and their schemes is a much needed public service. Best of success to you and your company!
Because I just went through this, I figure I'd share. Pricing is such a closely guarded secret in the industry. You know the containers simply must not cost the sellers very much. The markup is crazy from what I've seen. The current price in Colorado 20' standard, 1-time use = $4000+tax&delivery. 20' double-door 1-time use = $5800ish, 40' HC Standard 1-time use = $5200ish, 40 HC double-door 1-time use, $7800ish 😳😂 used units are roughly 40% less across the board.
I just subscribed. Watched you are Canadian preppers interview. I appreciate your containers your knowledge of them, the flexibility and durability. Most of all I appreciate how much you smile. It gives hope and encouragement. Thank you. I’m looking forward to learning more about the containers.
Canadian prepper sent me over and I also sent your link to my son. What great videos, I’m learning a lot fro you. I wish you were in our area of the United States ❤
Thank you. The locks and handle heights and ease of opening on the 1 Trip makes them a lot better in my view. Hopefully I'll find a 20" HC in a good as condition as the conatiner in your video. Learned a lot. Sadly I am 1,000's of miles away.
Howdy! Watching you on Canadian Prepper right now! Just subbed! I’m excited for discovering you! We have two shipping containers on our property that I would love to convert into a root cellar or bunker. 💪
I would want two like a couple of 20-footers that allow access in-between the walls, housing stuff on one side and a workshop on the other, I currently live in a single-car garage and only use the one side really as the newer garbage cans use up the rest. The workshop is just for tig welding. Small spaces are just the cat's meow. They're pretty much "Zombie can" proof and they have a military feel/vibe to them, I don't like the wood neither for walls nor drywall. I want something I can clean and fast because of simplicity. I'm liken those steel studs and spring nuts 🤪 being able to adjust for life as it changes, very good features.
I have a question, I live in Northern Minnesota, we have hot humid summers, and cold snowy winters with extreme temps. I just bought a 40' one trip container from a local supplier. I plan on storing a 1969 rust free classic pickup truck in it throughout the winter months. I've recently heard some people mention the containers will build condensation on the inside with changes in temperature and humidity. Do I have to worry about this causing a serious rust issue for storing the old vehicle inside, or what can I do to prevent or mitigate such issue from developing? Thanks in advance, love your videos! So informative!
You may be able to insulate it to prevent condensation, I can't remember the techniques but they do similar things for underground homemade fallout shelters
I'm also in Northern MN with two shipping containers, one 10' and one 20' placed on 3" cement blocks over a gravel base. with about 2" of air between the gravel and the the floor of each container. What I learned is to have a two vents on the 10' container, one low and one high for Summer ventilation, and similar vents on the 20' as well. In addition, I had to place a 20 mil pond liner over the gravel, under each container to prevent moisture from wicking up through the floor. I went with 20 mil to try to keep wildlife from burrowing under the container. Before doing this I had a lot of condensation moisture in the containers.I found this to take care of the extreme temperature changes each day and each season in MN. I'm very happy with the results. @@BallstinkBaron
Wouldn't you want to expand in Ontario and Quebec for delivery? Toronto, Montreal and Quebec city are big markets. I suppose you could also consider Ottawa as a big market.
I guess you only operate in Canada? Tried searching your web but appears only for Canada. Thank you good Information. The prices as I have seen are all over the map!
I was just looking to see how it should be done if I get a lot to settle on. I'm glad theres people that would do it for work Its so much work for a homeowner.
Also be careful on those sites on Facebook or craigslist etc. The website name could be slightly misspelled and if you are not careful you think you're dealing with the reputable company but actually sending money to a scam artist.

Very, very helpful, thank you! BTW if the floors are wood, can't a determined rodent chew through eventually?

@@ericblust5923 Thanks for the info! I wonder if "expanded-metal" lath would help? It is what's attached to a house to apply the stucco too. Home Depot sells it. It could be put into the ground a certain amount, then run up to the bottom edge or so, to prevent digging under. Do you have a wood floor in yours? Is it wood underneath? Any signs of rot? Thanks again for your comment!
Everything is dry, the area drains well, no wood rot, I don't see how it could get wet in there, I think I am going to try and stuff more stones under it and around it to keep critters out, I plan to move it at some point.
@@ericblust5923 I understand! If they dig out the rocks, you will be able to tell, no doubt. Sounds like a good plan! Thanks for sharing your experience with me!
@@CuriousEarthMan also, I picked a high spot, so even if it floods, oh well.. I don't know what you are trying to do with the container... I use it for temporary storage... But, if I wanted a structure to live in, out in the woods, I would build a pole barn style building and not use a container. I don't foresee treated poles coated in tar and completely incased in concrete, going any where or rotting in my life time, building with wood is easy for me, but for others, I have seen guys buy big sheds from the Amish and put in a wood stove, drive a well and an outhouse and you have all you need to live ...
I think the cost depends on where you live…I just saw a Colorado 40’ OT HC WWT is going for around $8k…. they are less than $3k Delivered where I live. That’s a huge difference.
Military discounts are typically an American thing. We're in Western Canada. I would gladly give an armed forces vet a deal but it's not a big thing around our service area. My guess is you're too far away to buy from us unfortunately
In colorado , Healdworks, Sales containers with veteran and first responder discounts. Outstanding company and honest. I actually deliever the containers. I have worked for chuck for 4 years and could not be happier. Little pricey but solid honest place.
In the Chicago area with the largest inland port in North America and can't find any nonscammer or outrageous priced delivery options. Want a 20ft HC delivered off a alley. Some delivery quotes are half the price of a crap can.
Love your vids and communication. I’m in San Antonio and considering ordering around 100 1-trips. What would you recommend for someone buying in bulk, in terms of saving money on the big order, when compared to buying just one at a time?
Yes, on hard surfaces or compacted gravel. No, in loose soils. It will pile up in the cross members and bend them. Do this in winter when the ground is frozen then you'll be fine.
I bought two 6m containers in Mongolia. The world is metric. Get used to it. I live half way up a mountain, off-road. I was quite impressed that they were able to bring them up. We had already had a flat spot excavated and I wanted the containers with opposite doors in a line (back to back). They brought a flatbed truck with a crane and lifted them in place. It was quite impressive. The scariest part for the driver was getting up to our property. The truck is very top heavy with a container on and traversing a hill was tricky. I think I paid $5k for two containers delivered.
I can see where a container with doors on both ends would be handy in my eyes. Talk about air flow! That would be a VERY handy thing in my hot/humid area. ESPECIALLY if a person where to use such a thing for a place to sleep but no A/C exists. (think less than ideal developed areas)
Great video, very informative! Coming from a heavy duty mechanic, you left the sticker on your tools....lol they don't make you look more credible....the information is valuable enough!
i bought 2 from wuwi shipping containers. they were open from nearby areas of US. and they give me a reasonable price for 2 containers. look for Jayson or John they were great
Great information! I wish I could have bought a container from your business. Honest, and ethical, and you do great work! I bought used, but "refurbished", with a roll up door and two of those spinning type of vents. They pretty much just slapped some paint on it, calling it refurbished. It wasn't freshly painted. The first thing I had to do was remove all of the dried out, chipping caulk, and recaulk, all around the bottom, and at the seams of the wood floor. One section of floor is a metal panel, and with the old caulk chipping away, you could see day light. I opened the doors once, and couldn't get them closed by myself. Had to get friends (guys) to get them closed (should've watched them do it, but was pretty frustrated at that point). You can also see day light in areas when the doors are closed. Don't really need to use the doors, so at some point I will figure out a way to seal those gaps from the inside. It's empty now, and I need to clean up all of the dust and sand that has blown in, probably from the roll up door the most. At some point I would like to build in a small room (that will stay cleaner) so I can use it to camp in during the winter (it's on property in the California desert). Unfortunately, one of those spinning vents is in the area, and I'll need to figure out what to do about that. I was really excited to see the new window frames you featured recently. They seam to be a lot simpler to put together and install. Thank you so much for all of the great information y'all provide in your videos. And thanks for letting me vent a little 😏 Your friend from Yuma AZ ❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎
You likely don't have brush seal around your roll up door so the whirlybird vents are pulling the dust in - doing more harm than good. We could sell you a brush seal kit that would help filter the intake air a bit but no promises on how to fix other people's poor products. Would need some BigAir45's down low as intake vents. Get the ones with bug screens and put a filter mesh material in them to filter the dust. If ever you need help plugging the roof hole, send us an email and I'll help come up with a solution.
Do you have an office in the Southeast? Alabama, or Georgia. Somewhere close to buy a Container from your company, because I am tired of talking to people that don't know NOTHING about Containers. Thanks, David
i have 2 20 footers but you will need to put a roof on them when it rains the water does not drain off bc of the way there made sutprised they dont tell people that
12:43 Awesome Content! 🎉 Do you have videos of before, after & during repairs? What does the process look like if the customer doesn’t mind a few dings, rust, and holes? How you cover yourself in situations like that? What locations in the 50 states do you NOT sell and/or ship to? Thank you so much for sharing! ❤
I sure wish you guys were closer! I am considering getting a one-use 20' container to store lawn equipment in. But I haven't seen anyplace locally that seems half as reputable as you guys. Not that I know much as I am almost afraid to look around here for fear of being ripped off. I am in Alabama, USA. These you are showing look great! Could a Man door be added to the side on the closed end for access? What should that cost in total, just for an idea.
I deliever containers in colorado. We do install all kinds of doors but cost is a massive factor. We use solid steel frames to continue the strength. Also when you find a container online. Don't purchase without seeing the actual container. I see people buy 1 trips online buy get used. The picture can be just generic. I have seen our ads and our contai ers on other sales site. If you get a 1 trip get pictures first before sending money, but double check the container number . It is on the side and on the door and data plate. If the pic was a wngu unit make sure the same container is delivered. There are alot of fake assholes out there. If you can't get actual pics and they want money up front, stay away.
@@jessicahupe9727 Commercial steel doors are purchased with separate doors and frames. Door frames can be ordered in a knock down configuration or welded frame depending on how the installer would install flashing to keep it waterproof Your best bet would be to visit a commercial door and hardware dealer Even at that, one who is service oriented and likes a challenge
Any idea if a surplus military modular container be certified for shipping by sea? It does not have the bronze cert placard as with most containers but several smaller placards stating shipping by military air transport or sea transport. It does have serial number markings on the outside on all four sides but there is nothing stating shipping volume but it does show net weight and possible loaded weight. It is not a standard height of 8 feet but it sits at 7 feet high. All of the container has a steel frame with the eight corner lock down castings and the walls are lightweight aluminum foam sandwich with steel studs through out it’s length.
@@TheContainerGuyTV awww Channing I hope you do soon because way things are living in a shipping container that can be fully customizable ain't looking bad at all, you seem like a genuine guy to do business with too, so if you ever build in the future I and my brother would love to see if we can get something done, just in planning stages at the moment, but you are in my top pick for sure.
Avoid a place called Container One! They delivered a totally beat up piece of junk sides all damaged and won't make it right. I was not happy with my purchase with the side walls puffed out 6 to7 inches.
WOW, I’m sorry you had such a bad experience 😑I’ve bought from Container One & they have been great to me. They came through on everything they said about the 40’ HC WWT I bought from them. Delivery was great, the driver was very helpful & knowledgeable about the container. I was told that they had a 5yr warranty on the container & the one I got, while not a one trip is In amazing condition. I’m going to order another one & build a 30’x40’ shop between them. I hope you are able to get resolution to your problem with them. Can you report it to the AG in your state? Good Luck!
@@giafontana1898 Well it sounds like you purchased a new container. I don't think there is any 5 yr warranty offered on used containers. The delivery and the driver was ok but, all they would have had to do was just be honest with me when I first raised the issue of the sides being bowed out and not claimed this was simply a "cosmetic" issue because it cannot be corrected with a coat of paint. Rust and dents are cosmetic. This condition however, is structural and cannot be corrected.
How much is a 50 foot double-wide container? Used or new, haven’t decided which would be better…. I want to use repurposed containers on my acreage once I have enough money saved up to purchase it. Decided that it would be better and last much longer to use containers instead of the traditional wooden buildings…
@@carolmaplesden916 I am doing research on what would be best for my future acreage and how much money I would need to save up for the buildings. I have already decided to use shipping containers as they last longer than wooden buildings, plus there is always a possibility that I won’t have much woodland on my acreage once I do get it so want to preserve it as much as possible
@@NadesikoRose I put the question mark there because I was interested in knowing the same thing Sounds like we are up to the same thing I am hoping to find some land here pretty soon
@@carolmaplesden916 yeah, I went to their website to find out more information but that wasn’t much help. The closest ‘branch’ they have to my location is in Winnipeg, Quebec which isn’t close at all as I am in near the Fundy area of New Brunswick. So I can’t drop by and just ask questions, I could still go to the site but not unless I plan out the trip and save up the money for it. I just entered the ‘saving money’ mode of my plans, but have several different goals for that money. I would like to travel Canada and visit several friends/family who live elsewhere in this Country while I am still able, after that I want to get some acreage and settle down. Nothing fancy or big, about 4 - 10 acres will be fine since it’s only going to be myself there. So if I can do everything possible to save money in the construction and longevity of what I build, then I will. Which is the biggest reason why I am going the shipping container route, they are cheaper in the long run and better for the environment…at least compared to the traditional wood construction.
The most important point you made in passing was to see what you are getting before you make a purchase. It's a lot of money to pay for something sight unseen.
Has anyone heard of Coatatlantic Global out of Tampa FL? They are offering a 20' container with 2 roll up doors for $2500 delivered to Fresno Ca? Does this sound to good to be true! I did call their number off thier web site but still no way to verify them...
I live in Southern Maine. Looking for a "one time use" refurbished 20 foot container. Do you support The State of Maine area? If not could lead me to a reputable dealer? Thank You
Thanks for the informative video! I know that prices vary by location, as do delivery costs, but what would prices look like for a one-trip 40' high cube vs a used (good condition) 40' high cube? Same question in re new vs used 53s?
53 foot is very hard to get. And the cost is crazy. A good used 40 is 8k in colorado. A 1 trip 40 is 10k. A good 53, if you can find one is 15k. 53 foot containers do come into sales but again very hard to find.

No, in loose soils. It will pile up in the cross members and bend them. Do this in winter when the ground is frozen then you'll be fine.
Sure would be nice if u mentioned the prices u charge and what the delivery cost???
Great video, just a petty you don't deliver to Ireland..
I bought two 6m containers in Mongolia. The world is metric. Get used to it.
I live half way up a mountain, off-road. I was quite impressed that they were able to bring them up. We had already had a flat spot excavated and I wanted the containers with opposite doors in a line (back to back). They brought a flatbed truck with a crane and lifted them in place. It was quite impressive. The scariest part for the driver was getting up to our property. The truck is very top heavy with a container on and traversing a hill was tricky.
I think I paid $5k for two containers delivered.
That's a good price. We're metric in Canada as well.
Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing.
I can see where a container with doors on both ends would be handy in my eyes. Talk about air flow! That would be a VERY handy thing in my hot/humid area. ESPECIALLY if a person where to use such a thing for a place to sleep but no A/C exists. (think less than ideal developed areas)
BTW, how can you put doors on the outside AND the inside?
wish you were in georgia !
Canadian prepper sent me too,question...are all shipping containers made with Teak plywood floors??? Thanks!
They used to be. Now some one-time-use factories are cheaping-out and using bamboo and marketing it as Eco-Bamboo to make you think it's better.
Can you present, if possible, a video featuring all of your reefers with approximate prices.
Great video, very informative! Coming from a heavy duty mechanic, you left the sticker on your tools....lol they don't make you look more credible....the information is valuable enough!
Do you deliver to Dandridge TN?
Looking for two 40’ good use with doors on both ends 😊
i bought 2 from wuwi shipping containers. they were open from nearby areas of US. and they give me a reasonable price for 2 containers. look for Jayson or John they were great
So if we're looking for a rental in Arkansas, do you refer to a local reputable service, or do you deliver from wherever you are?
Reach out to the NPSA.org for a list of local, reputable dealers
@@TheContainerGuyTV Thank you
Great information!
I wish I could have bought a container from your business. Honest, and ethical, and you do great work!
I bought used, but "refurbished", with a roll up door and two of those spinning type of vents.
They pretty much just slapped some paint on it, calling it refurbished. It wasn't freshly painted.
The first thing I had to do was remove all of the dried out, chipping caulk, and recaulk, all around the bottom, and at the seams of the wood floor. One section of floor is a metal panel, and with the old caulk chipping away, you could see day light.
I opened the doors once, and couldn't get them closed by myself. Had to get friends (guys) to get them closed (should've watched them do it, but was pretty frustrated at that point).
You can also see day light in areas when the doors are closed. Don't really need to use the doors, so at some point I will figure out a way to seal those gaps from the inside.
It's empty now, and I need to clean up all of the dust and sand that has blown in, probably from the roll up door the most.
At some point I would like to build in a small room (that will stay cleaner) so I can use it to camp in during the winter (it's on property in the California desert). Unfortunately, one of those spinning vents is in the area, and I'll need to figure out what to do about that.
I was really excited to see the new window frames you featured recently.
They seam to be a lot simpler to put together and install.
Thank you so much for all of the great information y'all provide in your videos.
And thanks for letting me vent a little 😏

You likely don't have brush seal around your roll up door so the whirlybird vents are pulling the dust in - doing more harm than good. We could sell you a brush seal kit that would help filter the intake air a bit but no promises on how to fix other people's poor products. Would need some BigAir45's down low as intake vents. Get the ones with bug screens and put a filter mesh material in them to filter the dust. If ever you need help plugging the roof hole, send us an email and I'll help come up with a solution.
I am west Tennessee do you recommend anyone in the us. Also why no conex ? I would like to see two 20s prior to purchase concerned about scams
great Information
Awesome just what i was looking for
Where are you guys located? what is your website where I can buy one of your containers?
Is it cost effective to buy a container, fill it with household items, ship to destination (US) then sell it? What is the unloaded weight of one 40'
8500 pounds
Cana container be liveried to a home, loaded up and then pick up and dropped off at a diff location. I am moving from Minnesota to Arizona
Yes of course. I know a company like that
*contdor*
Dey on lG
Which containers for sale companies are reputable in the Vancouver or Victoria, Canada?
Do you have an office in the Southeast? Alabama, or Georgia. Somewhere close to buy a Container from your company, because I am tired of talking to people that don't know NOTHING about Containers. Thanks, David
Double door an one time use sounds great, what is the price I’m in Eufaula ok, have looked at used an floor was oiled an it stunk

Here's a good video to watch th-cam.com/video/VpOq3Avxpic/w-d-xo.html
Sad you do not do montreal! If you have provider suggestion for one time use.

Awesome Content! 🎉
Do you have videos of before, after & during repairs?
What does the process look like if the customer doesn’t mind a few dings, rust, and holes? How you cover yourself in situations like that?
What locations in the 50 states do you NOT sell and/or ship to?
Thank you so much for sharing! ❤
Watching in Scotland near Edinburgh. I have a few containers.
Are 53 s available in high cubes ?
👍 53's only come in high cubes
Is it normal to pay before delivery?
Yeah both legit companies and scammers want to be paid before delivery. Don't send money to sketchy email addresses.
I sure wish you guys were closer! I am considering getting a one-use 20' container to store lawn equipment in. But I haven't seen anyplace locally that seems half as reputable as you guys. Not that I know much as I am almost afraid to look around here for fear of being ripped off. I am in Alabama, USA. These you are showing look great! Could a Man door be added to the side on the closed end for access? What should that cost in total, just for an idea.
I deliever containers in colorado. We do install all kinds of doors but cost is a massive factor. We use solid steel frames to continue the strength. Also when you find a container online. Don't purchase without seeing the actual container. I see people buy 1 trips online buy get used. The picture can be just generic. I have seen our ads and our contai ers on other sales site. If you get a 1 trip get pictures first before sending money, but double check the container number . It is on the side and on the door and data plate. If the pic was a wngu unit make sure the same container is delivered. There are alot of fake assholes out there. If you can't get actual pics and they want money up front, stay away.
@@jessicahupe9727 Commercial steel doors are purchased with separate doors and frames. Door frames can be ordered in a knock down configuration or welded frame depending on how the installer would install flashing to keep it waterproof
Your best bet would be to visit a commercial door and hardware dealer Even at that, one who is service oriented and likes a challenge
Any idea if a surplus military modular container be certified for shipping by sea? It does not have the bronze cert placard as with most containers but several smaller placards stating shipping by military air transport or sea transport. It does have serial number markings on the outside on all four sides but there is nothing stating shipping volume but it does show net weight and possible loaded weight. It is not a standard height of 8 feet but it sits at 7 feet high. All of the container has a steel frame with the eight corner lock down castings and the walls are lightweight aluminum foam sandwich with steel studs through out it’s length.
Hi. Thanks for the great info! Do you service Michigan? If not who would you suggest for mid lower peninsula?
What are the reasons that some are only used once?
The cost to return an empty container usually exceeds the purchase price for a new one.
The market swings but on average, it helps the trade deficit. We import more products into Canada and USA from China than we export.
New sub from Canadian Prepper! Do you deliver or do any work in the states?? I’m very interested in having a few containers myself. Thanks in advance!
Hi Lisa. Thanks for coming over! We deliver some modified units to the states or have people down there that could install our system.
Are the one-time use containers built the same as Multiple use containers. Strength wise, which one is better ?
I think it means they only did one trip. They're the same, just better condition that ones that have been used say 100 times
Awesome info
Thanks for watching
Here in Colorado, it's about $1800 more to have a double-door container. 🙄 I wish it was only $500ish more!
Canadian Prepper sent me over. Sent the info to my two brothers. A lot of useful information. Thank you.
Hi Shirley. Thanks for the sub!
Hey Channing I am just wondering do you do shipping container home builds for people in Ontario?, ty for the info.
Hi. Thanks for watching. Sorry, we don't build container homes at the moment.
@@TheContainerGuyTV awww Channing I hope you do soon because way things are living in a shipping container that can be fully customizable ain't looking bad at all, you seem like a genuine guy to do business with too, so if you ever build in the future I and my brother would love to see if we can get something done, just in planning stages at the moment, but you are in my top pick for sure.
i love my sea can !! im having ;robleam opening it, should i silicone spray the top pieces?
Any tips on painting them?
I just wish you put your company link at the end or in the description.
What about flat bed containers?
I'm in Pearce Arizona, I'm interested in 2 used 40ft containers (or depending on the price) one time use containers (what would that cost me)
Avoid a place called Container One! They delivered a totally beat up piece of junk sides all damaged and won't make it right. I was not happy with my purchase with the side walls puffed out 6 to7 inches.
Thanks for the heads up for our audience
WOW, I’m sorry you had such a bad experience 😑I’ve bought from Container One & they have been great to me. They came through on everything they said about the 40’ HC WWT I bought from them. Delivery was great, the driver was very helpful & knowledgeable about the container. I was told that they had a 5yr warranty on the container & the one I got, while not a one trip is In amazing condition. I’m going to order another one & build a 30’x40’ shop between them. I hope you are able to get resolution to your problem with them. Can you report it to the AG in your state? Good Luck!
@@giafontana1898 Well it sounds like you purchased a new container. I don't think there is any 5 yr warranty offered on used containers. The delivery and the driver was ok but, all they would have had to do was just be honest with me when I first raised the issue of the sides being bowed out and not claimed this was simply a "cosmetic" issue because it cannot be corrected with a coat of paint. Rust and dents are cosmetic. This condition however, is structural and cannot be corrected.
The problem for my area is we are to close to the port for there to be local guys that have them on site. We are 2.5hrs from the port.
Great information Container Guy
Hey, tks for the info! Do you refer a reliable company that works in Ontario please?
Love your accent. Useful information.
Do you carry 10ft containers?
How much is a 50 foot double-wide container? Used or new, haven’t decided which would be better….
I want to use repurposed containers on my acreage once I have enough money saved up to purchase it.
Decided that it would be better and last much longer to use containers instead of the traditional wooden buildings…
?
@@carolmaplesden916 I am doing research on what would be best for my future acreage and how much money I would need to save up for the buildings. I have already decided to use shipping containers as they last longer than wooden buildings, plus there is always a possibility that I won’t have much woodland on my acreage once I do get it so want to preserve it as much as possible
@@NadesikoRose I put the question mark there because I was interested in knowing the same thing
Sounds like we are up to the same thing
I am hoping to find some land here pretty soon
@@carolmaplesden916 yeah, I went to their website to find out more information but that wasn’t much help.
The closest ‘branch’ they have to my location is in Winnipeg, Quebec which isn’t close at all as I am in near the Fundy area of New Brunswick. So I can’t drop by and just ask questions, I could still go to the site but not unless I plan out the trip and save up the money for it.
I just entered the ‘saving money’ mode of my plans, but have several different goals for that money. I would like to travel Canada and visit several friends/family who live elsewhere in this Country while I am still able, after that I want to get some acreage and settle down. Nothing fancy or big, about 4 - 10 acres will be fine since it’s only going to be myself there.
So if I can do everything possible to save money in the construction and longevity of what I build, then I will.
Which is the biggest reason why I am going the shipping container route, they are cheaper in the long run and better for the environment…at least compared to the traditional wood construction.
They dont have 50 ft its 53 ft my friend
Thanks.
Thank you so much for this information…. But it doesn’t look like you ship to California? I looked at your website and I’m confused. Help?
Hello. I am interested in a container. Either a 53' or a 40hc . How do I get in touch with you? I'd prefer a new container but all depends on price
Can You recommend a company to purchase a container in northern New York?
Can you make them into a.house, and what state and location do you work do business in
The most important point you made in passing was to see what you are getting before you make a purchase. It's a lot of money to pay for something sight unseen.
Has anyone heard of Coatatlantic Global out of Tampa FL? They are offering a 20' container with 2 roll up doors for $2500 delivered to Fresno Ca? Does this sound to good to be true! I did call their number off thier web site but still no way to verify them...
Good education for me
I live in Southern Maine. Looking for a "one time use" refurbished 20 foot container. Do you support The State of Maine area? If not could lead me to a reputable dealer? Thank You
Thanks for the informative video! I know that prices vary by location, as do delivery costs, but what would prices look like for a one-trip 40' high cube vs a used (good condition) 40' high cube? Same question in re new vs used 53s?
10k?
53 foot is very hard to get. And the cost is crazy. A good used 40 is 8k in colorado. A 1 trip 40 is 10k. A good 53, if you can find one is 15k. 53 foot containers do come into sales but again very hard to find.
Great videos - thanks
