- Container House Tour + Enter at www.omaze.com/e... for your chance to win a $130K Custom Tiny Home from Tru Form Tiny and support a great cause, the National Park Foundation.
In this video, we’re touring a unique 1-bedroom home that was built with a 53’ foot used shipping container. It’s called a Plunk Pod, because it’s built completely off-site, and designed to be plunked down and ready to use wherever it’s needed, whether that’s in a backyard with full hookups, or in a remote location with off-grid systems.
You can find out more about these Plunk Podz, and see more container and prefab homes built by Northern Shield on their website and social media:

I don’t suppose this is available in Canada, eh?
Yes, Northern Shield is from Ontario Canada :) Thanks for checking out the video!
Can you set them to arizona once I buy it
A few things I'd change: 1. Gotta have a washer and a dryer. 2. Raise that bed several feet and put in long drawers underneath. 3. Install that big screen tv on a swivel stand or full-motion mount so it faces a larger area. Other than that, I like the layout of the Plunk Pod. =)
Add a range hood to this list and it's good to go.
I'd also hollow out the step from the front door/sliding door to put shoes under since Idk anyone who only has 1 pair of shoes. Bed would either be a Murphy bed or on a platform with hinges for storage. and DEF need a washer/dryer...
Washer and dryer uses way too much electricity. A washer maybe...
Washer/dryer combo- under kitchen bar area.
container houses are so fun. i'd love to stack a couple and make some thing really funky
I just checked out their website and there DO make “double deckers”!
I love this. I don't care if others think it's too long, or has hallways. I'm living on a fixed income (SS), so this would be heaven to me, especially since Mercy Housing just raised our rent AGAIN, to almost 50% of our income!
Although the open kitchen shelves are pretty and open up the area, there really should be upper cabinets because uppers are so handy for storing plates and glassware, as well as canned goods.
Love the flooring!!!
What an AWESOME way to repurpose stuff! Brilliant idea. This is far larger than the normal “tiny home”
Hey 👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a good 😊 wonderful day for you Darlene?
This isn't a "ship" container. This is a 53' railway container.
Wow we love this. Like the layout and design. 👍👍Thanks Matt and Danielle ❤
Thanks so much Cathy, hope you're doing well :)
I like the look of this very much. I'd prefer to combine the split bathroom, so I'd have just a single sink that doesn't have offset hardware. Very pretty design!
Hey 👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a good 😊 wonderful day for you Sheila?
I love the idea of using 53 ft containers instead of just 40 ft containers or especially the really small 20-ft containers but that living room is way too small because you got to have at least one couch that way you can snuggle with somebody else as well as have a spot for a guest to potentially sleep on for a night or two so I'm really not impressed with the living room in particular on this model but it looks nice nonetheless and I admire what you guys are doing using containers like this for sure and I think it's a way of the future.
I'll take it!
Me too
This is the best container design I have seen. Great job!
Happy you enjoyed the tour, thanks for watching :)
Absolutely beautiful!
Every video of yours is very educational, thanks a lot, keep up the good work, please do more of shipping container home 🏡
Thanks so much Ajoy, happy you enjoyed the tour :)
Love to see the creativity of others! What an amazing finished project.
Very nice. I'd want a washer and dryer.
Separate shed, I guess.
Looks cool to me from inside to the outside. 👍
Very cool. Love to stick one in my backyard and rent it. Probably too expensive but a good option to put a house where you want despite no power.
Hi what a pretty picture you've on your profile! Just decided to stop by and say Hi!! I hope my compliment is appreciated 😊
I think I could live ib this for a long time. This seems like a cool vacation location
Beautiful.
Cool idea of portable solar unit.
***if that was my container I would have put the kitchen where the living room is and the living room where the kitchen is so that I could sit on my futon couch and look outside onto my beautiful property. And then I would put a deck with an awning. I would also put it on a cement foundation because if you put it on cement footings the ground over time will not necessarily remain the same and you can have some sinking of some of those footings.
I would then add a rain catch system with water filtration system.
I would have one bathroom and I a laundry room.
I would have a bed suspended from the ceiling and storage underneath the bed and a storage system with hanging space and drawers on the wall with the door.
You could also make a Murphy bed system in the bedroom and during the day it could turn into an office/studio.
I would utilize the interior height of the container for added storage.
See how #vanlife & #tinyhome dwellers utilize storage systems.
you will find those open shelving ideas in kitchens collect dust.
1 bedroom, okay i can live with that. seen too many of these with a family of four trying to make it work.
This is beautiful! It's just what I'm looking for
Beautiful
great house!
i like the storage on top
Very well done. Great layout and use of a container. Love the floors. I wish you continued success.
You just can’t buy floors like that without spending BIG bucks! They’re AWESOME!
There needs to be a table where two people can face each other while eating a meal.
It’s beautiful
This is beautiful.
Hey 👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a good 😊 wonderful day for you Susan?
looks amazing
I'd like to see to convert one of these 53' containers to fold out like the 20' containers do. Make it one side fold out or both sides.
Love the style of this house!
Hi what a pretty picture you've on your profile! Just decided to stop by and say Hi!! I hope my compliment is appreciated 😊
@@eshagberiemperor thanks!
@@persephone213 You're welcome 🤗. Where are you from?
AMAZING INNOVATIVE
Not tiny. It’s gorgeous !
Masterpiece 👏
Minimum $130 k , shipping and set up extra
💯
I really like it, but it needs a closet in the bedroom! I don't know why there is a step up to the foors, but I like it. Good to sit on.
Brilliant. I want to have one.
Can you give us a rough idea on the cost of a unit like this one featured? And I’m assuming you do smaller ones depending on what the customer wants. Thank you. Beautiful work!
This is one of the better over-all layouts that I have come across. I would definitely add another container to the kitchen/living room area for a bit more common space, but this is an excellent layout. It would be extremely ideal for an elderly, but still living independent individual.
This is beautiful 😍..I would change a few things....but absolutely 💯 love it
This is gorgeous. I wish I could afford something like this. I'd love to see a two story version of this, albeit using smaller containers. I'll check them out, but they are likely out of my price range. Thanks for this informative video regardless.
Don't give up! I found a place that can do in Michigan near Grand Rapids! I bought a small plot of land and in the process now for 80K. I mean, it sounds like a lot but there's nothing truly cheaper...
@@alexgolubski Thanks for the hopeful words, and congrats on your purchase! Hope your tiny house dream comes true :)
@@alexgolubski If you don't mind me asking. How big will be your living space with that amount ? Are you buying all done like in the video or you plan to do a lot by yourself ?
Look up double storage pod tiny houses or just shipping container houses in you tube. Surprisingly they’re everywhere. I’m addicted to researching them. This one looks tastefully done.
@@Chefgabrielpollow I will, thank you!
I will take this any day!
My friend is a trucker. He & his wife are exploring selling their expensive yet small house in Olympia WA and getting this until he retires from trucking. He has his own tractor so he can move it himself. He intends to treat it like an RV that he moves 1-2x a year. If he ever builds permanently, he would add a 2nd unit to double the width and make it into a REAL home addressing people's concerns in these comments.
Love this
Needs a washer/dryer and a pantry and a bedroom closet
And a coat closet.
They noted they do offer a bedroom closet.
Looks nice but I wish these had more functionality and storage.
Very nice! 😃
Love the home!!! I wonder if the chairs could be replaced with a small loveseat?
I don't see why it couldn't.
Sure, though then there would be no "separate" seat for anyone.
Do you install a snall washer/dryer unit?
Having a door on the backside that would allow another future pod to be attached directly or via a hall would be smart.
Love that this was included. Nice desibn.
Add a home office (with additional private entrance), and walk through a utility/mud room to enter the office.
There is a door on the back side.. the guy explained that all of the door cutouts can be used to attach additions.
Lovely 😍 👌
Great design!😊
Hey 👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a good 😊 wonderful day for you Ruth?
I would like to add to this width wise can o do that ? And yes lots of open windows. What is a average cost of these homes . I am considering buying land and doing this
I WANT THIS ….
So nice! 🌀💚🌀
Hello, I live in Australia & I was wondering if you have any Sales Agents down here at all? I'm wanting information about prices etc as I'm looking at "downsizing" my home etc.
Thanking You in advance,
Zoe 🙂
How much does this unit cost? And do you also build and deliver for South Africa ?
It would be expensive, since this is not a standard size container. It's a 53', designed for US and Canadian railroads.
Amazing 👏👏👍👍
I like the look of shipping containers, but the amount of extra work and costs that are necessary to make one function structurally just doesn’t make sense. Stick build is always going to be faster and cheaper to do.
This is a really nice design. I looked up the price and it is too expensive for me.
Love it
I think your clock has stopped. :D
Really beautiful. The only part I don't care for is the grid-like look outside. I love the darker wood tone on the floors. It really warms up and balances the more industrial look of the kitchen. For me, I'd change the kitchen seating/multi-use space by shortening it up to match the side counter and have it face the kitchen vs the wall. It would free up a little space on the LR side as well. The kitchen feature wall is so pretty. I like where the angry owls live in the storage box area above the bathrooms. 🦉That's what the boxes looks like at first, haha. Why does the floor only have one coat of sealer? Isn't 2 the standard?
I am interested but given it is a metal containers how safe is it in lightening conditions
What is the price for one bed room ?
Kitchen doesn't have an exhaust fan. Or is it hidden?
So I was wondering what you do with the outdoor unit for the air conditioner when you travel? It's on the side so that impedes on the width codes. Do you get a fridge mechanic to pump it down, take it out and reinstall it every time you move to a new parking area?
This isn't for travel surely? It's a shipping container house. You CAN move it to a new area, but it's meant to stay there I'd say
This isn't a mobile home. It gets plonked down where people want to live.
There is not for travelling.. its not a tiny home on a trailer.. there is no trailer..
They deliver it to your location and plunk it down.. and thats where it stays.
Have never seen a 53ft container home.
Ici en France, c'est la canicule en ce moment, je ne sais pas comment on se sentirait si on habitait dans une maison container ? Il faudrait peut-être avoir la climatisation ?
L'unité installé sur ce modèle offre les deux. Chauffage et climatisation.
Where is the storage?!
Very nice...Could you tell us approx. how much this one cost? Thank you
$130 K, plus shipping and set up cost
That's great that the containers already had wood floors. Why would they have wood floors in a container? Do all containers have wood floors?
❤❤❤
Washer/dryer?
How much for beautiful tiny home 😅
Good design for a small space but
4 things to be improved:
1. Dishwasher is essential in the kitchen and should be added even if it adds 2 feet of width to the kitchen.
2. Didnt see a Washer and Dryer
3. Didnt like the bathroom seperation. Tear down the wall and make it one big bathroom with a shower/bathtub hybrid with one sink that has counter space filling the wall its on.
4. The bedroom was really tiny and its unattractive to not be able to fit side tables with a queen bed. If a couple is living in this a queen is the bare minimum bed size and king is desired.
I actually LOVED the bathroom separation, for the reasons he mentioned. A very Japanese way of doing it.
@@genjii931 agreed!!!
Personally love the separation of toilet and shower. Also..since when is a dishwasher essential? I don't have one in my sticks and bricks..waste of power and water imo.
@@barbwatkins3676 sanitation of dishes is a complete necessity
@@brennenhrebeniuk9661 well of course it is but handwashing dishes in hot water is perfectly sanitary. Who "needs" to use a power and water hungry appliance especially living tiny? Dishwashers are an unnecessary luxury for most people living tiny.. whatever genre it may be. My opinion only.
Nice but for being 53 foot long, the living room area is way too small. There is nowhere for guests to sleep. Also, there is no washer and dryer and no closet for clothes???? Unless I'm missing something, this space was not utilized very well.
Is this not just an expensive single wide trailer?... Sorry, I meant "manufactured home'... Seriously... is it not the same?
whats the cost of that 53 foot unit?
166k
Very few people will move this for you. It would require a container trailer and cranes on both ends to move. Very expensive
My friend is a trucker and he is considering giving up his house and moving into one of these that he can move himself, Treat it like an RV with a few changes to secure the shelf contents, etc.
What I don't like about container homes is how narrow they are, almost necessitating a hallway. In a tiny home, a hallway is a big waste of space, IMHO. This one is 53 ft. long, quite long for a tiny, but with a very small bedroom, not much living area, and no place for a washer/dryer. This would be fine for an AIRBnB, but not for full-time living. Also, even for an AIRBnB, it would only accommodate two people comfortably. It is probably pretty pricey, as well.
Assume a washer/dryer combo is in the mechanical room. A lot of airbnb owners don't want large groups anyways.
🤣Hahaha...😂...😅hilarious🥰!!!!
Sounds like tiny homes are not for you.
@@robertmoses1919 I would love a tiny home, just not a shipping container. I've seen many tiny homes with a better layout than this. Just expressing my opinion on this particular design. If I expressed an opinion about a normal sized home, would you say it sounds like normal sized homes are not for me? There are many different designs of all types of homes to choose from and I simply don't care for the one in this video. 😊
@@jemma50 🤣Hahaha...😂...😅hilarious🥰!!!!
Super.(((-:
Money, like emotions is something you must control to keep your life on the track. a fellow creator.
$166,500 I assume this is before taxes.. You better throw in an acre of land with that price. It's nice but way too expensive!
130k for a TINY home ? Isn’t the point to reduce cost and live on less? Do y’all even understand why people transition to tiny homes ? UNDERSTAND the history of things before getting into business 🙄
Zu wenig Stauraum
There is absolutely no space for storage and laundry. It looks nice but is a very bad concept for ordinary living. This space is not planned for living only for vacation.
I need something like this baddddd !! but alot of times these things cost about the same as an over priced house on the market these days and i cant help but wonder are these really helping us live a sustainable life style alot of ppl who own or build these, rather its a tiny home or skoolie already come from money or have great paying jobs trying to tell u this changed their life….like really or is it just some kind of a trend for rich white folks ??? I know whose lives it could change… i wish ppl cared about actually helping ppl who actually have low income obtain these but alot of ppl and low income neighborhoods don’t even know about this movement. Why are y’all not spreading awareness to the ppl who could actually benefit from these tiny homes
Not a trend and lots of diversity of people. There's just not a magic solution for costs, but it's also not as simple as just the purchase price because you're actually going to spend a lot more over the years you live in a home. So a lot of people just focus on those long term costs as reducing them can save them up to multiple times what it cost to purchase the home from all the long term costs they would have otherwise had to pay... This is why most people who go tiny manage to be debt free in 10 years or less.
So it's just something you need an actual plan and know what you're paying for will either pay for itself or specifically is there to meet your needs but you otherwise eliminate everything you don't need and only pay for what you need... Just owning the home isn't a solution by itself but it can be used like a tool to help you get there...
I saw no clothes closet. He mentioned shoe storage though.
I guess I don't understand why.
130k for a container home? Hmmm, noo...!
These are a complete fail in all uses and forms, you can't use them in desert zones, flood zones, third world areas, unusable in mountain zones or beach areas, cold zones unusable, these float in flood zones and leak, they are energy wasters to hot zones, useless in storm zones, lighting zones, cost to build is double the cost of a normal home, these are not allowed in 90% of city housing zones, all this is a over-price mobile home that can't roll. The metal wall expand in heat causing window leaks, contracts in cold causing windows to crack and system to fail or freeze.
Nope, untrue, you might want to do some research because that's a whole lot of FUD. Unless you don't do one properly, they're not different than any other metal structure built out to be a home and you can get a structural engineer to sign off on them to allow them in most places. Just difficult to get financing if there was never a previous housing project done with them in the area but after the first financing becomes available. They can cost more but more often they cost roughly the same and is more that people get disappointed that they don't cost less.
Sounds like you are presuming too much and have not done your research. I know two happy owners of these units and they have been living in them for over a year now.
why does everyone mispronounce potable? go look it up, it's a long o....lol
Because in real life no one has to actually utter this word aloud. It doesn't come up in normal conversation 🙂
@@trailrider2571 i guess but just looking at it and applying actual English rules would dictate it's a long o. if their pronunciation were correct it would be spelled pottable. so like, basic grade school stuff here.
It is obvious no woman was involved in designing this layout, especially in the kitchen, bathroom and ridiculous lack of storage. Who wants to climb up to overhead bins to get clothing? This man seems to be proud of the storage, but he seems to have no idea of how much storage is actually needed!!
Sounds like tiny homes are not for you. Better look for something bigger and wider.
@@robertmoses1919 There are plenty of spaces to adapt in this design and I love tiny homes. Since I am not the only one to criticize the lack of storage, why did you choose mine to reply?
@@joyceb5864 Sorry, just throwing out shallow comments. It seems many want more forgetting these are "tiny" homes, that means narrow and without a lot of room for more space. Did not mean any harm. I replied to 12 comments and added one of my own. It's not for me, but my trucker friend loves his!
Not the best use of space that I've seen.
horrible idea. The thermal conductivity of metal is insane, these will be incredibly hot during the summer and freezing during the winter. The idea that these are environmentally friendly is insane Steel construction is not even close to as environmentally friendly as wood.
tldr just buy a mobile home if this is what you want
120,000 tiny home a joke get a 40ft for 2000 and do it yourself
FIRST! 🤙🏻
God dam it! I'm getting slow in my old age.
This is a terrible use of space. I just don't understand how this is 53' long but has NO space. I've seen tiny houses half this size that can accommodate far more people. What a waste.
Funny how he's constantly referring to making the best use of space and creating space for things or if you have friends over and or if you want more space "we can incorporate that into the design", 😂 here's a tip , how about you just build a real house . someone choosing to downsize this much prolly hasn't got many friends or wants to cut a few from the list let's face it 😂
Your optimism is overflowing and is such an inspiration.
I understand where you're coming from, but this does feel like a more doable and more sustainable option of building a home for some! It is nice to have options for all types of people to fit different budgets with potential for easy future upgrades. Living smaller and focusing on different things than accumulating stuff for a larger house might not be someone's priority. But I'm sitting nice and cozy in 1200 sqft place with all my materials for projects so I know what you mean😅
We would still have the horse and buggy with chuds like you making decisions. The point with these is placing them where building a traditional home is remote or hard to build area.
