@@ReleaseMyKrakken - Of course, Most "Businesses" are "Way More Complicated" than they look! What was particularly Complicated with This Idea?

Yes, Staffing, is a requirement, typically, for at least this "Front Office" aspect, but - you get to set the days and hours, and can use a website and videos, to present your storage business information (Something that was not so easy, 30 years ago!), and today there are lots of ways to do payment, like Credit Cards, or Bank Debit Cards, Via PayPal, A Moneris or other Merchant Account, etc.
Using these as a self-storage unit, how would you recommend preparing the ground? Can you just put them on flat ground or do you have to put the corners on pylons?
That will depend on the level of service you wish to have or offer. Screw Pylons Exist, Concrete Flat Slabs aren't too Complicated, and Full Foundations can be done, with Drainage below, Heated Floors, or more.
I am installing 40 of the 20' containers to expand my storage facility and I need to move them around. What is the width of the fork lift holes in the middle of the sides of the bottom of these containers?
So these would work great on a property I have but in our area to be competitive you have to have climate control keeping the units below 90 how could these be air conditioned?
I can do that. For now, if you need door seals for standard height containers, here is the link: thecontainerguy.ca/product/standard-container-8-x-86-door-gasket-seal/. For High Cubes, see here: thecontainerguy.ca/product/high-cube-container-8%e2%80%b2-x-96%e2%80%b3-door-gasket-seal/
Lolol. That would take 4 years just to break even, assuming an impossible 100% occupancy, and all the lost time and labor - not to even mention land use, improvements, permits, and set up. That is RIDICULOUS.
I spoke to one of your offices in Canada today. Matthew is going to help me create a plan for my new storage units in the states so I can present my project to the planning board.. I love the separations you guys have for inside the containers. Thanx Gina in Upstate NY@@TheContainerGuyTV
i bought 2 from wuwi shipping containers. they were open from nearby areas of US. and they give me 2900 usd price for 2 containers . look for Jayson or John they were great
You "Flip" the Divider Panels, but then put All The Mid Joining Bolts With Heads on The Same Side and Nuts on the Same Other Side! Not The Hard For The Side with the Nut, to Hold the Bole, AND Undo the Nut! (Pliers, and Needle Nose 90 Degree Pliers, and maybe a Pair of Vise Grips!) Maybe - Alternate The Joining Bolts, as well, just like you flip the Panels!! Second Off, Ad a "Cover Panel" Insert, Just to make the Joint less Visible.
How and from whom do I order custom containers like this? Will China do any mods I want? I need some of these but also need the walls to have a 2hr fire rating, and might as well have China put in extra vents.
You want the container to be used as a regular 40' cargo container. If you modify it in China or install partition walls, you're on the hook for the $15,000 boat ride plus the price of the container - not worth it. Buy the cans as is. Do the mods locally. Use Container Modification World parts whenever possible 😉

th-cam.com/video/SCT-GIzo1xM/w-d-xo.html this video shows how difficult it is to work with container doors. It is best to buy DD containers rather than try and make them. Another option is a roll up door on the other end.
Now put prices, ancillary costs, and various business models (yes, I know rent is variable). But, even assuming a modest 100/mo per door on the 4-door unit, this doesn't seem profitable at all. Just a money sink.

you end up doing it?
Same question.
@@saj4080 nope. Way more complicated than it looks unfortunately.

Excellent!! I'm doing the same over in Germany - this could be done anywhere
Need help with partition walls. Are these my only option? What do they cost? Anything better on the market?
Fantastic as always. Keep it up guys.
Honest video! Great info
I am installing 40 of the 20' containers to expand my storage facility and I need to move them around. What is the width of the fork lift holes in the middle of the sides of the bottom of these containers?
What do you call the container you divided into 4 storage containers and what are the inside measurements.
Thanks Larry.
So these would work great on a property I have but in our area to be competitive you have to have climate control keeping the units below 90 how could these be air conditioned?
Great job on the vid!
Thanks for watching
Great videos though. I've watched just about all of them. Ever think of doing franchises? I would be interested in doing these type mods in Oklahoma.
For sure. We need more of a presence in the Southern States. Send us an email.
I was thinking the same in TX
@@TheContainerGuyTV will do.
@@TheContainerGuyTV need you guys in Oregon!
Where can you buy these
Can you make a video on replacing the rubber door seal and how to buy the right one?
I can do that. For now, if you need door seals for standard height containers, here is the link: thecontainerguy.ca/product/standard-container-8-x-86-door-gasket-seal/. For High Cubes, see here: thecontainerguy.ca/product/high-cube-container-8%e2%80%b2-x-96%e2%80%b3-door-gasket-seal/
do u have to worry about condensation in storage containers?
Yes! Without ventilation or insulation, the metal will form condensation that will drip on your goods.
Do you guys have a good source for the four door units?
We usually have a half a dozen in stock or so. If you need, please email sales@thecontainerguy.ca
How much for the wall kit ??
Great video.
19,000 a piece is what i was quoted on 2/7/2023 thats insane
Is that for a 4 door container?
@@-What-are-your-thoughts yeah I called a bunch of places and that was the cheapest I found .
Lolol. That would take 4 years just to break even, assuming an impossible 100% occupancy, and all the lost time and labor - not to even mention land use, improvements, permits, and set up.
That is RIDICULOUS.
^ at a modest 100/mo per door. No way.
Where can I buy these?
Great video What do you do on the other side of a 20 footer when partioning off the center of a one side door comtainer.?
Buy double door 20's (doors on both ends)

So the 40 footers have double doors at both ends Or is it something you installed? @@TheContainerGuyTV
Cut In a Roll-Up, on the End, or Man-Doors in the Side, seems like an option! If you already have the container!
How tall are you? You make those containers look extremely tall!!
LOL false advertising with the Tom Cruise effect! They're 9'6" high cubes. I'm a whopping 5'9"
What's the total cost for one of those done?
Can I buy there? How much does one go for
Let's see a pocket work belt rig drop. What's the edc?
The 4 side door containers.... Can you just buy them?
Where would u buy this type of containers
i bought 2 from wuwi shipping containers. they were open from nearby areas of US. and they give me 2900 usd price for 2 containers . look for Jayson or John they were great
Hi brother what is the cost to made such sale storage. I want such things to made a income alternative.
Do u guys ship to vancouver island ?
And also where can i get the partissin walls from? Do u supply?

@@TheContainerGuyTV But in your video you recommend using the factory side door containers vs modifying locally, so I'm confused..?? 😕
@@TheContainerGuyTV you said you can buy them with the 3 doors like the first part of your vid, where would one person buy those?

@@TheContainerGuyTV awesome, doing that now
So where the information to buy ?
I got mine in wuwi shipping container. just look for John or Jayson. they gave me 2 containers for 2900 usd :)
Lucky to find your channel. Very useful Stuff. I was wondering What does it take to convert regular shipping container into double door container.

Do your company do the custom work or just sell the parts for the remodeling ???
Now put prices, ancillary costs, and various business models (yes, I know rent is variable).
But, even assuming a modest 100/mo per door on the 4-door unit, this doesn't seem profitable at all. Just a money sink.
