DIY shipping container barn foundation

- Here I will show you how to build a cheap shipping container or sea van foundation. We used 55 gallon drums to hold the concrete instead of sonotubes. You can find these drums cheap or even free if you look for them. You could probably set the containers on a gravel pad but these piers are set to perfect height with a laser level and it will keep everything level for the build. Well worth the effort after all this will have a 40 foot roof system on it and hold a snow load.

Oh Biscuit…… good job on the camera. Ron, I hope we see the finished product on this one. Thanks for the entertainment.
Thanks uncle Jim. Glad you enjoyed it my friend.
Bisque is your main Man 👍 Goood job Bisque
Nice idea about the barrels. Great job for a foundation that will last.
Thank you
I like that your leaving the drums in there. Great stability.
Thanks and yes they are super solid.
Awesome idea, you got my wheels a turning on my next build
Thanks glad to help.
Nice work. 😊👍
Thanks 😀
Interesting video brother. Great job.👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Cool job !
Thanks 😀
213👍's up BB thank you for sharing 😊
Thanks 😀
Have you ever taken some flat stock of metal welded rebar on the bottom shoved in to wet pier then when container sets on it you can weld it to plate?
I have not ever done that. Would work I am sure
Keep it up, I am getting tired of all the other u tube shows.
Glad you like watching our stuff
Surprised they don’t have backup cameras on those trucks, the last few years I drove they all had cameras, and microphones, lol could hear all the comments the contractors were making at the back of the truck we weren’t supposed to be hearing. LOL 😂 🤣🫣
Thats cool
Great job! I enjoyed your video. Im thinking of doing something similar for a 20' container, but was thinking of bringing the height to 3' above ground. I wonder if this idea would work just the same?? 🤔
Concrete hitting the drum sounds like biscuit taking a good one 😅
LMAO 😀
Nice zoom in on Ron’s face jay lol
LOL 😀
Very KOOL Job
Thanks. 😀
About how many yards per barrel? Any connectors btween anchor and container at corners?
Great idea!!
About 3 barrels is a yard of concrete. We did not anchor them down. In some areas of the country I would have though.
Neat using barrels, curious no rebar?
No need for rebar on this one
It most be tornado alley in that area.
I live in St. Louis, MO USA. How come we don’t see concrete trucks like these here?
Ours dump in the rear instead of the front.
The rear trucks are old school. Some concrete plants can not fit the fronts in their old plant so they stay with rear loaders. Fronts are way better.
Ours in the NW do also
How much concrete does it take to fill a barrel?
.29 yards per barrel.
Don't forget to agitate the concrete otherwise you will leave your bubbles behind....
How come there’s not another video of the container barn?
Easy peesy❤
Yup it was.
So I'm guessing those barrels are 24'' Across and 4' deep so I calculate 11.1 yards
They're about 22" across and 3' deep.

SO you probably ordered 8 yard I;m just a 40 year carpenter that likes to figure concrete
All is fine and dandy until you find human remains when you are digging piers!
What??????
@@bondobuilt386
Did you have bad dreams last night?
@@c50ge Nope LOL
No footers??
they are a footer being so big.
Biscuit on the job
yes he was 😀
My son has a 4000 Sq ft shop where he builds cabinets and custom millwork.
The kiln dry lumber and plywood takes up quite a lot of space he could use for other things.
So he recently ordered a new 40’ shipping container with doors on both ends at a cost of $4000.
The container was never delivered, and a Police investigation showed that it was a scam company operating by using a legitimate companies address.
So buyer beware about doing business with container outfits.
That sucks thanks for sharing.
The container was probably coming from Nigeria!
The middle set of piers are not necessary as the loading points of a shipping container are only on the 4 corners
you are right, but it never hurts to have extra support for a small cost.
DID YOU CUT THE BOTTOM OUT OF THE DRUMS
YES WE DID. 👍
Can I ask why would you cut the bottoms out? I'm thinking of doing this for my container build, you're the first guys I've seen doing this. Great video, love it!
@@meichelereid3283 thanks. That way when to pic up the drum and set the height with the laser the concrete will go all the way to the bottom. Other wise the concrete will push the drum down and out of level.
The foreman is all tied up at the trailer 😢😢😢😢
Yup Rowan is a goof Forman.
😀😀
CONCRETE POLES SO TO SAY
Yup 👍
We did that too lol
worked pretty sweet. 😀
Should have had shipping containers with side doors being that the whole container is going to be under the trusses
@bondobuilt386 ohh yeah it's freaking awesome for the old Kubota tractor
@@gjones5153 probably could cut some side doors in?
That's so silly to try and adjust the height to the sonotube because it's never going to stay the same life. You use steel and you drive the steel into the ground and then you set your steel at the right heights like a piece of rebar and you set your laser on top of that steel. Once it's at the right height you just pour the concrete up to the steel top of the steel and you bring the sauna tube up about an inch above. It doesn't have to be an inch or judges but you don't fill the sauna tube up. You just bring it up. Put enough concrete in to go to the top of the steel
Dude! Put a shirt on.
I think that look is of a gas pain not concentration……just sayin!
LOL
I'm willing to bet there's not a man among those guys that work for this guy that earns more than the 17 bucks an hour and I'll bet you half of them are on a 1099 with no benefits
I guess you never worked in the cement trade. A lot of these guys do labor and finishing as a side job along with their afternoon or midnight main job. They don't need benefits as they already have it with their main job. 1099 is just fine, If they even do that and not under the table. A friend and his father did it for decades, and the laborers/finishers would just jump from several different contractors. Actually the pay is pretty good for a finisher for a side job because the contractor doesn't have to keep them on payroll. Don't knock what you don't know.
🥹🥹 dad?
Jason/big biscuit is my son
@@bondobuilt386 makes sense now! Plenty of biscuit to go around!!

I'm Surprise that you ordered such a small amount to be delivered the extra cost isn't worth it.
