VersaTube Shop 36x40 Build Step By Step and Shipping Container. How to Budget DIY Container Shop

This is Part 3 of our Versatube Shipping Container Build. Here we will show you step by step how we built the Versatube 36x40 shop and attach it to our shipping containers and anchor it to the ground. This is just a video on our journey not a tutorial. Please check with your builder on regulations, codes and engineering.

Did Versatube replace those bowed posts?

Great job, that looked like a lot of work. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for watching.

8:30 genius using the shipping pallet to extend the height when raising the frame!

[@homesteadingwithblueskyranch]

That was one of those situations where what the heck are we going to do! But it worked and was pretty darn safe 🤣

awesome job. Wind genny and solar on the roof

[@homesteadingwithblueskyranch]

Thank you so much!

[@homesteadingwithblueskyranch]

Thank you so much!

@@homesteadingwithblueskyranch you guys deserve it. I like to see people being able to live off grid and out of this systemic nonsense.

[@homesteadingwithblueskyranch]

Thank you for watching and supporting our journey!

Thanks for sharing. Ps. Where are the trees? I’d get some trees planted They will feed your soil and create microclimates to improve the soil Microbiome and make your land much more fertile. Plus they will help Phil to the winds and reduce soil erosion. Also, they provide habitat for beds which will keep the piss down and fertilise your soil around the trees and elsewhere.

[@homesteadingwithblueskyranch]

I appreciate you taking the time to watch our video. We have been unable to get any trees to grow here. The voles attack all the roots and we have extreme winds. But we do have huge gardens which do improve our soil. Thank you again!

Pan slowly and widely over the scene so the viewer can see what's going on. I'm interested in details and when the camera is swinging around wildly I can't see as clearly as I could if you pan smoothly.

[@homesteadingwithblueskyranch]

Thank you for watching. I am certainly new to this and will definitely try to get better ❤️

Would you mind sharing the cost and reason behind sandwiching between the containers? I was thinking of doing something similar but was going to install the versatube building on top of the containers rather than in-between

[@homesteadingwithblueskyranch]

Absolutely! We chose shipping containers to provide protection from the wind. We had 70 mph winds this winter and it was not affected by it at all! The shipping containers were 3,400 each and the Versatube kit approximately 18,000. We did order it with extra engineering for snow and wind load. Plus the cost of renting the lift and gravel to compact the area. Hope this helps. Please like, share and subscribe 😊

Nice outfit Tom

[@homesteadingwithblueskyranch]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AlanPerez-je8oi]

Where did you get the kit

[@homesteadingwithblueskyranch]

We got it from Port A Cover in Spokane, Washington. Versatube website will show you all the dealers near you. We worked with the dealer to build what we wanted and it was then built by Versatube and shipped to the dealer. The dealer then delivered it to us.

I think when I put mine together, my helping hand will be zip ties

[@homesteadingwithblueskyranch]

Make sure you share that with us 😉
