Shipping Container Parts Storage Layouts

[Mike Cecil]

Lionel,

You can also vent the containers by using a vertical length of black pipe like poly pipe or plastic pipe, from any point in the container (near the base is good). The pipe has to be high enough to get direct sunlight as long as possible each day. Once it heats up each day, and the air inside rises, it causes suction from inside the container. Cheap venting: a few plastic plumbing fittings and some flat black paint. Needs a vent top to prevent rain getting down inside the pipe.

Lionel I used podroof for my containers, a bit more expensive than sourcing the parts yourself but designed to bolt straight to the containers.
They only supply the roof I have to make the back wall myself when I get the time.

Hello Rob,

Thanks for posting about your roof. Could you take some close-up photographs of how the posts for the roof are connected to the shipping container?

I had a yarn with a shed constructor and he suggested having a steeper pitch to the roof. This will allow storage space on top of the container and under the new roof. From your photograph it does not look like the roof pitch has that much clearance over the container. I also want to span 14 Metres with the roof.

First thing to do is to get the pad done though.

Kind regards
Lionel

When Robert posted the photos of his roof on his "new view" thread, I looked up one of the companies that supply these. They have some assembly videos, along with a lot of variety in the roofing designs that might give you some ideas.

As Rob said they have two designs, the one I used is fixed at 10deg pitch. Their maximum span is 22 metres.

Hello Rob and Robert,

Firstly, thank you Robert for posting the photographs so quickly.

Thank you Rob for posting the link to the cover people. Good to know that they can span 22 Metres. It is a shame the mobs do not sell plans. I suppose things like cyclone ratings make things more complex than a one-size-fits-all drawing.

I visited Rob's link and butchered one of their drawings using Microsoft "Paint" to mock up a possible style. The second container located 14 Metres away would be a mirror image. Their design featured two containers side-by-side.

Anyway, I have a Land Rover ex-Army 2A Ambulance motor hanging off my trailer crane while I sort out the engine stands fixed wheels and change them to swivels. Then it is a little trip from the shed to the container to make some more space in the shed.

Kind regards
Lionel
