ModBetter is a research hub dedicated to one thing: container garages. We track real builds, break down costs, and document what works (and what doesn’t) so you don’t waste time or money chasing dead ends.
Most people who look into container projects hit the same wall—contractors won’t touch them, prefab kits leave out key details, and glossy “inspiration” photos don’t show the reality of building one. That’s where we step in. We collect and publish the hard-to-find information DIY builders, small shops, and serious hobbyists actually need.
Side-by-side breakdowns of container garage kits and modifications
Real-world case studies with budgets, suppliers, and lessons learned
Step-by-step guides for upgrades like insulation, HVAC, and electrical
Layout options that balance storage, workshop space, and office areas
Research on code, permitting, and long-term durability
Container garages are more than just storage—they’re workshops, man caves, offices, and hobby rooms built from steel. Done right, they’re cost-effective, customizable, and built to last. Done wrong, they’re money pits. We show you the difference.
ModBetter isn’t a contractor and we don’t sell prefab kits. We’re a research hub built for people who want clear answers, transparent costs, and proven solutions.
We provide practical container garage solutions through detailed research, real build documentation, and proven guidance for DIY and small-scale projects.
