Shipping Container garages

SHIPPING CONTAINER GARAGE MODIFICATIONS

Container garages work because they start with solid steel structure. We document which modifications add real value and which ones waste money. Our research covers everything from basic insulation to full workshop conversions.

We track successful DIY builds to show what actually works. Most projects focus on the basics first: proper foundation, weatherproofing, and electrical access. Advanced modifications like overhead doors and climate control come later once you’re using the space.

Our guides break down each modification with realistic cost estimates and time requirements based on documented builds, not manufacturer claims.

What We've Documented from Container Garage projects

We document successful container garage projects and provide floor plans based on what actually works. Our research shows which modifications are realistic for DIY builders and which approaches create problems down the road.

You can use our documented floor plans as a starting point for your container garage project. We focus on projects that people have actually completed using standard tools and skills, not theoretical designs that look good on paper.
