If you are considering modular or prefab home, building with recycled shipping containers is worth taking a look at.
Good resource is the Residential Shipping Container Primer website. A SHOWCASE OF SHIPPING CONTAINER HOMES AND BUILDINGDS, AND A DO IT YOURSELF (DIY) REFERENCE FOR CONVERTING RECYCLED INTERMODAL CARGO SHIPPING CONTAINERS INTO BUILDINGS AND ARCHITECTURE.
Lots of great example buildings, details, facts, and links to other articles...

For people in Africa a refeer-container may be a good thing

In Australia, you can get a decommissioned 40 ft'er for 3-4 k AUD. 20 ft'er for about 2-3k. High cube costs a little more. You have to shop around, and factor delivery (and crane). I saw a guy last week selling brand new 20 ft containers for 4k. Steel is set to rise, so they will get more expensive soon. I think you're right, George is downsizing!

How much does one of these cost to have? No one adresses that, and another question, who is that man in the picture with that woman?
He looks like George Clooney lol

it'd be cool to make a fallout/bomb shelter using some of these as a starting point

Be careful when filling in around it. I've done it. And one of my walls now comes in the whole lenght.

They really arent structurally sound to put the weight of earth on top of them. You would have to do some serious upgrades to them otherwise as Zachry86 mentioned the walls and ceiling will collapse under the weight. They are very specifically engineered to the stacking they were designed for but not for any weight on the centers.

Are you a bonehead? do you realize these are stacked way high on ships and in yards!
sausagenpeppaz 2 years ago
you sir are the bonehead since you dont understand physics.
They can be stacked very high. The weight is supported by the sides of the container.
The middle of the roof is not designed for any weight however. So putting earth on top of the center roof will cause a cave in. This is common knowledge as anyone who buries these things knows.
Yes they can be buried but only after properly reinforcing the center of the roof and the sides so they do not cave in.

Unless you plan on burying one more then 6 feet deep a couple of i beams across the middle and 1 length wise across each wall would do the job!
