Forget the twist locks. Weld!

If you go to Bob Villa he has a couple of videos of container houses, they weld sheetmettal on the outside to hide the corrugated metal and than spray it with super therm ceramic coating which gives it a 200% R rating over conventional

I would insulate the hell out it depending on your climate. I do know that they get very hot inside.

You could then weld flat steel to cover your gap. A word of caution though, Marine paint is very toxic when burned. If using welding and burning equipment, use every precation to not inhale the fumes. I have experienced this because I was too much of a tough guy to use a respirator. I was sick as hell for a couple of days.

Ok so locking it seems like a perfect idea. Do you think when building stacks for homes they just cover the gap or do they insulate it more?

First I would never just stack them and close the gap, I would make sure that they are "locked" together. A shipping container does weigh 10,000 pounds give or take, but I have seen continuous 60-70 mph winds blow them off the stacks. When they are stacked on ships and trains, they are interlocked with a "twistlock" device. This locks the two containers together. While it may add another inch to the gap, it does make it safer and more sturdy.

I have dealt with the transportation end of shipping containers, and I find the idea very appealing, especially for the economically challenged.

If you were to put a container on top of a container when building a house how would you seem the gap between the two? When they are stacked on top of each other I believe there is a couple inch's of space between the two am I right?
