What is with this huge trend of shipping container houses, why wouldn't you just build a fucking frame for less than it costs for the fucking container and actually make a home or something? Am I missing something here? Is this actually good for cheap housing on lots in the middle of nowhere or just some hipster faggy social media trend

Exgf went to school for "interior design" years ago and always went off about recycling, sustainability and low cost because there were millions of unused shipping containers around the world just rotting away. Couldnt understand that if they weren't good for shipping products anymore because they were rotting that they wouldn't be good for habitation. "Nooo just have to get the new(er) ones" despite that no longer being sustainable, recycling or low cost anymore. Relationship didn't last long.

Look at how much welding and metalwork went into that place. You could easily just weld some GI sheets onto those beams and get the same effect.

Unless you got the shipping containers for free, i don’t think it makes too much sense.

In my city, if you drive around the industrial area, there are *thousands* of semi trailers that have been abandon for decades… would make sense to use them to house homeless or something.

Specialty use of these is definitely a good idea. There’s a company in Louisiana that turns them into portable buildings for temporary use (office space, laboratories, control rooms, housing). They can be picked up with a crane, easily maneuvered into place, anchored with minimal effort, and fit on the back of a flatbed. Muh container home is a meme though.

Diesel Creek picked up some storage/office units from Ritchie Bros auction site, you can get that stuff dirt cheap that way. Buying new is dumb, unless it's by a corporation. 

Look at this:

https://www.ironplanet.com/jsp/s/item/9256884?utm_source=rbauction&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=syndication&src=mktg

Starting bid, $5. But there's enough there for a small cabin type build, just add plumbing and power. 

The gotcha is, you have to come get it with your own truck. But field offices and other buildouts in shipping containers are dirt cheap in the industrial auction world. 

Hell, you can get a polycarb greenhouse, unopened in it's crate, on the Ritchie Bros site, someone dumped a shit load of them on there.

They make great workshops but art is stupid and container artshit over one storey is stupid. I use one-trip grade containers not WWT condemned junk. They work very well for the competent (me and bros) who benefit from the dry vermin-free easily dehumidified stormproof equipment storage for our machine shops and in my case, classic motorbike collection. They work great for industrial and military structures. 

The military and industry have done everything worth doing with containers which like all structural options are completely solved with nothing new to invent. To succeed copy them. Containers are a thing where if you already know what to do with them they're great, but if you haven't lived that gearhead weldy fabricating life you probably don't need one. Other Anons have containers serving them well. 

>>2588464

Do your own exhaustive homework and be flexible about location. Tax sales etc are out there. Learn to network because that's what gets the deals. 

The whole US isn't expensive but hunting land takes work. Find properties others may not want to develop, or land that has enough level area for your stuff but the rest is buffer or needs clearing. Haunt GIS sites. The people buying these properties as investments and calling my ass all the time are doing precisely that, but they want distress sales so they can lowball and I ain't having that because their margin isn't my problem.

I did a similar thing. 2 containers I parallel and I planned to put a roof over them for parking space. I never intended to live in them though. I used them for storage and can confirm, signal reception in side of them is practically impossible unless you have windows to stand next to or install some sort of repeater to "catch" the signal on the outside and bring it inside the house.
--- 2589394
>>2589099
If they can't afford the rent, they wouldn't take care of it. There is a direct correlation between rent paid and how much damage the renters do to the property. That's why landlords hate section 8 applicants, because they are only paying a little amount and the government covers the rest... If the renter is only personally paying $200/mo, they treat the house like it's only worth that much even if the landlord with getting another $300/month from the government. I don't know what the actual numbers are, but the point is, the less a renter personally pays, the more damage they are going to do to the property.

I think im gonna start selling compact houses telling people its made from decomissioned shipping containers (it will be steel framming cdb kek!) to those idiots.
--- 2589451
Why do these threads keep getting made? The answer is real fucking simple. Well over a decade at this point it used to be that no one wanted shipping containers and you could get them for literally almost free, sometimes all you'd have to pay is the delivery fee just so they could get rid of it. That was the appeal. That is no longer the case in part thanks to this social media meme and thus there is no longer a point. Anyone doing it now is paying a premium for junk to be trendy.

>>2589170
Think again. Anyone who has not personally dealt with container structures should recuse themselves.

Learn container grades. WWT grade is condemned for maritime use and the cheapest intact container but the end door gaskets are usually rekt so they leak and the rest often looks like a bag of walnuts. The shit hauled in them is unknown but it washes off. The rest of the box is the problem.

Cargo ready boxes usually remain in use. One trip (new) containers are what you want for shops or other projects. I have two 4-' High Cubes with doors on both ends. Nothing smaller or shorter than that is worthwhile unless there is a genuinely compelling use case for lesser, shorter space.

Shipping containers were only an inexpensive housing possibility before people saw them as an inexpensive housing possibility. Once that happened, it became a virtue signal and prices shot up. It's similar to how chicken wings used to be served in bars for cheap because they were considered waste material but then people got accustomed to having wings when watching sports and the price shot up.

Meanwhile, a rotted out foreclosure shithole that's in far worse condition than the $30k box my family bought decades ago is listed for $84k, and any house that's actually livable without having to invest heavily in repairs and replacements is well into the 6 digits.

They're great for growing herbs and potatoes if you don't live in a crime-ridden shithole. Unfortunately, places like that are becoming more and more rare in Philadelphia. A lot of my friends are being pushed to move to Bensalem or Rockledge.

>just build a fucking frame for less than it costs for the fucking container

A few back a local bar started up a smoked meat business (ribs, brisket, etc) and set up in three 40' shipping containers in the parking lot, one for wood storage, another for the smokers and the third for the "lobby" and the guy doing it said be bought them (in metro Detroit) for around $800 each.

A quick search shows they're going for $2150-3000 each today.

It isn’t cost efficient. People are just averse to trailer parks.

That doesn't make much sense. They're worth plenty as scrap.

You can privately own apartment units too, in fact in many places it's common. It never caught on in NA due to the abundance of space I guess but now we're paying the price.

I don't know where to get those and for my use they'd not be an upgrade. 

I wouldn't mind a couple of proper reefer containers (CONEX are really the little military things from the Nam era) but those are expensive on the East coast even without the Thermo King. 

The best way since most such are sold through the same brokers is call a couple and ask. Prices are all over the place. A private sale could be a deal but ya'd need to prearrange a quote from someone with a Landoll with a winch for a 40 or a rollback truck for a 20.

It doesn't make any sense and that chucklehead never worked with containers hence should shut its cock holster. Even storage grade WWT easily sell for more than scrap because they're really not very heavy and breaking up the floor to separate the wood is tedious.

Containers either work well for special purposes or should be ignored. Poorfags don't deserve a place to live because they're stupid but they keep posting also because they're stupid. Poverty is voluntary unless one is a cripple.

You're clearly generalizing based on one specific place. Even the cruddy little place I have isn't half as bad as you're making it sound. Best part is, no niggers, no spics. Never even seen an active police officer here because we don't need em. It's cheap and peaceful.

There is zero need to have a trailer park to use manufactured housing. It's the fast way to get set up on rural property you own. 

Concern for image is faggotry.

It's mostly true. Unless the rent is over $1200 in my area, Mexicans move 4 families into a single family unit and annihilate it. I'm living in one for $550 and they'd put holes in the walls, used thousands of staples, the yard is dirt, they smoked, threw their garbage down the sides of the stairs and covered it with plastic, and they built a basement bedroom out of shower curtains. The cherry on top was finding used needles in the vents alongside kid's toys.Fucking Mexicans...

I worked on a monstrosity that had like 12 containers. The fucking sound whenever I screwed I did something, it'd be hell to live there. And it was in a fucking windy place so the whole thing made wind noises.

Trailer parks, the concept, are not the issue. I would love living in a park-like community with well built efficient modular/factory homes for a good price. The permanent issue is every time these communities are tried it fills up with human gutter waste who no one with anything positive in their lives wants to live anywhere near, let alone in a community-dominated space. I don't know what the solution is or even why it happens but it always does.
