Anybody here put doors and windows in one? I now have one and want a regular door, and maybe a window. At some point I will need air condition put in. Do you find a door with a steel frame and just weld it in a cut hole, or do you cut the hole, frame it with angle iron and put a regular door/window in place. Seems either would work, and a regular door would be easier to find, and maybe cheaper. I have a small wire welder, but am not real good, but have a neighbor and also a Brother-in-law that makes their living welding. All help appreciated. miles

Miles,
I had the place where I bought mine put in door and window. I just didn't have the capability to do it. Glad I took this advise from another campfire member. He mentioned that without proper protective gear, there may be some less than desirable contents in any dust created from cutting and welding. So be careful
But to answer your question , yup. Metal frame door is what they used on mine. Cut a hole in it and inserted door and windows. They did weld in iron to frame out areas a bit before installation. I'm happy. I'd never got it done on my own

Miles, did you look closely at the last pic Bob posted? Plywood on part of the wall and OSB on part! The leg on that work bench is straight, just not straight up-and-down! Also note that Bob is saving money on paint. I just hope when I get to see your container, you haven't copied Bob's example of fine workmanship!!! (I wish I had a container and a place to put it-- )

Miles, Hell I dunno what I'm gonna make , but I got it for free! Randy, I absolutely HATE painting with a passion!!!! Still confused over work bench leg???? The plywood part of shop is the actual shop. OSB section is for storage. Did t see no need for plywood in the storage section. "He is mad, but there is method in it!!!"

Miles,
I used to make offices and tool cribs out of them, complete with AC, windows, ceilings and tile floors. Used metal studs.

The guys at deer lease build a wall a couple of feet inside the front doors. They have a door and the AC in the new interior wall. That way its very secure plus you don't have to do any metal cutting. They have a bucket to catch AC water. One guy has a really long one. He has wall backed in enough to have room for jeep. Still plenty for living quarters. Window-door make it easy for break ins.

What's it cost to buy one of those, Looking around on the net, I think it will depend on where you live, a lot. I got mine for $3000, delivered. They go here from around $2500 to $3200 depending on the condition. This one belonged to a friend and I went and looked, saw that it was in very good shape and bought it. He delivered it. He had been storing feed in it on a place that He had rented. Rented a new place that had barns and sheds. On mine, 1 of the big doors open easy and the other a little harder. Might just need oiling, but using it a lot, a regular door would be nice. I am going to insulate but have not decided my method just yet. Fiberglass bats might be just as good as there will be no air flow. Also thinking that I could tack some small pieces of angle and put 2"x2" studs pretty easy to put light plywood or cheap paneling. I have a small wire welder that should work for that. It will be a slow progress and doing a lot of thinking right now. Break ins are not a problem where I live, at the present. First thing I need is electric in there. Right now using an extension cord. I have electric close. miles

What Miles said.
Paladin, I framed inside of mine with steel studs too! Great getaway place for me. Work bench, reloading bench, cleaning bench, and cool in the summer!!! Gonna move spare refrigerator out soon.

I found a small one in the woods where i hunt, it had been used for a bear blind / hunting shack by a local outfitter. Land owner made him remove it at the end of the season.. Nice set up...
