Have a 20’. Cut two windows and a regular entry door into it, a partition wall that creates 8’ of storage area accessible by the standard doors, and an office in the other 12’ with the windows and door. LED lights and some receptacles, lvt flooring, 2x2 studs, insulation and plywood on the sidewalls and ceiling.
$2,000 for the container, Probably another $2,000 in the work.
Pretty handy. It’s been on a job for 18mos, bout to move it to another job where it will be for 24 mos.

We have 3 on the property. 2 at 40', 1 at 20' feet to store my excess and miscellanious. I have loaded 100s with food products for shipment.
I have yet to see one without ventilation in the top corners.
But still, I would not wish to be locked in one. Probably would hit 120 degrees in the summer sun. I prefer to buy used refrigerator containers, they have zero vents, steel floors and come insulated with closed cell foam between the steel inner and outer walls, floor and ceiling. To each his own.. Glad you can afford offhire reefers when you an find one. At this point all the shippers are fixing reefers with major damage due to the critical shortage of reefers. There’s one at SSA right now they dropped while unloading it from the ship. They’re chopping it up and trying to rebuild it but I think they’re wasting their time. I doubt they’ll ever get it straight enough to fit a chassis. Seriously damaged reefers are the only ones on the market right now. And…if you’re worried about someone sneaking up and locking you inside all you need to do is lock the turn latch closed with the door open and they now need to open the lock and open the turn latch to close the door.

We used to lock each other in the -20 walk in freezer at Wendys.
It was hilarious

Got a one-tripper 20 foot for $3500 DELIVERED, about 5 years ago. Same thing would be about $5000-$5500, now. A 40-foot one-tripper is over $8k. Prices WAY up..
(Yeah, I know. Somebody y’all know bought one for $2500, last week🙄.)

buy an Amish building if you have them in your area. I have one and it's built like a house with 16" centers and a strong floor. You can even choose the color, door placement, trim, roof type, and window placement.

They are just a steel box, and they can get pretty dang hot in direct sunlight.

I had not heard of any shortage. My Son in Law just purchased two more 40 footers in the last month. I have no idea on the cost.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

Even standard uninsulated containers are way up in cost due to shortages. They’re still selling rusty hulks cheap but good straight containers are all being used right now and not off hired.

No. Not reefers. Intact weathertite 40 foot cans suitable for storage of household goods and furniture while the next house is built.

We use smaller ones offshore for shipping. I have seen them used for living quarters and storage shop space. They are solid buildings.
