My friend Matt just finished outfitting this seacan for metal storage. The plan is to compliment the steel storage in his main shop to accommodate retail sales for the little guys. Heres a shot of it in his parking area showing overhead bunkers to accommodate big stuff.
Crossmembers every 40 for support and lined with 20 gauge so the pieces slide easily without catching.
Expandable cart ^^^shown in above photo to allow moving up to full 24 foot lengths easily.

Reply:Matt went with a 20 foot container because he got it for a great price. He cut the front end out and added another 10 feet to accommodate the 24 foot sticks.
40 footers are always the cheapest but it would have stuck out too far into the parking lot. He thought he would purchase and add a ten foot container until he found out how much they cost due to the popular size for homeowners. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk:

Reply:I just wish I knew how to search for containers for sale by local owners. Craigslist and FB-Marketplace are saturated with national sellers posing as local, or their agents that are local.
