Glen Christensen All Messages By This Member #108112 I was wondering if anyone stores material in shipping containers. I was recently approved to be a distributor for moulding and hardwoods. I am moving forward with the building addition to accommodate that but that is a lot of nice footage to store product that i would like to keep for shop space . So in my thinking shipping containers would let me keep my new shop space. I know there are condensation problems with containers and trying to figure how to deal with that. I think the issue is manly MDFU as much as I hate it, it is the trend here, The other line I got was Bodyguard which will be more stable than MDF. Containers are cheap to buy and I have the room, but I have to eliminate the condensation issue. Any Thoughts? Thank you as always, Glen
horans64 All Messages By This Member #108113 I bought a 40 foot high cube 2.5 years ago and was very worried about condensation too, but it has not been a problem at all. ? We go from just below freezing up to 45 celsius here in south east Australia and lots of wet thick fog in winter.? The container has stayed very dry and machinery has not rusted like it does in my shed. ? Good luck they are cheap storage for sure. Eric -- Eric J. Smith? Trading as W.G.

My environment is admittedly pretty dry (I live near Spokane, WA), but I've been storing both tools and lumber in a container for several years without any issues. -- Michael Garrison Stuber.

Trevor Lusty All Messages By This Member #108125 Glenn, ? ? ? ? ? ?I ran a timber business in Northern Ireland for twenty four years. For approximately a five year period during that time, we stored all of our machined hardwoods and softwoods in twenty foot containers double stacked. On the ground floor containers, we racked them out with 2"x1" box iron frames in 24"x24" sections. Bolted an Elu chop saw on the inside of the door for easy ?cross cutting of the timber. No more twists or shakes than normal, no damp or water ingress ,although we have a very different climate from you!? Great for security, easy to reconfigure storage in your premises as no planning permission required, and no local council taxes applicable, as containers were regarded non permanent structures and we moved them around every six months.

Glen Christensen All Messages By This Member #108176 Thanks All, I think I am going to give it a shot, I will setup some form of better venting and may have the insides shot with a bit of spray foam.

Glen Christensen All Messages By This Member #108226 Cliff, That is my back plan at last case scenario. ?I had a container down in the Bay Area on the coast that I stored my tools in before moving to the shop and did that and it worked well. I Tried to use the unit in my new shop untill? i got a controlled environment but it would just freeze up. ?Glen Alpine Moulding and Millwork Inc. Mail: ?? P.O. Box 257 ??????????
