Whether you're designing a container home or love bold DIY projects, this one is for you. NO WELDING REQUIRED! | Whether you're designing a container home or love bold DIY projects, this one is for you. NO WELDING REQUIRED! #shippingcontainer #doublewide... | By Affordable Shipping Container Homes | Have you ever had the idea of buying 2 40 -foot shipping containers cutting out the centre walls and slapping them together? It's a little more difficult than that. But in this video we're going to walk you through the steps and show you an engineered solution to give you a double wide 40 -foot shipping container. Stay tuned. Hi I'm Channing McCorston the Container Guy we've received a customer order for a structurally engineered stamped and permitted 40 -foot double wide shipping container we'll be using 240-foot high cube1 time use containers cutting out the centre walls installing structural headers performing a few other modifications shipping them off to the customer in Northern Alberta and then reassembling on site what happens often here at The Container Guy is customers come to us with their we work closely with the customer in developing a solution and that is exactly what's happened here this customer we've actually already built the first prototype double wide shipping container they liked it so much they came back for a second so we've made revision to the design once this kit is finalized all revisions made this will be available to the public for purchase check us out TCG. CA we'll keep you updated on when this is available we're very fortunate that the customer already has a concrete slab on site for their foundation. Uh if you're going to cut out the full 40 feet of a container, the floor is going to sag. So, in order to mitigate this floor sag, even when on a concrete pad, it's still going to sag a half inch or twelve million because the bottom channel is higher up than the corner castings and so yeah, if you just set a can on concrete, it would only touch in the four corners. So, to mitigate the floor sag even a half inch, it's still kind of annoying when you're operating in there. We've got a half-inch thick flat bar that four inches wide we'll be installing it underneath the channel stitch welding it all the way across and flush with the corner castings so here we have the first 20 foot length of flat bar clamped on and tucked in place just want to show you the difference between installed and knots so that gives us that extra half inch of clearance on the underside of the channel we've went over with the grinder to get all the undercoating off and nice and level so it's not pushing down on the flat bar in weird places now that we have the flat bar all welded up on the bottom side of the channel there. We're going to get into installing the temporary post. So what we'll do is we'll cut out. There's just a small panel section on these 40s from weld to weld. We'll cut that chunk out. We're going to weld in our temporary structural post prior to us installing the header and dropping the full 40 feet. So that's just going to make sure the header strong enough to support the weight of the floor and the roof. So that temporary post is going to keep the floor from sagging as we handle this thing and as we deliver to the customer until it is set up in play on site. So just pop in the shop here and check in on the progress. Our ticketed red sealed journeyman welders have the trusses all tacked together. Once they're all tacked together they'll be clamping them down making sure there's no warpage and then finish welding up all of the seams and edges. These trusses are sectioned into 10 to 12 foot lengths. This makes them much more manageable once they're all finished up to install on the container. So these are all be fully welded white metal sand blasted and then powder coated and then when we go to install these into the container just one at a time they'll be lifted up and bolted into place there'll be no welding after that process performed that's when we start cutting the wall out we finished welding up the header sections and have laid them out all on the floor just to test fit everything we bolted everything together just to make sure proper fitment and no funny gaps so these are now ready to dismantle they'll all fit nicely on one pallet and then they'll ship off to powder coating. So they're going to get a white metal sandblast and then we're going to do our nice textured black finish. So we're back in the can. The temporary post is now put in. Uh the next step we're going to do is we're going to start strut lining the wall. We'll do this as we wait for the headers to come back from powder coating. So we've marked out all of the corrugations. Every second corrugation we're going to be installing our CSM brackets. And then strutlining the wall and then be going across the ceiling as well we're doing this in the non-insulated position and what might be kind of funky with this one is that we're actually going to be spray foaming the ceiling so even though they're going to be installed in the non-insulated position and then we're spray foaming we're doing that to handle the snow loads in the Arctic so the strut will be very tight to the ceiling and then the spray foam is just going to bridge that final gap and what that's going to do is because snow typically falls off both sides of the container now we have that long header on the one side where the two containers join the snow can't the water can't melt and drip off that side so it's potentially going to be an additional accumulation of snow in here and that could eventually concave the ceiling and who knows collapse it or something so we want to be we want to ensure that that whole ceiling is a nice two inch thick slab of foam with some steel structure in there that's going to handle all the weight in the arctic and allow the snow to and go off this side for this can and then the other side on the other. So on this side of the can this is the wall section that's going to get removed. We're still waiting for the headers to show up from powder coating. And we'd like to get at strut lying this and potentially even spray foaming the ceiling prior to installing the the header and dropping all the the wall panels. So this bracket allows us to install strut on the square tube of the container and then it is actually completely out of the way. So when the welders are cutting the panel they're not going to drop my strut on the inside of the can while they're doing it. This is getting spray foam. So you see it's nice and tight to the ceiling. We're going to be doing two inches of spray foam insulation in this one. That's going to lock that right in. And then this roof corrugation here that's really echoey you know it dimples when you step on it that keeps that nice and stiff now once you got this thing spray foam to jump back on the roof you cannot move that corrugation it's rock solid it's super important to walk through the container with your spray foam contractor the actual sprayer and go through with them what you actually want sprayed and let them know what you don't want over spray on the better the prep work they do ahead of time the better the finish is at the end and the spray foam the the particles that kind of settle in the air and land on things it's it's pretty icky stuff and if it lands on the floor of the container it can often discolor it even after you scrape it off so yeah make sure that you poly down on the floor if you're not finishing afterwards and cover off any walls that you're not foaming that you don't want foam stuck to. What we're going to have to do is just make sure that we tape off very nicely over top of all of the the CSM brackets that we're not overspraying on them. And then on the other side where we're going to be cutting the wall out. We want to make sure that we don't foam the underside of the tubing. We just go up to this this plane of the the tubing there. These guys here at Comfort they do a great job taping everything off making sure that we don't over spray anything that shouldn't be sprayed. I want to point out the type of tape that they use because it's pretty it's pretty good stuff. They I think it's probably it's pretty low cost. It's a three M scotch tape packing tape. This brown tape here and so this going over all of the the front face of the unistrut stops foam from getting in there and then it's super simple to rip this stuff off afterwards and doesn't leave any funky residue on the steel surface. So for this double wide kit. The spray foamers are just doing two inches of insulation on the ceiling but if this was for a container home project, our spray foam contractor recommends three inches of spray foam on the walls and the ceiling and typically either the underside or you're going to have to do some sort of rigid foam underneath a sub floor to make sure that you have a nice foam envelope inside of your shipping container. So the headers have arrived from powder. It's time to jump up there and install them in the can. What makes this kit so great is that they're in ten to twelve foot lengths and so they're relatively easy to handle and get up onto this can. All we have to do is just pre drill and self-threading bolt each header section in. If you've watched any of our other videos you might start recognizing Travis by now. He's he's our electrician which is kind of interesting to know here because typically when you're doing a header that's going to span an entire 40 foot cut out of a container you need a welder there not an electrician but because these kits are modular and drill and bolt together you know he's a better man for the job than them and furthermore we're just so busy with mods right now that I need his help and he's a good guy to be here and help me and willing to so I appreciate that but yeah Travis A and R Electric you want to size your drill bit for the smaller portion of this thread cutting bolt and then that little notch in the threads that's actually a drill bit so to speak. So that will make the hole a bit larger to the size that it needs. And it'll also start cutting the threads. So that you don't need to actually drill right through the 60 millimeter tubing. You can just use this bolt. They're a case hardened bolt. They're going to the outside of the top tubing but not right through your container and and be a thermal bridge. So far this just been going together like butter. We've been loving it compared to the last time. Just so refined the the design of it in the 3D models. Everything's lining up perfectly. We haven't had any problems yet and hopefully it continues that way. So we've got the first two header sections in and we're working our way back. We're so confident that we're kind of bolting it up a bit more thinking that we're not going to have to take it down and make any adjustments and we'll see if that decision pans out. If you notice a tinier ridge from one truss to the other it's not a problem because the ridge cap that goes after this once the two containers are brought together. It's just a ridge basically a peaked ridge. So there'll actually be a bit of a gap here anyway. The ridge cap secures to this flange so don't worry if there's a bit of a heap on one side or the other here. Our electrician has finished bolting up the headers onto the two containers. So the next step here now is to have the welders come in and drop the corrugation panels. What's super important to note is that we left the panel attached to the container in four different places. The one tore over there. We got two other places in the middle. And then one over there at the end. So that just make sure that when this panel drops it doesn't come back in and take out your ladder just to safety for the for the welder that's dropping the panel and then a second thing to note we drag a pallet underneath this panel. So now once we just finish these few little tacks and drop it down we can come at this with our forklift and lift up this 18 foot sheet not have it all bendy on us. We'll probably use the same pallet and drop all four panels on the same one so we can get this up and out of here and either reuse these panels for other projects or send them off for recycling. Now that the container is strut lined, Travis is right at home as he installs the LED light fixtures and runs his EMT conduit between them. Notice he uses a laser level which ensures the lights are nice and straight as you look down them from one end of the container. The customer one switch to turn on the lights in both containers. The Travis will leave a wire loop out of the last light fixture that will have to be connected into the junction box by the electricians at sight after this is delivered to the customer. This double wide kit will come with these high capacity bridge fittings. The one side of them is magnetic and so it'll actually kind of stick and hold into that can. The twist locks to slide into the casting first. So, we'll get these in the four corner castings of the one container and then slide the other one up to it Uh when using these it's great when both containers can be sharing the same foundation whether it be a concrete pad or here we got the steel eye beam here so that they stay on the same plane and line up nicely and then there's two different sizes of these. This is the bottom corner casting the oval shape. There's also one that fits in the shield shape of corner castings and that's for the top because these are typically used when you're putting 210 foots together to make a 20 foot, which can fit now in a vessel slot or you can actually put 220s together which would make a and it handles. Uh just like a 40 with our top lift. So they're super strong. I think the handle they're rated for 65, 000 pounds. They're awesome and yeah totally helps us make this double wide kit and then make it possible. So it leaves us three inches between the cans which is very nice and useful when it comes to making framing kits and flashing kits and folding special profiles. It's a little easier from the top because you can actually get your hand up and inside the corner casting through the top hole. And just remember the magnetic side with these is the the regular thread and then the non-magnetic side is a reverse thread so that once the two cans come together when you use your pry bar or whatever to spin this and and suck it all tight the bolt is going to suck both nut in this casting and that casting. A big thing with this header kit is you want to make sure that the lower one is here in place first and then you got the the higher one with the higher interior flange that comes in afterwards so that you're not fighting the design of the header and the way that the the two flashings come together. So we have the two have lined up together. And now we're just going to grab our top lift and just nudge it forward. We only gotta move it about an inch or two forward on these eye beams. So slide them together. See how these bridge fittings come together and then do the final hookup. This is just being test fitted here. So we can try out all the flashings. Maybe pre drill as many holes as we can for the customer. And have it as simple as possible for them to put together when it gets to site. So we've sled the two halves together. They're not completely together yet. But we have the heavy duty bridge fittings in between them. Now we just need to tighten them up. And that's going to suck the two halves together. Uh it's a left hand thread here. Right hand thread on the other side. Once we start sucking these together that's going to align the two containers perfectly so you don't have to worry about you know millimeter here a millimeter there prior to welding. These bolts are going to do the work for you. Once they're all set and done there's this that's just a safety lock. So if you put that down then it doesn't allow this bolt to loosen itself off. So that was pretty simple and out of a few minutes we have these 240s put together. They're ready to go. I really stand by these high capacity bridge fittings. I think they're the game changer for us trying to build double wide kits. So now to finish off this enclosure. So we got four ridge caps that go on the roof and those get either self-tapping screwed or bolted through the angled profile of this header. And then there's two end plates. So we've already laser cut and powder coated caps that just cover the end here. And then this is fully C off on this side and then inside the can is just two channels that close off that three inch gap. I So here's the finished product. This is what it feels like to be inside 2 40-foot shipping containers. So way bigger, way larger, much more usable space. Once it gets to site, the customer is going to be able to remove these temporary transport posts so they'll have that full open clear span. They'll weld in their eighth inch six inch wide flat bar along the floor. That'll be the threshold plate between the two cans. And take up that gap. And then we've already test fit the end cap for the end walls here and so that closes everything up there. Up top they'll bolt two headers together and then reconnect the wiring on site and this thing's in operation. This is such a cool product. Such a cool mod. Both times that I've built these for this customer and I've wanted to keep them. Can't wait to get this get refined even further and get available to you the public.
