Sounds like an interesting idea. If this idea takes root, then thousands of shipping containers may be for sale at a much reduced price. I have often thought of making my own underground home from a series of connected shipping containers...

I have been following this for a few months now. This has been undergoing extensive testing by various cargo lines. It has the potential (seems to be coming true) of becoming the next big thing.
We should know how this shakes out within the next 12 months

I have often thought of making my own underground home from a series of connected shipping containers... One cell carrier I did work for used them for cell site buildings. We built a couple hundred sites using shipping containers for buildings. Get ready to use a lot of tar if you decide to do this. Most of the ones I worked in leaked like a sieve. We had one 40' container in North Carolina that literally had a waterfall coming down one interior wall every time it rained until we bryed the roof.....

Collapsing containers are not new.

If they can figure out how to make them waterproof it may work.

Good thread thanks. I have a very nice 20’ shipping container that I plan on using as a storm shelter someday. Perhaps we can all keep in touch and give each other more suggestions as our plans continue?

Must be awful to come up with a revolutionary product during a world wide recession.
