In this video we are going to show you 3 Simple Steps on How-To Connect and Seal 2 Shipping Containers joined Together to form a House by highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Stay tuned as we explain the step by step process. Placing shipping containers in parallel side by side is pretty common when building with shipping containers. Once the two containers are correctly positioned and placed on their foundation, the next step is to join and seal the containers together. To the contrary, the joinery process is not as straight forward as it may sound, The protruding corner posts on shipping containers prevents a perfect seal when two containers are places side by side. If you intend to execute this task as a DIY project, you will be required to have tools and materials that are essential to get the job done. We have sampled-out a complete list highly rated and well-priced products and equipment that can be purchased online in the description below.

I'm designing my dream home as we speak and your videos are the most help on the internet. I wish you well and thank you! Can you design a shipping container diner or pop up shop? I would most definitely by the design from your website!!!
I have been looking for a tutorial to do this for so long. Thank you.
love this info. thank you Alex. much love and god,s peace be with you
This video is indeed informative. Thank you for sharing not just the advantages but also the disadvantages of each connection.
lovely description. crisp language and excellent information. Love it.
I enjoyed the presentation, It answered a couple of queries that i had , Cheers
I was hoping it wasn't so involved, but thanks for the valuable information.
Good guideline
great content
Another awesome video brother always providing the goods
This is a great site, thank you so much...very helpful....and you speak so clearly ...
Excellent video. Definitely helped me build up some confidence moving forward.
Good presentation
This video is very thorough and so helpful
thank you.
have you try to design/ construct a container van in two layers/two-story, if there's a toilet above how's the plumbing system works properly in 2nd-floor level considering the p-trap clearances.
sharing your ideas and sample drawing is much appreciated. thank you
Nice video! Helpful.Thanks.
A Video about how to insulate would be also nice.
Useful information, I am joining two containers as you have shown. I prefer the welding process. What will be the dimenions / thickness of the steel plate? Please specify. Thanks
Thanks, it was very informative
This was awesome. Thank You. It's there a builder that you can recommend?
Not yet
Could you do a video about how to reinforce a container after cutting a wall out? I understand that you have to put more steel on the roof edge over the hole to prevent sagging. Thanks for making these videos, it's really not easy to find "good" information on making container homes and you are hitting all the right areas that people have questions about.
I'm far from a pro but ive been watching container builds for a while and I plan on building my own (with the guidance of an engineer)... I want to connect 3x40 ft containers removing all of the interior walls I intend on using two steel I beams running the 24 ft length of the interior width wise.
Great content Alex A... I plan on welding, spray foam sealing AND adding a roof covering. may be redundant but I'll be dealing with lots of snow and I dont ever want to have to worry.
@@theartofflying3580 you can also use the removed interior walls as an additional roofing
that's genius
@@theartofflying3580 Hey, how's your container building going ?
@@wassimhakim7540 great idea. I plan on using conventioal metal roof and use wall cutouts as an attached shed roof, overlayed 1 ft to make a 13 ft by 20 Ft shed with 1 ft fall in the 13 ft.
great information, i like the many options provided
Can you please show how to bolt two 12 meter containers together instead of soldering? Because we want to move our two 12 Meter containers to different locations. Thanks.
Wow, nice info channel! Thanks!!
tHANKS MATE
VERY HELPFUL
New subscriber! Thanks for this video. I see this video was made 4 years ago, is this still the best options for connecting the two containers together?
Great information
Great video! Can you do a video on pros and cons of different methods to build inside walls to include insulation methods? Thanks
It's already done , just search our channel for insulation. You will find it.
Why not show the tie together in the containers vertical
I am going to assume the two steel walls that divide the two containers, are going to be removed. You have two large pieces of steel for your roof.
Intersting
Thank you I like your channel have a lot of good information
You are welcome
Yea the information ia indeed informative. But as a practical thing, it would have been best to see you actually do it. Otherwise what should have been practical became theorised. Kudos all the same.
Really interesting and well equipped know I want this for me more than ever💯💯👍🏽👍🏽✌🏽✌🏽
How do you handle expansion and contraction in the containers if they are welded together?
Excellent tutorial. Just a quickie. Is there any reason why I’d need both an arc welder and a mig welder?
You wouldn't need both.
would painting with waterproofing solution then welding plate to 4 sides (front, back, top and bottom) then fill with spray foam insulation work ok?
provided all surfaces are treated with anti rust inhibitor, it should be ok..
I would weld 1 ft sections every 5 ft then use a really good silicone tooled down followed by red guard rolled on over every inch of the roof. Then a waterproofing membrane used on Windows over all joints and topped off witg a valley flashing glued down with liquid nails.
Can you tell me what the bolts are called or where I can find them? I looked up corner casting bolt and cannot find it.
you can find them if your look for shipping container parts, bolts
If you weld steel plates on the top and sides of containers when they are side by side, is that enough support to then cut out the walls in between for a 16 ft space as opposed to an 8 ft?
No, whenever you cut the sides you need to reinforce it. Otherwise the container will shift from the loss of structure. As I understand, the side plates exert force to keep the container square. Before you remove anything, even cut out a window, you should sodder reinforcement bars. Keep in mind that the info I have comes from other videos. :)
How do you weld or join 2 containers together with a "1 meter GAP" in between, say if I want a Flat Roof.
Cut 1M wide steel tubes and weld the 400mm apart along the floor and the roof to hold firm.

I want to put artificial turf and decking on my shipping container buildings. What is the least expensive and best way to put an UNDER LAYMENT for Artificial Turf? I have some ideas, but I want to know what people have done that works well.
Id use liquid nailes professional glue down gym mats rubber flooring then glue down the turf over that. Great idea
After making sure the rust-resistant paint was good, I would first cover the area with Blueskin.
can you help me Have a Beautifull design of Two or Three Shipping container to a House
YES, check at sheltermode.com/shop
What about if the shipping containers have an offset?
Aaron Huggins I wanted this answered too.
Excellent. What foundation is best to keep out ants, spiders and other bugs?
Would you join the two containers BEFORE cutting out the corrugated sides if you wanted one large interior space, or would you need to do that first, prior to joining?
Either. If modification is insitu, the containers are joined first and made water tight before modification. If fabrication is done offsite, joining is done once delivered onsite.
Thank you for the response! That’s what I figured.
Do you have any thoughts on supporting the structure as removing the sides will surely undermine its integrity? I’ve seen people use custom welded girders, but thought maybe using jacks and then simply framing them in with a column would be easier? Thanks again!
@@christopherzurilla5458 For major structural modifications, it's advisable to consult a structural engineer. For smaller openings, framing is good enough.
Absolutely. Trying to get as much info ahead of time first. Thanks again for the video and answers!
Mastic and spray foam, you’re sure making this to last ... 😂😂😂
Can I place my container on side rather then it default floor side?
yes
I wouldn't risk it! The doors help keeping it from flexing!
Does the company work in Jamaica?
How about South Africa 🇿🇦?
But if we join the way you have explained in the video. Will it compromise the strength of the containers.
Not at all
@@sheltermode is their a way we can eliminate the wood in the construction.
@@Shershivrajhai which wood?. All those questions you are asking have been answered in past videos. Kindly take your time and watch the videos, we have over 400 videos on this channel.thanks.
How do you remove the center side for each container before joining it?
Kartcent Gitlab you can cut it out using a angle grinder or a plasma cutter, but you should have something to help support the i beams that are structural
@@tannerrubach3998 ah okay thanks!

use additional roofing and then collect water in a barrel..
Are you Indian=?
Thank you Captain obvious! Your a real smart guy.hey did you see my video on how to take a shit?
would be better in real, instead of graphics.
These containers will make poppy noises from the heat and cold. The price of finishing one is just about the same as building a small house.
Yes it is best to sit on the sidelines and criticize others while sitting on a couch.
Feedback4Utoday So what’s the price you smart Ass?
Caulk the gap. Before welding
