- DIY Off Grid Shack Modified From a Shipping Container - Solar Powered Office, Tiny Home or Cabin
In this video, we will take you along as we convert this shipping container into a solar powered Off Grid Building!
This container will be used as an office-storage combo on an industrial asphalt site. We have modified this container using our bolt-on solutions without having to weld anything to the can.
If you are interested in building an off grid cabin, tiny home, garage, or hunting shack, you can easily do it yourself using our techniques and Container Modifications World’s products!
All of the products we use on this container are DIY, and you can easily install them on your container. The only products that we use that are best to keep to the experts are spray foam insulation and electrical.
Watch this video as we install a door, skylight vents, windows and their protective covers, a propane heater, solar panels and steel stud framing!

At The Container Guy, we are constantly developing new products and engineering practices. We know how to convert sea containers without compromising the integrity of the structure. This channel will take you along as we convert Conex boxes for our clients and show you the proper way to install accessories.
We also hope to provide the shipping container home and tiny home following great tips on how to modify sea cans properly so you don’t make the same mistakes I have!
Our company is based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Although we cannot modify shipping containers for everyone, our available products can be sent anywhere in North America. These products and designs are forever changing. Be sure to check our website to keep up to date on the most recent versions.

Nice change to your normal videos. Making it more about tiny living I hope you get tons more customers. You never stop surprising us with your endless imagination for what is basically a metal box. Keep up the good work guys.
Keep honest people out lol! That's a good one! BTW as an honest person. I could pop the hinges on those latches and have access very quickly. Best to cut a slot in the window grate next time. Otherwise a really well made container for what it is!
Great job! Lot’s of good ideas.
I will be building tiny houses and other modular systems out of sea cans, while searching for ideas and other like minded folks I came across this channel. This really is amazing content.
I like the idea of having a storage area too, had considered maintenance area on the double door side, but hadn't considered opening it up to greater volume of storage than systems/mechanical. Very great idea.
I always learn something new!👌
I would like to see yall make a off grid camp... keep it simple...
Learning A LOT! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
dude, that solar panel frame is the cat's meow, nice design
Wait til you see what we are working on right now 😁😁😁👌
Is a 45° panel much better than laying it flat?
EDIT: I guess for snow it makes sense
Love how you ran a stick of strut down the one side to hide the wiring. Good thinking
Thanks. It worked well
Thank you!
INNOVATIVE👍
This is almost exactly like what I want to build with a 40ft container!! I want a bar on the closed off side, double doors in the middle, and the the open side of the container I want it walled off like you have 🎉
Amazing
Very nice
Thanks, guys.⚡😊👍🇺🇲⚡
I am looking at building precisely this for a remote area in the Philippines with 20kw batteries and 6 x 500w panels. This will run satellite comms and 5g comms as well as keeping power on during a calamity event / typhoon etc.
i just need the forest to drop it
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes
Actually the Kid charge controller is called the kid because it was designed by a kid who started working at Midnite Solar sweeping the floor and was very interested in what the engineers were doing and picked up on what he learned from them and designed the controller
The company does outstanding stuff
Would you be able to power a heating pump to solar power???
Where did you get your security window screen?
Where are you located? Would like to come and see your operation! Pete and Judy
Hey couldn't you put the skylights in the side walls instead and didn't you say that the spray insulation would crack if it not level so would it crack during the shipping and set up process?
I like the Meth screens, definitely a good option. But you need some sort of Meth hardware to keep the solar panels from getting prematurely recycled.
👌👌👌👌
Please guide which brand we can use for similar grid system india for container house.
Bear proof windows this would make a cool little hunting cabin, what's the price tag on this
what's the biggest size container you can get?
Just a suggestion, but you might want to put some retainers under the open window security screen. Wind will make it a noisy day with that SS steel banging around all day. Really like the PVC wall panels!
Thanks Edward. We installed some rubber bumpers for it to hit but something to hold it down is a good idea. The customer is handy and I'm sure they'll come up with something.
Offgrid netzero passive using green sustainable offgrid materials. Hempcrete or diasen- lime clay perlite Diatmetriousearth cork. Not sure if u can use lime on a steel house.

I looked at your window frame kits on Amazon. Specifically the largest, 60" x 36". Are the dimensions outside or inside dimensions for the glass and gaskets?
The dimensions listed are the framed opening. The rough opening will be larger. If you purchase an advertised 60" wide x 36" tall vinyl window with 1" nailing fin, it'll work great.
Can you put a link to the pvc wall panels please? Looks like an awesome product… thanks.
Hello Nicholas, thanks for the question. Here is the link for the pvc wall panels: www.nuformdirect.com/products/reline/
So how do you modify a shipping container, so it dosent look like a modified shipping container?
Could you add an inverter fir 120 volt power and have the solar panel(s) charge the batteries ? To charge cordless tools etc.
100%
The reason I ask is I have a container I keep my RTV in for chores it would be great to have heat and light to plug in the RTV, as the property is not mine, so connecting to the grid isn’t an option. I like what you did with the container in the video.
Hi do you build and ship to CA?
I don't see why not. Email mods@thecontainerguy.ca
Channing, your mod guys will ultimately have a better/easier time using a plasma cutter instead of a cut-off wheel/grinder.
At 19:29 looks like a prison. lol
Aapko ise Hindi me bhi banana chahiye
Isse hm or bhi jyada samajh payenge
If you’re going to call a container a “can” you’ll need to change your name to THE CAN GUY! ;-)
I am working on a tiny container, I can not find any information on the internet how to pass power from outside the shipping container through what I call the “the hull” to the inside and maintain a water tight integrity, any suggestions?
What do you mean by "the hull"? The side wall corrugations? The end wall corrugations? The wood floor?
@@TheContainerGuyTV yes, the side corrugation
here a tip from my research and "try the wrong shhhhht some salsman try to sell you way overpriced". panels: ja solar, everything else: victron energy. try to get the stuff not over a reseller of a re re re seller cuz you knew every chain costs money - buy direct! currently looking forward to get small electrolysor and hydrogen store for small offgrid contend and stockage (hydrogen car f.ex better than lithium ion electric crap) but the wip there is loooong
Thanks
Im add on instagram for reminder. Good to know 😊
Will..you still not wearing gloves??!! Lol
I'll show this to him haha. He refuses
@@TheContainerGuyTV Will a different kinda breed..
Why don’t you just work with detachable container units that you assemble. No crane need, already has insulated panel walls, don’t have to make cut outs, seems like they take away most of the cons of container homes.
I don't understand why so many builders use foam. It makes the rest of the install a total nightmare. just frame the container, run the wire, then insulate, throw up the walls. if extreme weather conditions, foam makes sense but don't get it.
We're from Canada. Our weather conditions are extreme.
Fibreglass batt insulation in shipping containers is unhealthy. Don't recommend it to people, please.
@@TheContainerGuyTV Never heard fiberglass batt was unhealthy. Why?

You never disappoint 👏👏 bravo. May the creativity over flow in your mind so you may create more and an increase in your revenue 🤍
