5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful book., February 16, 2009
By 
This review is from: Intermodal Shipping Container Small Steel Buildings (Paperback)
Very useful book. Focuses on the topic of using shipping containers as utility type buildings.

There are currently many popular notions for using containers as residential homes and apartment buildings (etc), but this book does not delve into these type of structures.

The emphasis here is on low cost do-it-yourself methods of building. Lots of good info on movement, footings, roofs, and joining containers. Also has a great specifications section.

Book has a fair amount of info for only 116 pages (it uses small print and has lots of diagrams crammed onto each page). Some more attention to interior floor plans would have been nice. Overall I would say it's worth the twenty bucks I paid.

This review is from: Intermodal Shipping Container Small Steel Buildings (Paperback)
After receiving similar info (on CD) as a gift, just before receiving this book, I was concerned I had duplicated my resources. Not a concern! This book is more complete, more up-to-date, better illustrated and handier. All this for the same $$.

If you want to turn a cargo container into a building of any sort, Get This Book !! All info, no fluff.

This review is from: Intermodal Shipping Container Small Steel Buildings (Paperback)
I purchased this book for my husband (and self) to begin our investigation into container building. The information on specific construction information along with the diagrams is very helpful and an excellent addition to our container library.
