How to Build a Shipping Container Cabin

Disclaimer: I am not a professional builder, engineer, or architect. What I have written here is strictly a description of what I have done and not advice. I make no assurances that this will work, meet code, or be safe to inhabit for you. Building with shipping containers can be dangerous and may injure (ask me how I know) or kill you. If you attempt anything similar to this you do so at your own risk.
1. Design your cabin
Before you buy any containers or do anything else, you should have some idea how you want to live in your shipping container cabin. Figure out how much space you want, or really need, and start working up a floor plan. For the most part you will be limited to standard shipping container dimensions of 8′x20′ or 8′x40′ and multiples of these. The simplest arrangement of containers is to line them up as I did, but you are really only limited by your imagination and checkbook.
A great tool to design your shipping container cabin is Google SketchUp. You can get detailedshipping container models for Google SketchUp from ISBU News, and almost everything else you might need from Google’s 3D Warehouse. If you are looking for some inspiration, take a look at the tiny house websites Tiny House Design and Tiny House Blog.
