Do you consider yourself handy on the tools? Then there’s a good chance you’ve outgrown your workshop or at least want to take things to the next level. If that’s the case, a backyard shipping container is the perfect solution for your needs.
Whether you’re looking to become a master cabinetmaker or just love tinkering with your car over the weekend, transforming a shipping container into the workshop of your dreams ensures you have the ideal space to practice your craft without distraction.
Here are just a few ways you can use a shipping container to follow your passions.
1. Repair Workshop
Every DIYer knows there’s no need to pay for a costly tradie when you can simply fix something yourself. If you know a thing or two about restoring electronics or upcycling second-hand furniture, turning a shipping container into a repair workshop makes perfect sense.
With plenty of space for all your tools and multiple half-finished projects, these spaces are incredible for protecting your items against harsh wind and rain. Plus, you can lock the doors at the end of the day to keep your kids away from hazards.
2. Carpentry Studio
Love to spend hours chipping away on a DIY project? Housing your carpentry studio inside a 20-foot shipping container project gives you loads more space than you’d find in your standard backyard shed. Plus, you have way more options for customised lighting and storage.
If you love to spend hours on your projects, but live in an especially hot or cold location, adding insulation to your shipping container is also straightforward. For a low-cost option, rigid foam insulation can make your experience in the studio much more comfortable.
3. Car Workshop
If you take your car care seriously, a shipping container can serve as the ideal automotive workshop. Whether you’ve got a sought-after classic car that you want to keep in secure storage or a special import ripe for modifications, these spaces make for an excellent solution.
Depending on the size of the car, there should be more than enough space to store your tools and get under the hood. Meanwhile, using a shipping container to house your vehicle offers incredible convenience when transporting it long distances.
