Shipping Container Homes: A Guide on How to Build and Move into Shipping Container Homes with Examples of Plans and Designs

This book is perfect! I wanted to do some research and get a well-rounded review of container homes and how well they would or would not fit my lifestyle. With everything from floor plan examples to general instructions from beginning to end, this is the perfect book to start your research with! It also has pictures and shows more than one way of doing things. To the author: Fantastic job, this book is great!

This book is really great! It's easy to read, there's tons of advice and the author makes you aware of a bunch of options with no nonsense. When I finally settle down I'll use this book to help me build my shipping home. I'm not personally interested in any of the floor plans in the book but maybe someone else would find them helpful. The rest of the info was very useful.

I'm on the fence between 3 and 4 stars. If you know nothing about container building (and I didn't), the first few chapters are informative as the author provides some important info that pertains specifically to container acquisition and building, but after that, it's pretty much an overview of standard non-container construction. If you have no construction experience at all, this book is a good primer. If you have any construction or even renovation experience, you'll find 2/3's of the book of limited value. I don't know when this book was written, but it has an entire page for "telephone" connections and that tells me the book hasn't been updated in a while as there is absolutely no mention of cable for hi-speed internet, satellite (if you're of grid), solar connections, etc. A lot has happened in the container building world in the last 5 years, so while this book does have some value in the early chapters, it is in need of an update. For $7 it was worth it to read the first few chapters. There are no color photos in the book. They are all grainy, black and white photos and some very simple diagrams, so for the cost, it wasn't a bad investment.

I expected color pictures

I recommend for anyone interested in Building their Shpping container home. Very useful advice. Detailed and to the point. I will be building mine soon . . . hopefully 🤞

Very concise with a check list at the end of each chapter. I recommend this book to anyone considering building a shipping container home.

Has a TON of layout plans and designs. I got it for my bf because this is something we want to do and he loves it!!! Lots of great ideas and it’s totally worth the money!

Disappointing book.No plans that serve to build, only examples of plants and without measures. All information is free on the internet. Money spent on garbage.

Sehr schönes Buch

Though I may not do a do-it-yourself, I believe this book would help me check intelligently the would-be supplier's work.

The book is just for curious people not for technical knowledge.

Great book to start with when diving into the research part of a shipping container home project. There is also a lot of basic normal home interior information to though.

Good book very informative
