In the previous video of the shipping container conversion series I cut we welded the shipping container window and door frames, and this this episode I'm framing the shipping container.

Shipping container framing can be done a number of ways, the method I've chosen is to use 2 x 3 timber in the recesses of the shipping container wall corrogations, accross the container roof, and floor - all pressing outwards. This means the frames are held solidly within the container structure with minimal fixings.

The box section top-rails of the shipping container are one primary fixing point, and the 27mm plywood floor is the other primary fixing point. The top rails on the ends of the container are not box section, so screwing through these is a mistake as it's only a single layer of steel.
