In this blog we are going to show you how to bolt structural timber onto your ISO shipping container, quickly and easily, and without having to make a single hole in your container.  Once attached, the timber can be used as a basis for many additions such as a roof deck or building another structure off the side of your container such as a carport or shade structure.

In this blog we’ll show you how to attach a tube or pipe perpendicular out of the side of the corner casting so that it comes out at a 90 degree angle away from the container. Attaching a bar or horizontal support to a container is a really practical way of then attaching other things off your container, particularly things which can hang, like signage, lighting, drapes or banners.

Attaching timber to a shipping container creates the opportunity to build other structures on or around your container such as stairs, handrails or even a roof deck using just woodworking tools and without having to make a single hole in your container.  In this blog we show you different methods of attaching timber to your shipping container whilst leaving your shipping container completely undamaged.

Marc-Andre L from Canada recently used Domino Clamps in his project to build a shipping container roof deck on top of a 10ft shipping container.

So far we’ve provided solutions to attach a metal tube to a shipping container vertically, for attaching accessories like floodlights and CCTV. And horizontally, sticking out perpendicular to the container which can be particularly useful if you want to attach something at the same height as the top of the shipping container like a hanging sign. So the last orientation to solve was to attach a tube horizontally along the side of a container. 

Metal tubes are a really useful and versatile fixing point, so being able to attach one to a shipping container opens up a lot of possibilities.
