In this blog we’ll show you how to attach various lengths and diameters of metal tube or pipe vertically to a shipping container using our selection of vertical tube clamp accessories.

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.

We have had a few enquiries from people trying to gain a better understanding of the difference between a twistlock and a Domino Clamp. Discover similarities and differences in our blog.

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. The chunky 16ft by 14ft timber-framed platform overhangs the roof of the container by a considerable amount, more than doubling the floorspace provided by the roof alone. 

The easiest way to recognise if your shipping container is made to ISO standards is to look at the markings. If it’s an ISO container it will have a 4 digit code printed on the top right hand corner of the door as you look at it from the outside. Discover what else to look out for in our blog.

A rope or tension wire attached to a shipping container can provide a useful addition to your conversion project. In this blog we will provide an overview of how to correctly attach a rope or tension wire using an M12 eyebolt, available now in our shop.

In this new series we wanted to show you how some of our customers have been using Domino Clamps and our Bolt-Ons for their projects. Mike Abbs, a resident of Bella Vista recently used Domino Clamps to attach timber framing and cladding to a shipping container when constructing a beer garden in Blowing Springs Park.

In this article we'll guide you through making your own custom shipping container brackets. These are designed to work with Domino Clamps to attach other accessories to your shipping container. If you are looking for a hassle-free option, check our range of ready-made brackets.
