Bamboo Grove

This is the link to the site that used the refrigerated containers in the image shown in the video, it’s also featured in our free digital book.

Whilst we don’t recommend the use of insulated containers this is a very nice looking project and worthy of review.

Reefer containers are typically sheet and post with foam behind them.  Aluminum outer skin and either Aluminum or Stainless inner skin.  75-100 mm (3-4″) of foam.

    Thanks for your question Paulo

    Are you members of the site or did you purchase the software separately ?

    I’m having trouble gaining access to the software tutorials beyond number 4. They dont show up on my screen. Is there another way to get to them?

    Hi,
    your videos are very encouraging and informative. I consider taking a full membership in the not so distant future. Do you send the software by mail or do I have to download it? I would very much like to start building the containers from scratch as they are quite pricey. Problem is, I tried to get the material from many steel mechants but to no avail. Is it a good idea to make use of plain steel sheets in lieu of the corrugated stainless steel? Please help.

    Informative information.. Very pleased thus far. Looking forward to future tutorials to better grasp the reality and misconceptions that is currently floating around.

    Thank you so much for your efforts. Extremely great information. Wish I had it before I bought two HC 45′ units. My fault, I didn’t inspect before purchasing them. Had them painted which just covered up the rust places that needed repairs. Using them as start of my shop. Placing them apart by 20′ with concrete slab between. No roof yet. I think it was a wise investment and am thinking about a much larger shop in the near future.
