Shipping stuff. Or an extra stock room for an autozone that outgrew it's store capacity, so they put one in the parking lot to store radiators, radiator hoses, fan clutches, brake shoes, etc.

Paint solves that nicely. My 20 in pic. So does not being autismal about how others use their property.

As for why they use them, containers are tough and don't require a poured slab, just support at the corners. Mine aren't obtrusive because camo and latest addition is tan.

Container haters don't know what to do with them. Container proponents who have no experience with them make dumbfuck suggestions on what to do with them because the spergtard mind is fundamentally superficialist.

There is little to invent with containers but the spergtard mind insists on silly ideas instead of LEARNING what containers work well for and what you can copy at a personal level. Most stupid use of a container is burial. You can have the same rape dungeon experience leaving them aboveground along with much easier access.

Containers are best used by active people who DO things containers facilitate. If not sure, buy one to play with. A railroad tie under each end is usually ample support, and you can shim the corner fittings to level the container. Floors are already "machinery rated" because they are how machine tools travel the planet.

If you are not into the esthetic, avoid them, don't try to change the looks, because while you can do that the delicate artist mind will REEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! at anything less than a new Parthenon. Save yourself the headache.

Structures are specific solutions to specific problems and most people don't need a container. For that matter most people will never want a workshop.

I'd actually kinda like to turn a connex box or two welded together (side by side) into my designated fix-it-til-you-fuck-it chamber with all my shit in it and its own generator to run things.
how feasible is this?
>>1136539
makes me think of my uncles 20 ton AT crane he painted camo with rattlecans to avoid the HOA shitting up his house
speaking of, if you put two or three together side by side, and maybe some stacked up top, and cut all the walls out, you could have a decent vehicle storage facility
