Plan your project

A few details before you build.

Which container sizes are supported?

The offering includes options for 10, 20, 30 and 40 ft containers. Select the layout that matches your container length.

What roof style is available?

This solution is available with a gable roof: two sloping sides meeting at a central ridge.

Where can I see the dimensions and details?

Each size will have its own downloadable PDF layout in the size selection above.

What are the trusses made from?

Cold-formed steel (CFS), also known as light-gauge steel — steel shaped at room temperature into thin, strong structural framing components. It is the same material system FrameUpNow uses across its homes and ADUs.

Why put a gable roof on a shipping container?

A pitched roof sheds water and snow away from the container rather than letting it sit on a flat top, and it creates a ventilated space above the container. It also lets a container structure take conventional roofing materials.

Do I need special tools or trade skills to assemble it?

Any trade can work with steel framing. Components are joined with screws suitable for steel, and FrameUpNow holds training sessions for framers and publishes a series of assembly videos.

Is the steel resistant to termites, rot and fire?

Cold-formed steel is 100% termite proof and does not rot. It is also non-combustible, which is one of the reasons it is used for building in wildfire-exposed areas.
