Creating a Man Cave With a Shipping Container

Dry Box explains all about creating a man cave with a shipping container. Our containers are perfect for creating a man cave because we have a plethora of modification options that allow you to get the man cave of your dreams. If you can dream it – we can build it!

Benefits of a Man Cave

Men around the world visualize a place that they can call their own – a place where they can watch sports, drink beer, hang out with their buddies and play video games. The prized man cave seems to be a reality for some and a lofty goal for others. Sometimes a man cave doesn’t seem like it can come to fruition because there isn’t enough space in the home to dedicate an entire room to “man things.” Dry Box suggests an unconventional solution, a modified shipping container turned man cave.

Shipping containers are perfect alternatives to the typical basement, spare room, or even outdoor shed. Many people don’t have the extra rooms, or a basement to call their own so then they consider a shed. The problem with a shed is they can get incredibly expensive if you want to get a shed that is specifically designed to your needs.

The High Cost of Outdoor Sheds

A simple tool shed isn’t extremely expensive. You can easily find a tool shed for less than $1000 at a nearby hardware store, or even online. However, the shed will not have any luxuries that would be conducive to what would be acceptable as a man cave. There are just four walls and a roof and sometimes the cheaper shed doesn’t even have floors.

The cost of sheds can become extremely high once you begin adding personalized touches such as flooring, insulation, electricity, windows, shelving, heating and air conditioning. All of the amenities that would be suitable for your man cave are not readily available options in a shed – it needs to be built custom.

Even though a custom shed might be able to give you what you want, it is still something that you have to keep up with. A wood shed will start deteriorating in the harsh weather and will need new paint, new siding and even a new roof over the years.

Shipping Container for a Man Cave

The reason a shipping container is the best option for a man cave is its durability. Here at Dry Box, all of our shipping containers are required to meet industry standards for containers that are going to be sailing across oceans, so as you can imagine these are very high standards. Whether you are in the snowy climate of Salt Lake City, or the rain from the Pacific Northwest, our containers are designed to withstand any weather you can throw at them.

Our shipping containers are amazing because they can be modified to fit every need. We have a list of modification options that can be used for your container to get the perfect man cave.

Some modification options include:

• Windows
• Lock Boxes
• Doors
• Skylights
• Roll up doors
• Flooring
