Cargo Container sap shack

[Haynes Forest Products]

I was working in my 8x8x40 cargo container and it dawned on me that it would make a nice sugar shack with a few easy improvments. They dont need a foundation, could pour cement with drains and let water go under them, There water proof, hard to burn down if you cement the evap. area, put on skids could be moved, Sawzal and some treated lumber and windows your done, easy to install flue stack, can be insulated from the outside with siding, rodent proof, theft proof, you can always sell it and go bigger, easy to add to just bolt another one on . will take small arms fire without danger to the family, big doors for wood loading, doors at both ends if you want, you dont need a nail gun just a welder to put up shelves seats, Would add to your redneck reputation........if you have one.
I was on line and they are all over the place and ready to go

I use something similar. My saphouse is a retired insulation truck body

Is it setting on the frame and do you still use the doors that it had.

[michiganfarmer]

The frame is sitting on logs, and yes, I do use the existing doors.

Well, I cant use the side door this year. My 3x12 takes up to much space, but I used it when I had a 2x6. I will only be using the double doors on the back end for a few years.
