Shipping Container for boiler shed?

[rkusek]

Thanks for the pics. This decision has been tough but I think I'm going to block wall off the back 10ft of the pole barn. This will be the 3rd time in 8yrs I've had to cut a hole in my barn roof thanks to 2 yrs of hail storms. That is what really had me thinking container or separate shed like I should have done from the start. The container solution is going to cost a lot more than I thought by the time I get it in place, plumbed, insulated, walk in door, etc. Wife wouldn't like the look and we know how that goes. I will still have a 30x50 work area in the barn and a 10x30 boiler room. The 500 gal tanks can just go side by side horizontal making an easy hookup. Boiler and everything already set up here I would just need to connect the tanks. A framed wall (non load bearing) would be something easy for me to build but concrete block is probably required and actually cheaper material wise.

hoping not, but still haven't pulled the trigger on ordering the pole barn yet...
How do you like your 1500?
Love my boiler. Reliable, efficient, simple! I was actually thinking about loading the unit on my trailer and putting on one of my project sites this winter to provide temporary heat for a new build that we will be doing this winter, but then I remembered how much fun I had with this last year, and how comfortable my house was last season. Naw, going to keep it right here!

The thing I like best is not having to control the burn. I had a forced air wood furnace before the Garn and was always trying to get the fire too last the night, which led to more chimney cleanings than I wanted.The point I was making about no snow was I built a box around the garn and filled it with roxall bats and insulated the building with 10inches in the ceiling and its still the first on the property to melt in the winter.

I helped a neighbor with this. A Hardy OWF inside with a 1000 gallon dairy tank for storage, entire inside and underneath was foamed.

I saw an EvoWorld pellet boiler being built into a containers with all the piping and buffer tank, last year at their factory in NY.

That is a serious roof structure. How much snow do they get in Missouri?

We are in SW Missouri, many years we don't see snow at all. if so it usually melts away within a few days or a week. I've seen one 10" dump in the 20 years I've been here. The roof was built and assembled by the Amish. By hand!

Very impressive , better than a pole barn,two nice storage units and a 35-40 ft span in the middle.

The coldest I have ever been in my life was one windy February night in St. Louis.
