Why Choose a Shipping Container for Your Man Cave or She Shed?

Shipping containers are built to withstand everything that Canada can throw at them: snow, rain, wind and even the odd ice storm. This durability makes them a great space on their own, but there are actually many other benefits:

  • Shipping containers are customizable! You can easily modify a container to suit your needs—add doors, windows, insulation, electrical, and more.
  • Shipping containers are affordable! Compared to traditional construction, using a container saves both time and money.
  • Shipping containers are portable! If you ever move, you can take your customized man cave or she shed with you!

 

How Should You Design Your Shipping Container Retreat?

Whether you’re creating a guy-centric man cave for gaming, sports or just hanging out with friends or a relaxing she shed for reading, crafting or yoga, here are some must-have ideas to include.

Things to Include in the Ultimate Man Cave

Comfy Seating – Recliners, couches and bean bags are essential for relaxation.

Digital Entertainment – A TV, gaming consoles and sound system for the ultimate viewing experience.

Fridge – And for the bar around your non-alcoholic cold storage unit, install shelves for bottles and a bar counter for mixing drinks.

Sports Memorabilia Wall – Display all of your sports accomplishments and your favourite team’s jerseys, flags and other collectibles.

Game Table – Even a shipping container can fit a foosball table, poker table or other gaming things, like a dart board.

Lighting – Use LED strip lights or pendant lighting to set the right vibe. Or LED lights in the ceiling when you insulate and frame in the interior.

 

Things to Include in the Perfect She Shed

Cozy Furniture – A comfy couch or even a daybed for lounging.

Crafting Station –  A table with plenty of storage for sewing, painting, knitting or any other hobbies you enjoy.

Plants and Greenery – Great additions for calming, natural touches.

Bookshelves – A mini library for reading or writing any time of the year.

Tea or Coffee Corner – Create an area with your favourite teas and coffees.

Yoga or Meditation Space – Include mats and pillows for stretching and relaxation.

Decorative Touches – Soft rugs, wall art and curtains can turn your space into a serene oasis.
