The Harley Davidson Garage

Apr. 13 2010

Because this is the first post*, it makes sense to provide a little overview of what you can expect from the BigSteelBlog.

At BigSteelBox, we rent, sell and modify steel shipping containers, but the focus of our business is to make our customer’s lives easier.

Whether you’re looking for a better way to move or store your belongings, secure storage on the job site or an innovative housing solution, we want BigSteelBox to be the simplest solution to your needs.

So, the BigSteelBlog is all about ways to use a BigSteelBox to make our lives easier. While there is a great deal of good information on our website, the role of the Blog will be to showcase innovative modifications, provide tips and share 3rd party information on moving, storage and containerized housing.

For example, check out the cool BigSteelBox that we turned into a Harley garage. This custom modification features a checker plate floor and ramp, space for a tool box, a fridge, beer keg and TV. It’s not only a secure place to park a Harley Davidson (or other prized possession), it’s also a simple way to get a little guy time.

*Not only is this the first post, it’s my first blog, so I went to Dummies.com to get some ideas. I read that you should ask for comments, so please let me know what you think.

Wow, looks great guys! I am impressed. I originally came to the web site looking to rent a container for the duration of some renovations and building a garage, but now I have to consider some other uses for a container!

As for the one showing in the picture, I am curious to know if it's outside and/or will be used during the winter. If so, how is this thing for space-heating and heat retention?

Anyway, great idea for a blog, and awesome mod.

Hey Mike thanks for the nice comments. We had a lot of fun building this. It was a huge hit a the motorcycle show in Abbotsford this year. This one does have spray foam insulation on the ceiling and around the side door. We also powered it with 220 and had forced heat as well. Not only a cool place to hang out with the plasma TV and bar but will be nice and warm through the winter. We really wanted to make sure it was secure as well so we added extra lock boxes as well. The container will be on display at Trev Deeley's the last week of May. I welcome you to stop by and if you have any questions on Modifications I will be pleased to help.
