I belive the name “seacan” come from them being the “can” you pack things into to preserve them to ship overseas, much like the tin can you preserve fruit and vegs in.

Hi all, FYI the containers come in either all metal or aluminum with steel galvanized corners . I bought a 40 ftr aluminum several years ago & is now my workshop. However the roof does not handle snow load well. Anything over 8 in snow I shovel it off. The roof really starts to sag. Also it sweats on the inside quite a bit from the ceiling. One more thing, the ants have gotten into the wood filler in the doors. Can't seem to get rid of them. Other than that it seems to draw less attention than a box trailer from the town.
Also set it a few inches above the ground for air circulation. My 2 cents worth. Vern

The one my brother got is very strong. No problem walking around on the roof to sweep leaves off it. Solid steel. Only weak spots I see are some places along the lower sections of the wall
are showing a little rust. From road salt no doubt. Here they are known as "Seacans" and I don't know how the name originated.
