Canadian-Made Shipping Container Style Sheds and Studios
For those looking for a modern industrial look you can’t go wrong with one of our shipping container sheds. For years now we’ve been approached by customers who went through the process of trying to plan out a studio or shed built out of an old sea can for their backyard only to be met with a number of difficult challenges.
Our ability to pair traditional wood framing with premium Canadian steel allows us to create a structure that better meets the needs of our customers while maintaining that industrial look that so many people love. And best of all it ends up being more affordable, more environmentally friendly, and much more customizable.
The Benefits of Backyard Escape Studios Shed
When you lay out the advantages it becomes clear why a Backyard Escape Studios build is a much better choice that getting a recycled shipping container.
You get a painless one day install with no need to rent a crane or have your lawn torn up by heavy equipment delivering the unit.
You get a structure that’s designed to be a structure. Vapor barriers, adequate structural framing, optional insulation, and proper roofing materials set our units apart from what is essentially a big steel box that's designed to carry goods, not be a welcoming space.
Custom colours! Our steel comes in over 35 different colours and we can also pair it with pine or cedar for those that love the contrast of the natural wood and the bold steel finish.
If you’d like to add insulation, windows, or doors to a standard shipping container you’ll find yourself having to add in a wood frame and cut out large sections of steel. Building from scratch means no wasted time and materials adapting an existing product to your needs.
Much more green! While “upcycling” an old shipping container may seem green, the truth is these units are highly recyclable already. A standard 20’ shipping container weighs almost 5000lbs. And for good reason, they’re expertly designed to carry massive tonnage and stay sturdy for decades. A similarly sized studio from us uses less than 10% of that weight in steel for cladding.
