20 ft Shipping Container
#14
well stillhope wish i had taken a pic. they were simple... a full sheet of plywood almost makes it sideways. you just have to trim off the end a bit. the outside of the container is 8x8x20 but the inside if i remember is something like 7'6'. first we did basically a table on the back, taking up the first 4 feet (width of sheet of plywood) with 4 legs about 4 feet high coming down. we totally packed this top shelf and used ropes to tie it in tight.(the container is full of tie on. then we drove in the totally packed car)except the drivers seat. the hood of the car goes in under the table. it was the hard part and scarey, i was driving, my husband was directing i got within 4 inches. we put cardboard and styrofoam along the side. then we took pieces of 2x4 and screwed them to the wood floor behind the tires so the car couldnt move. then we totally packed the drivers seat, and under the car for long stuff, fishing poles, mops, shovels, rakes, anything long and not too wide.between the hood of the car and bottom of shelve we packed blankets, clothes stuff that would scratch the car., we built another table over the car, oops forgot you need to put those legs in before the car, anyway you just keep going like that. we even brought a huge tv antennai hung up with ropes over the car (we dont have cable) you would be amazed how much will fit if you are careful. another hint is to get as many boxes of the same size as possible so they stack tight with no lost space... good luck
