What containers are the best to make a secret bunker?
Or are all the same?

>What containers are the best to make a secret bunker?
Shipping. Bury them as deep as you can. I recommend filling the top off with concrete.
>Are they all the same
No. Package containers and paper message containers are not suitable.

It needs to be that kind made from galvanized steel or else it will rust down and crumble.

Shipping containers are not meant to be buried. They don't hold well to lateral pressure. They're meant to be stacked one on top of each other.

you are right, but I suggest anyone that doesn't know that be left to the whims of natural selection. evolution is an on going dynamic process.

OP here. Thanks that's useful.

>> No.1393571

make sure to enforce the container before you put soil on it.
otherwise it will start to change the shape and might eventually crack / leak

This guy is an idiot. Shipping containers have taken and survived multiple direct hits from the A10 warthog. Dirt is nothing.

Anyone who has ever unloaded a tractor trailer can tell you how cheap the things are made. Not something I would ever consider survivable under a load.

I hope you like slowly suffocating to death and having the walls of the container slowly cave in, stopping any chances of you getting out alive.

Buy steel and build your own container, the shipping ones will kill you.

What about building an arched structure over your container?

They're super strong. We just have old boomer Doomsday® salesmen here spreading disinformation.

In my neighborhood, there are no less than 10 people that have epic container bunkers, but you'd never know because you can't see them.

Even if it doesn’t collapse, what are you going to be doing in it? The real danger here is the potential of a fire, even a minor one, in an confined space with restricted access.

Make sure there’s two exits, and one of them shouldn’t require a ladder.

Ironically, that's not even a shipping container in the op's pic, and it's reinforced on the roof (no clue about the sides, desu)

Dome structures that are above the water table will work fine in a bunker, OP, but don't use a container. You'll fail, it'll fail, and you've disappointed everyone here by mentioning it.

Also stop memeing and stay in school, kiddo.

how long till it rusts through?
