To end up on lot in San Juanico......best to buy in Baja or US?
Like a 40 footer.....but how would one get that big sucker off the truck w/out a big forklif?

roll off. just make sure that's where you REALLY want it. the driver can position it fairly well.

easy....

By roll off.....you mean a truck with a tilt bed like when dropping off a dumpster or? Will work with a 40 foot container?
Thanks,
Rogelio

yes. when we order containers on our job sites the truck shows up with the container/dumpster on the flatbed, the bed raises and...... VIOLA!!!

Ahh insulate it and put a Palapa on top of it, cut a few windows. Buy 2 and have a 2 bedroom!:biggrin:

I've heard you can get them in La Paz, I din't know where.

Perfect storage container

Just an option to your container wants:

Years ago, I had a stationary container that was soon to become a nuisance to our expansion.

I got rid of it and bought this instead. A 28 foot car/cargo hauler with a ramp and walk-in door. Use it for an extra garage or storage, plus have the mobility to move it anywhere. I hauled this one from North Dakota to Baja, but you can buy nationwide at a reasonable price. It would be a great resale in Baja. Over 1700 cubic feet of storage.

A thought.

or just google "shipping container sale". There are lots of companies selling them some advertise their prices on the web too. $2000 for a 40ft $1700 for a 20 ft.

I looked on the internet for quite a while, a year or so ago, and never found anything about containers in Baja. Tell us all if you find something in La paz, or anywhere else.

I found this online. I'd think that a palapa roof with nice, big overhangs and a front porch would be the ticket.

They have the same type of thing as above at Mammoth Bar OHV park, but they covered it with an RV canopy. I should have taken a picture of it. I walked into it on a hot day in summer, and it was perfectly cool inside.

I have heard they are very inexpensive in Oakland, CA where there is a yard full of thousands of them. Delivery is another issue but I have seen full size rigs delivering to San Juanico.

20ft $125
