Installing a wood window buck into a Shipping Container.
In this video we will show different methods for cutting through a container.
An angle grinder works well for starting your cuts.
A Jigsaw or Saber saw works well. Use with a metal cutting blade.
After the layout is determined.
Pre-drill holes for attachment of the wood buck.
Reciprocating Saw or Sawzall with a "Edge" blade worked very well.
The metal gauges in a container varies so we recommended different blades for thinner the metal sidewalls with 20-24 teeth per inch, or try a medium thickness blade for between 10-18 teeth per inch, and for very thick metal, like the square tube or flooring beams a blade with around 8 teeth per inch will work better.
Use an angle grinder to smooth out the sharp cut edges.
Use a 2x4 to straighten the corrugations for the template.
Mark the 2x4 at 2", centering the 2x6 wood buck over the corrugation.
Mark the 2x6 for the corrugation pattern.
The Loctite PL Premium will provide a tight air seal and bond.
Attach the exterior 1/2 of the wood buck through the predrilled holes in the container wall.
The interior 1/2 of the wood buck's 2x4s holes were countersunk.
The window bucks are complete.
Next step is to insulate the interior walls with the CX44 panels
How do you install a window in a shipping container?
We do not recommend in-experienced DIYers to weld windows. Health hazards from welding, cutting, and brazing operations include exposures to metal fumes and to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Safety hazards from these operations include burns, eye damage, electrical shock, cuts, and crushed toes and fingers. If you are going to weld in metal frames in for windows seek out a professional welder or container modification contractor.
