Years ago a neighbor bought a couple or maybe just one wood shpping crate. It was around 10sq. Wonder what theyed be worth today. Should be cheaper than metal, if they still use them

we almost decided to build a house using them. We found a local supplier in Memphis, no where near an ocean. The 40 ft ones are 2500-2800 delivered. From my dealer, if you buy 4 he gives you a 1K discount. But the deliverer doesn't stack them, just unloads them. If you want them placed exactly you have to do that. There are other examples of barns built like this on the Kabota tractor site. Lots of great things you can do with them. Welding would definately be a skill to know when building with these.

It is a great concept. And you are technically recycling since they are too expensive to ship back to China empty.....

The cost of wood to build that is $$2500.00
Who ever did this needs a cookie thay did good.
