[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 3601791, member: 14646"] I like the shipping containers but if you are looking for something somewhat nice you can use as a reloading room and maybe even a Mancave type of thing then i would look at a wood Shed/Building. At my wife's cousin's ranch we all stay in three 10x20 separate gable style sheds during hunting season. They have a small porch with three windowns and some extra costs when into fully insulating the units and each has a wood stove with Mini Split A/C units. I'll see if i have any pics of them. While they are large they can be moved just about as easily as a 40' container. The ones we stay in are on skids that are sitting on a bed of 1" minus gravel/rock. Keeps them high and dry. If they had bathrooms they would make great studion apartments. The hunting lease my FIL had for 40 years the very wealthy owner of the land had two 40' containers placed on a concrete slab about 20' apart. Then had a 16-20 wood trusses made to span about 40' from outside to outside of each container. He then fully enclosed the containers with siding and the whole thing looked just like a really nice huge barn with two big doors on each end and big barn doors in the middle where he had 6-8 picknik tables for sitting and enough space to put in table for a buffet or other needs. It was a great setup. [/QUOTE]
