[QUOTE="Buzzgun, post: 2517201, member: 4715"] I did extensive welding on the one I modified and, even though it is relatively thin material, it can be done. The boxes are made with "Cor-Ten" steel and are more resistant to atmospheric corrosion, but I'm not sure how long they would last if buried? And, as I stated earlier, every shipping container I have ever seen had a floor made of wood, while it works well for it's intended purpose, I doubt it would be waterproof or last long if buried. You are correct, even though it is possible to brace and strengthen a container to the point that it could withstand being buried, it is not cost effective. A tank, designed to be buried, would be a much better solution. [/QUOTE]
