Have a large rug on top of wood flooring, almost the size of the whole floor and it’s been great. Nice and warm and acts like sound proofing. My only complaint about the whole thing is once you’re inside, zero cellular signal reception and raidos don’t work either. Ive looked at the devices...

Day of pickup It never fails, when your not looking for something, great deals fall into your lap. Now that I want another S-280(s), their scarce and very expensive when they do pop up. Figures.........

True Containers, while pricey, are easy to find. S-280’s are not and when you do their expensive. I lucked out on mine with GSA. Good price. 30 minute drive to get it Sold the contents (weather balloons) that came with it and it paid for shelter and then some. Win-Win Yea If I could...

The container blocks the North wind in the winter and shade trees keep direct sun off it during summer. It’s very quiet and peaceful where it’s located. I wish I had about 10 more of them. Both the Containers and S-280

A few forklift wounds were there. Both sides. Took over a week just to dry it out. No water damage, just insulation soaked. Once dry, fixed holes with structural adhesive. Been nice and dry inside ever since. I do not have it attached to shipping container. It’s attached to the railroad...

Pics were taken right after final placement last year. Deck was added and electrical hooked up after these pics.

I also did the drilling of very small holes in the pin. About the size of the spray tube on a can of WD-40. I used ACF50 on the hinges and door handle. Door handle was easy to free up and get going again. Most Hinges were easy also. Bottom hinge was the problem child It took at least a...

Yes it is! Working great!

Mine originally had two boxes mounted on it. They were only for venting. Original A/C unit had already been removed. The small A/C will work fine since the shelter will be in the shade most of the time.

Final preparations underway. Gets placed in final spot Sunday. Finished up some painting today Its finally painted. Took 1 1/2 gallons using a electric hand sprayer. Powercord is for temp power (lights & fan). Always have a light. Wasn't going to paint until move finished, but I...

Local GSA auction Been looking for one for two years and found it 30 miles away. Best thing it was filled with stuff including 2000 weather balloons. Sold all the balloons and it more than paid for the shelter.

What I mean is it will not move again. Once its down on the concrete pad, it will be tied down with cables (after paint) and never move. It will serve as a mini cabin in a remote part of the ranch. Has a small frig, gun safe, small desk, military all steel bunk bed and other goodies. No tv...

Ah Yes Already done

Quarter Round??

3/4 plywood topped with oak tongue and groove. It was a easy install and the warm feeling that it gives it inside is amazing. It is well worth the cost of losing a little headroom. Im just under 6' and have no head banging issues. The overhead lighting layout is more to the sides than the...

Wood over metal. Makes a huge difference in how it feels inside.

Loaded S-280 shelter up on my M989A1 for it's final ride to its permanent location. There the electrical will be hooked up and it will be painted OD. Wanted to wait for the paint until placement was complete. I did paint the roof before it left the shop. It really needs the new paint as you...
