Design your own man cave

Designing your own man cave is an invitation to craft a personal sanctuary tailored to your tastes, interests, and aspirations. A shipping container man cave can be anything you want it to be for less, sometimes with no need for planning permission. We can install benches and bars, shelves and storage space for your hobby materials and supplies, windows and doors, giving you the flexibility to fully enjoy the space.

Efficient and functional features

Whatever your needs and desires are, we can adapt your space to include specific features. This can include comfortable benches and seating, robust shelving, ambient lighting, appropriate heating, essential ventilation, and modern electrics. Create zones for your equipment or hobby stations, and add extra doors or windows as desired.
