but they must let in the water may have to block the holes ,or may be cause they go buy sea must be water proof

I cant say I have ever been inside one,.. but are they not sealed, we often hear of containers being lost off ship and floating hundreds of miles..... and its not just deserts and places with little rain that seem to be making use of them,..... has anyone been inside one,... would they need sealing somehow?

some impressive looking container builds in that link

mind you the type of things most of us in the UK would like to do is get a place out of the way and basically hide or bury one for storage or a BOL so most of those build would fit our needs.

Some are completely sealed to prevent bugs and fungi and other pests sneaking aboard to infest foreign shores, I guess good maintenance and weather proofing is the key.

That certainly some good ways of using those containers
They look quite stylish( not that I know what style is, so the wife says)

They can get pretty cold, due to metal conducting heat very well
