To create a storage container garage it is necessary that you have 2 shipping container garages and in case you have one, you can use any kind of support with the same height and length of the container to connect it.

How to attach a roof to a shipping container
There are two main ways to anchor conex boxes with fabric covers, one is to screw them and the other is to weld them.
In the case that you want something temporary, it is best to bolt them down but if you want something more fixed, it is best to weld them down.
Welding will also help to give them more stability and this will make sure that when it snows or storms come, your garage container will remain intact.
Should I anchor the container to the ground?
This part is very important to pay attention to. In states where the wind is strong, it is necessary to anchor the containers.
It happens that if there is a storm the wind can move some inches the containers and this makes that the anchors can bend and get damaged.
When the container is anchored and there is a very strong storm (+60mph), the only thing necessary is to remove the cover and the structure will remain intact.
Do I need some permission?
Varies depending on the state, as there are states that have a loophole because these types of structures are considered temporary structures, so in most states, a permit is not required.
Check with your local planning and in case your county requires a document, you should talk to your supplier for a certificate.
How do shipping containers roofs drain?
Installing them normally generates good waterproofing, some drops may enter depending on the wind of the rain. But there are scenarios where 100% waterproofing is needed.
As a solution to the question “how do you keep moisture out of a shipping container?”, you can make the container gain two feet of height on the inner side so that the entire length of the container will drain out and the drainage will be perfect.
Internal vs. external anchoring?
External anchoring is used to have a much higher impermeability by sacrificing space. Depending on the case you must separate the containers further from each other.
The external anchorage is recommended for prefabricated tents over 33 feet wide.
