That's cheating......

Making a boat hull watertight is not cheating, its quite sensible.

Is there enough in the end panel with no doors, to cut out and repair /reweld in the two side holes, then you could get two more end doors and put them in the cutout end, I know some one that did that with a30fter and had it put along side of the house to make a shed /garage but could them go through into the back garden by opening up the two ends and going straight through

Different flute on the ends and roof. Best way is just 2mm sheet welded flute to flute

Thanks for all your replies.
I think I will try to make a door and frame from box section and 2mm sheet and put it in the far end and just use some 2mm sheet for the other hole.
I was also thinking of how to make it look a bit nicer and the idea of battening it and cladding it with feather edge boards or green or brown box profile sheeting ( which I have been told you can buy seconds of quite a bit cheaper) sounds good, any thoughts ?

After that the rear doors are going to need some attention , they lock ok with the padlock box that's been welded on , but the 4 bars that you twist to shut it properly are a nightmare to turn

Had problems with the locking bars on an outside container at work, found a good dousing in oil worked wonders.

How much water does a container contain?listening to some of the suggestions I would be inclined to cut the roof off and use the metal to make good all the holes then paint the inside blue. Dig a hole next to it,shove it in ,fill it with water,when it freezes charge people for skating and then for swimming in summer . Just an idea
