The problem when you cut the whole wall out is the roof then sags. The wall is part of the structure.

A better idea is to take those same two sea cans, space them apart, and run suitable roof trusses. It will keep the cans dry, and give you a storage space in the middle. That said, putting a roof on will be expensive and time consuming, which kind of defeats the reason for using sea cans in the first place.

We used lots of sea cans for projects in Bosnia and in Afghanistan. We had them in 2 story and 3 story configurations, with various cut-outs and conjoining methods. Sometimes they would get secondary roofs, other-times they wouldn't.

When Canada left KAF, there were actually hundreds of condemned cans in various states that we could not bring back. No idea what happened to them, but our sea can manager did get some sly offers for some of them from other contractors (offers which were not accepted of course).
