Shipping Container Bar on Pine St.
Donation protected
My name is Peter Katz.
I'm in the process of building my first mobile bar built out of a used 20' shipping container. I'm about 1/2 way through the build and have gotten to a point where I really could use some help with funds towards completing and implementing the design.
The bar will be used at festivals, corporate events, weddings and any other party where an outside the box train of design thought is sought. The bar is designed to slide out halfway onto the folded down door which will have a deck fixed to it. The facade of this initial bar will be wrapped in rustic grey wood fencing and the bar top will be wood wrapped in brushed aluminum with a beautiful rustic patina. I have beautifully framed mirrors picked out for the inside walls and antique fire extinguishers to be placed on the exterior from sides to be used as sconces.
I've received initial support from a couple of investors who have lined up the Container Bar for use at 13 festivals next summer. I have a design set with materials and functionality that will blow people's minds but under estimated the total costs involved thus I am now asking for help to raise the additional funds required to complete and implement the design.
I have cut out the side of the container thus far and built the frame for the bar. I have all the steel on site required to finsh the project and I have a talented metal worker placing the hinges and welding the flange and door frame so that it will serve as a proper rigid deck.
I have the materials to be used as the siding on the bar but still need to identify and purchase the material for the bar top. The flooring also still needs to be purchased and installed. For flooring I'm thinking hard wood as the bar will be on casters so that it will roll out onto the deck for outside beverage enjoyment.
In addition to the remaining items needed to complete the interior of the bar I am also designing a system for transporting a 20' shipping container without having to hire a trucking company or use a big heavy trailer. This is probably the most expensive portion of the build but also probably the most crucial to get correct.
I will be able to utilize the transportation system on other containers slated to be turned into mobile bars as well as tiny, affordable homes and cabins.
Containers are a trully amazing resource waiting to be tapped and with your help in financing this initial bar and transportation system I will be able to move forward effectively in implementing future designs and builds.
It's my dream to wow people with my designs and builds, please help me to realize this dream so that my children might see that it's possible to be succesful doing something that you love in life.
