My niece is doing exactly that. A free trailer frame but none of the other parts. It's painted and she's shopping for material to deck it.

I guess I'm the one that brought up shippng containers. The Wikipedia page says the floors are plywood and may be full of fumigation chemicals.

I'm actually more interested in geodesic domes. The prototypes I've made were curved strips of redwood benderboard, but now I'm working on tooling to make 1 1/4" pipe hexagons that bolt together. It should be really stout.
