At Container Modification World, we’ve helped thousands of people bring their shipping container projects to life. But before the first cut is made or bracket installed, every great build starts with one thing: a clear, realistic plan.
That’s why we created Plan My Can, a simple, visual tool to help you design your container layout, test ideas, and start your project with confidence.
What Is Plan My Can?
Plan My Can is our free online planning tool that lets you lay out your modified shipping container digitally before you ever touch a grinder or buy your first bracket.
It’s perfect for:
- Visualizing where doors, windows, and vents will go
- Testing out different layouts and product combinations
- Communicating your vision to your builder or engineer
- Making sure everything fits before committing to a purchase
What Can You Do with Plan My Can?
- Choose Your Container Size
- Select 10’, 20’, or 40’ containers (including high cubes). - Drag and Drop Real Products
- Man doors
- Windows (sidewall, kiosk)
- Roll-up doors
- Ventilation kits
All components are actual CMW products, so your plan isn’t just visual, it’s shoppable.
- Generate a Product List
Once your layout is complete, Plan My Can automatically generates a product list, allowing you to order everything you need directly from our site, with confidence.
Why It Matters
- Avoid Mistakes
- Don’t end up with a door you can’t open or a vent that clashes with your studs. - Save Money
- Plan it right, and you won’t have to redo anything or overbuy parts. - Work Smarter with Your Contractor
- Use your layout to speak the same language with your installer, engineer, or permitting office. - Build It Yourself
- If you’re a DIYer, Plan My Can + our no-weld kits = total control over your build.
