Check the condition of the container roofs, I've seen them rust out

Indeed. When I finally get my 24' seatrain home in a week or so..Im
going to have to retar` or coat or so something with the roof. The
majority of it is aluminum..but the roof is steel and has rusted in
places and it did leak last winter.

My intent was to take the sun load off the top of the containers. *There

I was wondering if I put a recirculating water pump to flow water over the

much. *I'm probably going to have to just try it. *I get ag water, so
there's no problem about added cost.

Anyone ever done this?

You guys might take a look at the spray-on bedliner stuff for a tough
weatherproof sealer.

Its a very good idea. However..the sun here in the desert is rather
strong during the summer months and putting a layer of "black" along the
entire horizontal cover does seem a bit counter intuitive. Perhaps some
of that white roofing foam?
