I want it on the outside of the container doors .so I can enter into a small room before I go in the container. I realize this could be difficult with swinging doors that open to the outside but if I build it big enough it should be fine...I really just need some input on the best way to seal it to the container

Ok i gotcha....can u wrap the end of the container in 2x4 so, one on top and one on each side and attach it with self tapling screws?

yes I think that's possible..sorry I don't have a pic at the moment but I will take one today soon. the container sits parallel to the side of my house with a foot between them. doors flush to the back side of the house

Are you looking to keep the doors for security? I have seen some where people will open them to a 90 (framing that in for two of the walls) and installing a slider.

Some people actually construct things and some are just glorified interior decorators,lol.

Grease you would be much better off constructing your foyer(lol)inside the container than out for alot of reasons.Its weather tight,if you need to move the container its easy,shut the doors and good to go,Connecting wood to metal container and getting it weather tight is more work etcetc.Google container homes for some good ideas and possible ideas.
