Just be sure to have sump pumps and pour concrete outside all the containers. Ask a building engineer to look at your plans.

They build wooden ba$#%&!@*ts in Indiana, so why wouldn’t steel be strong enough, it’s all about how you control the water!!

Preventing them from floating up is not a big worry. There are many ways to anchor them. I live in FL and I’ve been thinking of ways to use them here. In many places the water table is just too high for burying them. One is to use cables and anchors, then build a berm up around three sides.
It would be full of water in texas now
better dig the hole a fair amount deeper.
better off using concrete and a welded steel frame
Wow
waste of time digging his own coffin
