The Product

Engineered to Outperform. Built to Last.

TeamBox is a pre-engineered modular dugout system built from 40-foot steel shipping containers. Every unit is fabricated under factory-controlled conditions in Warren, Michigan and delivered ready for installation.

The Foundation

Why a Shipping Container?

A 40-foot shipping container is engineered to be stacked, transported across oceans, and withstand extreme weather and loading conditions. That structural integrity is built into every TeamBox before the fabrication process even begins.

We start with a steel shell that is already proven to handle far more punishment than a dugout will ever see. From there, we customize and finish it into a purpose-built athletic facility with weather-rated exterior paint, composite bench seating, rubber flooring, and welded mesh safety systems.

The result: a facility asset with a 25+ year lifespan that costs significantly less than traditional construction and installs in hours, not weeks.

Specifications

Built for the Real World

Every TeamBox is built with materials selected for long-term outdoor durability in Michigan conditions.

Engineered Steel Structure

40-foot shipping container foundation rated for Michigan snow loads, wind exposure, and freeze-thaw cycles.

Weather-Rated Exterior Paint

Professional-grade paint system designed specifically for long-term outdoor exposure. Not a powder coat. Real exterior paint built for this climate.

Composite Bench Seating

Durable composite materials that won't rot, splinter, or deteriorate like traditional wood bench seating.

Durable Rubber Flooring

High-traffic rubber flooring designed for cleated shoes, heavy use, and easy maintenance.

Welded Mesh Safety Systems

Integrated safety features with clean sightlines, protecting players and spectators without obstructing the view.

ADA-Conscious Layout

Designed with accessibility in mind. We work with each district to meet their specific local code requirements.

Sustainability

Built from Repurposed Steel. Built to Last.

Every TeamBox starts with a 40-foot steel shipping container that has already completed its original service life. By repurposing this existing steel structure rather than fabricating from raw materials, TeamBox reduces embodied carbon and keeps thousands of pounds of steel out of the waste stream.

For districts pursuing green building goals, TeamBox can contribute to LEED credit eligibility in the Materials and Resources category, including recycled content, construction waste reduction, and building life-cycle impact reduction.

Sustainable facilities infrastructure that also saves your district money. That's the kind of decision that's easy to defend to a school board.

LEED Credit Eligibility

Recycled Content (MR Credit)

Repurposed shipping container qualifies as post-consumer recycled steel, contributing toward the 10-20% recycled content threshold.

Construction Waste Reduction (MR Credit)

Factory fabrication means near-zero on-site construction waste. The product arrives finished, not built on-site.

Life-Cycle Impact Reduction (MR Credit)

Reusing existing steel structures reduces embodied carbon compared to new construction from virgin materials.

Sourcing of Raw Materials (MR Credit)

Repurposed container shell counts toward the leadership extraction practices threshold.
