    Episode 3 - BoxGolf: The Future of Driving Ranges

    Golf is getting a modular makeover. PGA pro Jon Wells reveals how BoxGolf turns a shipping container into a secure, weatherproof driving range or coaching studio that fits where traditional construction simply cannot. Built from the ground up after years of testing, BoxGolf's 10, 20, and 40-foot units are designed to drop into the footprint of a tennis court, avoid major planning headaches, and deliver a fully enclosed practice space with ball-tracking tech, hidden hardware, and a raised canopy built for real swing space. If you've ever wondered how to create premium golf practice without pouring concrete or building a permanent range, this conversation shows what's possible. We cover: Why John started with a 10-foot prototype and scaled up to 20-foot and 40-foot "whopper" unitsHow ball tracking works with camera-based and radar-based systems like Foresight and TrackmanWhy three meters of canopy height is the sweet spot for swing space and transportHow BoxGolf solves the security problem for expensive tech left outdoors overnightWhy golf clubs, hotels, leisure venues, sports clubs, and landowners are showing interest Jon also breaks down the real-world logistics most people miss, from cranes and flatbeds to tree-lined golf clubs, grass surfaces, and bridge-height restrictions. He explains why container builds can be faster, more flexible, and better value than permanent driving ranges, especially for venues that want to monetize underused space without losing the option to move later. This is essential listening if you work in golf, sports facilities, leisure development, or container conversions and want to understand where the next wave of modular venue design is heading. It is also a great episode if you want a behind-the-scenes look at how one golf pro turned a coaching problem into a scalable business with serious commercial upside.

    Episode 0 - The Start

    In this first episode, Lars introduces himself and the podcast — why a container builder from Berlin decided to start a show, and what Boxed & More is really about. Not just the finished builds and pretty pictures, but the real stories behind them: the architecture, the engineering, the entrepreneurship, and the hard-won lessons along the way. Lars shares how his work at a container conversion workshop opened his eyes to just how much incredible stuff is happening in this space — and why he couldn't stop wanting to bring those conversations to a wider audience. The show will feature a lineup of guests from across the industry — leading architects, entrepreneurs, engineers, and real clients with fascinating builds — as well as some of the biggest names in the container and modular world. Whether you've been building with containers for years or you just spotted a cool container coffee shop and want to know more, this is your invitation in.
