1. A corner support member for connecting together a first side wall of a storage container and an end wall of the storage container as part of a frame construction for the storage container, the corner support member comprising: a) a curved wall portion comprising: i) a length extending from an upper edge to an opposite lower edge, and a width extending from a first side edge to an opposite second side edge, the upper and lower edges meeting the first and second side edges, wherein the wall portion has a thickness extending from an inner wall surface to an outer wall surface,ii) wherein the wall portion further comprises an upper offset section extending from the upper edge to the first and second side edges, the upper offset section extending part way along the length of the wall portion to a center section, wherein the center section extends to both of the first and second side edges, but not to either of the upper and lower edges, and wherein the center section meets a lower offset section extending part way along the length of the wall portion to the lower edge and the first and second side edges,iii) wherein there is a first shelf between the upper offset portion and the center section and a second shelf between the lower offset portion and the center section;b) a first mounting hole adjacent to the upper and first side edges;c) a second mounting hole adjacent to the upper and second side edges;d) a third mounting hole adjacent to the lower and first side edges; ande) a fourth mounting hole adjacent to the lower and second side edges, andh) wherein the first and second shelves are planar and parallel to each other. 2. A corner support member that is connectable adjacent a first side edge to a side wall of a modular storage container and adjacent an opposite second side edge to an end wall of the modular storage container as part of a frame construction for the modular storage container, the corner support member comprising: a) a curved wall portion comprising an upper edge opposite a lower edge, the upper and lower edges meeting the first side edge spaced from the second side edge, the wall portion having a thickness extending from an inner wall surface to an outer wall surface;b) first mounting hole adjacent to the upper and first side edges;c) a second mounting hole adjacent to the upper and second side edges;d) a third mounting hole adjacent to the lower and first side edges; ande) a fourth mounting hole adjacent to the lower and second side edges. 3. The corner support member of claim 2 including a centered tab that is constructed and arranged to fit against an upper offset portion of a corresponding corner support member of a second storage container. 4. A corner support member that is connectable adjacent a first side edge to a side wall of a modular storage container and adjacent an opposite second side edge to an end wall of the modular storage container as part of a frame construction for the modular storage container: a) a curved wall portion comprising an upper edge opposite a lower edge, the upper and lower edges meeting the first side edge spaced from the second side edge, the wall portion having a thickness extending from an inner wall surface to an outer wall surface;b) a first raised boss surrounding a first mounting hole opposite a first recess into the thickness of the wall portion at one of the inner and outer surfaces, the first mounting hole being adjacent to the upper and first side edges;c) a second raised boss surrounding a second mounting hole opposite a second recess into the thickness of the wall portion at the one of the inner and outer surfaces having the first recess, the second mounting hole being adjacent to the upper and second side edges;d) a third raised boss surrounding a third mounting hole opposite a third recess into the thickness of the wall portion at the one of the inner and outer surfaces having the first recess, the third mounting hole being adjacent to the lower and first side edges; ande) a fourth raised boss surrounding a fourth mounting hole opposite a fourth recess into the thickness of the wall portion at the one of the inner and outer surfaces having the first recess, the fourth mounting hole being adjacent to the lower and second side edges. 5. The corner support member of claim 4 wherein the first, second, third, and fourth recesses extend into the thickness of the wall portion from the outer wall surface opposite the respective first, second, third and fourth bosses extending outwardly from the inner surface of the wall portion. 6. The corner support member of claim 5 wherein the first, second, third and fourth recesses are cylindrical and sized to receive the head of a fastener. 7. The corner support member of claim 4 wherein the first, second, third and fourth bosses are cylindrical. 8. The corner support member of claim 7 wherein the first, second, third and fourth bosses are constructed and arranged to fit within a corresponding wall end opening of a side wall or a end wall of a modular storage container. 9. The corner support member of claim 7 wherein the first, second, third and fourth recesses are sized to receive a head of a fastener. 10. The corner support member of claim 7 wherein the first, second, third and fourth bosses extend outwardly from the inner surface of the corner support. 11. A corner support member that is connectable adjacent a first side edge to a side wall of a modular storage container and adjacent an opposite second side edge to an end wall of the modular stogie container as part of a frame construction for the modular storage container, the corner support member comprising: a) a curved wall portion comprising an upper edge opposite a lower edge, the upper and lower edges meeting the first side edge spaced from the second side edge, the wall portion having a thickness extending from an inner wall surface to an outer wall surface;b) a first mounting hole adjacent to the upper and first side edges;c) a second mounting hole adjacent to the upper and second side edges;d) a third mounting hole adjacent to the lower and first side edges; ande) a fourth mounting hole adjacent to the lower and second side edges. 12. The corner support member of claim 2 wherein a raised boss surrounds at least one of the first, second, third and fourth mounting holes and comprises a boss end surface spaced inwardly from the inner wall surface. 13. The corner member of claim 1 wherein the wall portion is curved. 14. The corner member of claim 2 wherein the wall portion is curved. 15. The corner member of claim 7 wherein the wall portion is curved. 16. The corner member of claim 11 wherein the wall portion is curved.
