Furnishing a container

[Matti_75]

It is possible to screw the studs downward into the floor and at the top where there is a square profile, which makes the screws never visible. When we insulate containers, we use 45x45 timber studs with 50mm foam insulation and 12mm plywood on the walls and ceiling. Containers with an openable side have a lower ceiling height because they are extra reinforced, but I don't know if you need to do that since yours will be stationary.

There are ready-made insulation kits available for 6, 8, 10 & 20-foot containers. I can check where I ordered from. It was NOT here: http://www.nordfarbo.se/system/visa.asp?FID=500&HID=459&HSID=6204&ActMenu=15970 because we didn't use wooden studs, but the concept is the same.

Sheet metal, insulation, wooden studs, plastic....... That insulation, which should have been mounted externally, will mold nicely....

Old thread to quote in, but I'm doing it anyway..

I completely understand your reasoning about condensation and moisture that can eventually lead to mold and rust.

But I've been wondering how the "professionally insulated" containers being sold manage to avoid these problems.
The ones that are insulated with 30mm foam and plywood on the inside?
Do they know something we don't?

I myself am working on preparing a small 10-foot container for secure storage of a log splitter, lawnmower, and various tools like a miter saw, etc.
I definitely want it condensation-free, and although heat isn't strictly necessary, I'm considering some insulation...

Before winter, I'll also have some trusses carry a sheet metal roof, which will extend a few meters to form a "carport" for the tractor...

Kind regards, Andreas

I'm currently working on a small 10-foot container, for secure storage of the wood splitter, lawnmower, and various tools like a chop/miter saw, etc.
Of course, I want it to be condensation-free and even though heating itself is not a necessity, I've been considering some insulation...

Before winter comes, some rafters will also support a metal roof, which will extend a few meters to form a "carport" for the tractor...

Please share some pictures of the final results . Considering a similar project. Regards...
