Cladding a container

[Haironyourchest]

I have a couple containers, very bad condensation problems! What about insulation the inside, tarring the roof for longevity, and painting the outside to look like a shed, with painted windows and everything. A friend did this, and it actually looks lovely.

Insulation and vapour barrier should be the way to go to stop condensation.

One other way to stop condensation.  Firstly make sure there is good ventilation all round and top and bottom.  Secondly spray paint the inside with Grafotherm (http://www.grafoproducts.co.uk/).  This is a British made very heavily textured paint that stops any slight condensation from dripping.  If you don't really need insulation this is a much cheaper and quicker option.

My new shed, it came from a business that closed it's depot - I'd assumed the box was empty (it was pushed hard up against a fence in the yard). Hiab driver said it felt awfully heavy for it's size?

 

The contents is probably worth as much as what I paid for it!!!

It's full of cages, cabinets, racks, storage boxes, office equipment etc

 

And still has the reefer unit with a little perkins engine

I have just bought four forty footers to poke in the corner of the yard, they seem to have a a coating on the inside which stops condensation, maybe all the newer containers are already done . I bought some granules that you mix in the paint that supposedly stops condensation, going to try it on my other containers and will report back.

 

 

 

 

 

Forming a u shape with these so the two back ones are put down door to doors and the only way in is through roller shutter cut into the sides courtesy of Mick Dundee.
