Container ventilation.

[cordwood]

I know from previous post's on here that a lot of us use shipping container's for secure kit storage, what is the best way to ventilate one without compromising its security. I presume cut a couple of holes either end and weld a "shroud" over the top to keep the rain out ? Cheer's.

Would it not be possible to mount a couple of those rotating vents that are seen on vans?

Cutting holes in it doesn't move enough air around.

 

I put the tractor in one when I go home and because of the warm tractor and cold air in winter the inside really does get wet.

 

I have a second hand solar powered fan which goes in a caravan ceiling, I was thinking of putting that in the roof and seeing how it does.

 

It's only 6" dia and runs all the time there is day light. Would imagine it would be spot on for shifting out warm air from the top of the container

I fitted a fletnor to the roof of my landy you could het a few of these, or I think you can get something similar for chimneys which wont draw properly. try your local sweep he might know what they're called!

Thank's for the suggestion's, did think that a few more of you learned people would of had suggestion's though!!

we could find you a 12v fan and put that in the side run it off a battery or solar panel?

This is what I was on about
