because the steel sweats it is a great idea to paint the inside with a anti condensation paint or use a closed cell spray foam insulation or you will definitely have a problem with condensation and the mold . hope this helps good luck !

What are your thoughts about the theory I mentioned in the above comment?

@@tinyadventuresonthemillerf564 `sorry it took so long to respond to your theory, the problem is that if there is any air space at all between the insulation and the steel there will be condensation at some point the weather will cause it to happen , i am building a 40 foot one trip high here in new England so i have done a lot of research. best wishes

@@jimyounger9490 Spray foam works but it's not the only solution. The problem, as you noted, is the air gap. That can be removed by using form-fitting foam panels, for example. Many companies manufacture those just for shipping containers. It's possible to fill the gap with fiberglass or rockwool batts, but that's trickier to get right.

Your daughter is amazing! She does more than my son..!

I LOVE your magnet and insulation idea. Planning on doing it to mine. That being said...have you had problems with condensation?

Ok a anti condensation paint. Trying to get all of these things before starting i already have the reflective that has the foam sandwich between the foil and its thick almost 1/2 in thickness so no air gap huh ok maybe glue it to the metal i guess. And add LP siding to the outside.

Not sure how you'd be able to tell but are you seeing any condensation issues at all with only the radiant barrier?

Great to see a dad working with his daughters on a project like this. But I would like to say the use of that material as insulation was a very poor choice. I did like how you secured the studs, however. That’s the first time I’ve seen someone use screws threw those pockets like that.

What kind of screws did you use to secure the wood to the metal containers? Thanks!

Yes, please answer. I am doing the same thing. Thank you.

how did the insulation hold up

how effective is that insulation near the equator?

If thats is the only insulation that being used I suggest not using anything at all.

Hello

Yeah your gonna have huge problems with condensation tho. Hope it don't rot your walls out

The theory is that condensation happens when one side of the metal is cold and the other is warm. By putting reflective insulation between the conditioned air of room inside the container and the metal, that shouldn't happen. When it is cold outside, the metal will be cold and the warmth of the inside won't reach it because it is reflected back in before it hits the metal. The same thing when it is hot outside. That heat is reflected out and the metal is allowed to stay hot all the way through. We also are making the baseboard removable so we can check the bottom edge for condensation if we suspect it. Will that theory hold true? Time will tell.

I am going to be at this stage of my container build soon. I've been trying to research this as much as I can. What I have found is that closed cell spray foam is the recommended meathod. But I am curious as to how this will work as it will probably be less expensive as the spray foam. Did you research the foam option?

@@hoopaholic134 Hi there. We researched it a little. From what I understand the closed cell foam is a great way to go. It is more expensive and takes up space but I've not heard of condensation issues with it. I don't expect condensation with this method either but time will tell. Roger Brul at tinyhousecontainer.com would be a great resource for you as well.
