CouesPursuit Report post Posted January 3, 2020 Anyone have an outdoor shed with AC in the valley that could offer any advice on the building or purchasing of one? Not looking for daily living comfort, but would like to keep the items stored in it in decent shape, perhaps with a window unit? Thanks in advance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He had someone spray the foam in from a 50 gallon drum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azbirdhunter88 Report post Posted January 3, 2020 I have a couple garage/sheds built and have a/c on them. Mitsubishi is who makes the unit. Super cold and very reasonably priced. I’ll look into it more and give you all the info of who put mine in and how much it was cause I don’t remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesPursuit Report post Posted February 5, 2020 When applicable, I always like to try and come back to supply an update after starting a thread so here it is. Factoring in security and return on investment, the container won hands down. Thanks, Lance and Vowell. I went with an insulated 20' container with OSB radiant barrier walls/ceiling (aluminum-sided sheets facing out) and a Portable AC (Over-sized/14,000 BTU) with 6" exhaust/vent. I'm certainly not a carpenter and was not seeking perfection, but would be happy to share any other information upon request. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After shopping options, I felt like I got a good deal for refurbished and insulated 20' @ $3000. Another $500 for wood, chalk, paint, etc. and a smoking OfferUp deal for a new LG portable AC @ $200. Electrical is next. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More like a need for a cool place to reload and find peace with a growing family! Expensive stuff is staying in the house. Thanks. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
