Cooler Construction Options – Walls and Panels

There are many options when it comes to constructing a walk-in cooler, cold room, or warm room for on-farm storage.
 
 The main goals for construction of any temperature and humidity controlled space are:
 
 Insulate the walls to provide for efficiency temperature control against a different outside temperature (which may be an warmer inside space)
 Seal corners and seams to prevent air and rodent infiltration
 Protect framing and insulation with smooth, cleanable materials and vapor barrier to prevent moisture and condensation inside the walls.
