Hey /diy/,
I want to frame a shipping container, not to live it but just turn it into a bar
I want to frame it, then put some cheap board up and put reclaimed wood I have layjng arou d as a feature wall/s
Ita not going to be air-tight after I cut the windows in but I have hears that condensation from the cold steel and air-cavity between the feamjng can lead to rot
With all the effot I am putting in Id hate to have to pull it all apart in a few years
What should I do? Is it a problem if I am not living in it but just occasionally use it a few times a year?

what climate?

I'd just spray the framing with some non-toxic lite duty anti-mold/fungus, and install flow-through vents to outside and make sure everything can breath. Put "decorative" little vents, 1" holes, top and bottom of each bay.

Use top holes for hanging S-hooks, for hanging coats and Christmas light strings.

Don't place box so downhill is water tight.

Use metal studs. It will be loud as fuck in there, but its your best total option. Imo. The other option I can think of off the top of my head is attach a vapor underlayment to the studs facing the casing. You would have to assemble the wall on the ground and move it into its place. But that's not hard. You don't need to necessarily attach the interior walls to the exterior, prevent holes that need proper patching, if you attach the top and bottom plate to box. That way you can put shitty caulk and tape above and below but not on the sides and everyone will see how awesome your tin can is
