Thanks... Yes it would be possible. Why do you want it? The product that you put in will govern what type of system you can install. Don't think you can just strip a fridge down and use that because it will not have the duty to refrigerate the shed. Give me some details of size's and what you want it for and I'll let you know more. taz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac tire Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 something big enough to hold around 8 red deer hinds....that will be a good enough size... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taz24 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 something big enough to hold around 8 red deer hinds....that will be a good enough size... 6ft x 4ft or 8ft x 5ft Somthing along those lines. You are talking about the the size of a small butchers fridge. The panels can be bought but they are not cheap. You may come across a second hand one on ebay but somthing that size new and running would set you back about a grand. You can get second hand fridge systems and build it all your self but it would need conecting up and charging with refrigerant by a fridge engineer, again not a cheap option. You have a few options. 1 Buy the parts yourself and build it with the assistance of a fridge man cost of parts £100 or so to about £500 engineer will charge owt from £50 to £300 depending what he has to do. 2 Buy a second hand made up cold store for about £500 to £1000. 3 Buy a new cold store for about £1000. Or 4 Buy a large comercial two door fridge. They would hold between 4,6 maybe 8 at a push but it would be self contained and no other charges would be required. Cheers taz.

webber Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Some of the refrigerated vehicle bodies are demountable. The farmer on the farm we shoot in Scotland has one. One of the walls slides to reduce the volume of the compartment being refrigerated and thus save energy. He took it of a wagon, but I have no idea as to cost, but it may be worth a look in autotrader. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 most of the stakers round here use the same, big or small they're relatively cheap and best of all they work well. If you've got sensetive neighbours you can always clad it to resemble a shed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
