We got our walk-in cooler when the local Food Shelf needed to expand.
The refrigeration people informed us about it. We have it installed outside
and needed to increase the exterior insulation; we glued 2" (closed cell)
styrofoam over the entire exterior. Also, we built a canopy around it to
keep it out of the weather. Our insulating, the canopy plus the
refrigeration company's installation came to around $1,000, a pittance
compared to what the cooler would have cost had we had to pay for it.
A restaurant near here made one by making 10" insulated walls and
installing a big air conditioner into it. Theirs works as good as ours and
they spent nearly the same money.
