MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
Since you are stepping up and spending the money for a nice aluminum shack you will want to do it right, that thing will last for a couple of generations. You will want insulation, I like foam for lots of applications, but unless it was applied so it would not stick out past the frame (making it difficult to sheet-over) I would consider using the foam board, it is easy to work with, put it between the framing, then sheet with a thin covering of your choice, something to protect the insulation that can be wiped down to keep clean. I would highly recommend you have the floor insulated, I would talk to Mission about possibly foaming under the floor during the build. As was mentioned, put a heat barrier behind and under the wood stove.Heck some peoples houses don't look that good. I was going to build an 8' X 12' aluminum shack last fall patterned after my wood shack, but after pricing materials decided to bite the bullet and ordered a new one instead, having them finish the interior. The walls on my unit are insulated with foam board and sheeted over with a very thin aluminum, the floor is foamed underneath. I later added shelving and built a rack to put firewood in and a place to set things on top. This picture was taken before I installed the add-ons.
