How Do I Prevent Condensation or “Container Rain”?
In humid climates condensation can happen inside your container. This often looks like a leak, but there’s no hole in the roof. Condensation happens when there’s high humidity and temperature shifts from day to night.
Key points
- Condensation inside your container can happen in humid climates.
- This often looks like a leak, but there’s no hole in the container roof.
- Prevent condensation by increasing the airflow with vents or using desiccants in the container.
How to reduce condensation drips
To avoid condensation drips, sometimes called “container rain,” you can add vents to your container after delivery or put moisture-reducing desiccant packs inside the unit (available at most hardware stores).
Because containers aren’t insulated, the temperature inside them can swing with weather changes. Condensation can happen, but you can prevent drips by increasing airflow or adding desiccant packs.
