I used a double layer of the silver bubble wrap insulation that Home
Desperate sells in 2 and 4 foot rolls. Its a good, cheap insulator
that won't collect water and also reflects radiant heat as well. I
used 3M adhesive spray (the version with a nozzle that shoots a
stream vs. a spray) to stick the stuff down---it doesn't take much.
Prior to putting that down I used Foilastic roofing stuff on a 9"
roll on the metal walls as a sound deadener. 1/4 the price of FatMat
and works really well. I found that using flexible smaller sized
pieces of both the deadener and the insulation worked best when
trying to get into some of the harder to reach areas of the doors, etc.
