i dont see how you could possibly weld a fucking... 25 gauge galvanized stud to that container. maby tacks with a tig machine, but its not going to be very strong.
maby if you got a stud welder and threaded studs, but i doubt you have one of those.
regarding condensation... this is down to the metal reaching the interior dew point. its simple, you insulate either side, it does not matter much provided you insulate either side properly.
if you insualte the outside you could probably drop 2" foam boards then lathe then siding.
if you insulate on the inside agressivly with some ripped down 2x4's on the high spots and spray foam the whole interior wall cavity... idk you could probably go without any siiding at all... but spray foam is always hideously expensive.
Commercial studs are 16 guage. I used to work along side a crew that did steel framing with a plasma cutter and a 120v fcaw machine. I could weld them with a stick machine with 6011 if I had to. The thin gauge are 25 ga, but if I point the arc at the thick steel I can stitch em with the little fcaw machine. It's not a bridge.
I'm a certified welder and been a welding and fabricating for a long time. That's how. You sound like you've worked in the field a bunch know about a lot of construction techniques but I got this welding thing figured out. I almost used steel for the roof framing but it's a little pricey
Folks usually spray foam container buildings. DIY foam costs about 70$ per box. I haven't found an installer to come out yet, but a guy that sells the kit I found.
