Building your own DIY hunting cooler or freezer?
If you already have an insulated shed, garage, hunting cabin, farm building, ranch, or DIY cold room, you may not need to purchase a complete walk-in cooler.
You can build or source the insulated room locally and install a self-contained monoblock refrigeration unit to turn it into a walk-in hunting cooler or freezer.
You build the room — Freezing Valley supplies the refrigeration unit.
At Freezing Valley Refrigeration Equipment, we supply monoblock refrigeration units for hunters, farms, ranches, hunting lodges, outfitters, butchers, and game-processing facilities around the world.
Our refrigeration systems can be used for cold rooms storing:
Deer
Elk
Moose
Wild boar
Wild game
Beef
Lamb
Other meat products
Whether you are building a small personal deer cooler or a larger walk-in game room, we can help select a refrigeration system based on your requirements.
The required temperature depends on whether you want to chill fresh game or store frozen meat.
For chilling and holding fresh game, a typical cold-room operating range may be approximately:
34°F–38°F (1°C–3°C)
The exact temperature should be selected according to your product and local food-safety requirements.
For frozen game and meat storage, a typical operating temperature is approximately:
0°F (-18°C) or below
For lower-temperature applications, refrigeration systems can also be selected for approximately:
-4°F to -13°F (-20°C to -25°C)
The refrigeration unit should always be selected according to the lowest temperature you require.
A monoblock is a self-contained refrigeration system designed for cold rooms.
The main refrigeration components are integrated into one compact system, including the compressor, condenser, evaporator, fans, temperature controller, and refrigeration controls.
For DIY hunting cooler projects, this offers several advantages:
Self-contained design
Compact refrigeration system
Pre-assembled refrigeration package
Less refrigerant piping required on site
Easier installation than many traditional split systems
Digital temperature control
Cooler and freezer options
Different capacities available
50 Hz and 60 Hz options available
Different countries use different electrical standards, so it is important to confirm the power supply before ordering.
We can supply refrigeration equipment with 50 Hz and 60 Hz options, depending on the model and application.
This allows us to support projects in markets including:
USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Middle East, Asia, Africa and other international markets.
When requesting a quotation, please provide your:
Voltage + Phase + Frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz)
and we can check the correct configuration for your location.
The refrigeration capacity should not be selected based on horsepower alone.
We can supply:
1 HP | 2 HP | 3 HP | 4 HP | 5 HP and larger systems
The correct size depends on several factors, including:
Cold-room dimensions
Required temperature
Insulation thickness
Ambient temperature
Amount of game/meat entering the room
Desired pull-down time
Door usage
Electrical supply
For example, a room measuring:
6 × 8 × 7 ft (approximately 1.8 × 2.4 × 2.1 m)
operating as a cooler at 35°F (approximately 2°C) has very different refrigeration requirements from the same room operating as a freezer at 0°F (-18°C).
This is why we recommend checking each project individually.
No problem.
If you already have the insulated room, you don't need to purchase another complete walk-in cold room.
We can supply the refrigeration unit only.
This is ideal if you already have:
An insulated hunting shed
A hunting cabin
A garage cold room
A farm or ranch building
An existing walk-in cooler
An insulated panel room
A butcher or game-processing room
Build the cold room locally and add the refrigeration system afterward.
Before ordering, tell us how you plan to use the room.
For chilling game:
Approximately 34°F–38°F (1°C–3°C)
For frozen storage:
Approximately 0°F (-18°C) or below
For low-temperature applications:
Systems can be selected for temperatures around -4°F to -13°F (-20°C to -25°C) where required.
If you want the same cold room to operate at both cooler and freezer temperatures, tell us before ordering. We can check whether a suitable refrigeration system is available for your application.
To help select the correct refrigeration unit, send us:
1. Cold-Room Size
Length × Width × Height
Feet or meters are both fine.
2. Required Temperature
For example:
35°F (2°C)
32°F (0°C)
0°F (-18°C)
-13°F (-25°C)
3. Insulation
Panel/wall type and thickness, if known.
4. Application
Deer, elk, moose, wild game, meat storage, etc.
5. Electrical Supply
Voltage + Phase + 50 Hz or 60 Hz
6. Delivery Location
City + Country + ZIP/postal code
We can then check the required capacity and recommend a suitable refrigeration unit.
