Some time ago someone asked about finding the aluminum studs inside the r pods.I have noticed that on cool mornings when there is a heavy dew or frost you are easily able to see where all the framework is from outside the pod.You could translate that to the inside and determine where to place fasteners to attach heavier items if need be.maybe this will help someone.

Aye, I've sketched out a rough drawing of my entire Pod from watching it on cool mornings just in case I ever need it for anything or just reference.

Thanks for this tip.  I will be attaching solar panel(s) to the roof and would like to tap into the framework somehow.

The front/back/top is all wood, so you should be able to use a standard stud finder.
