Hi,

I've starting my workshop build. I've got the concrete base done with brick plinth for walls to rise from (as per Mike G recommendations).

Pics will follow shortly.

The building will be 5 by 3 metres and the walls will be made from 2x4 stud with OSB on the inside.

I'm just sourcing my timber now and have question? I was planning to use 18mm OSB for the insides of the walls but I'm wondering if 11mm would be OK. Any thoughts?
 
11mm OSB is what I used on my workshop lining last year. It's worked out well. Only downside is if you paint it, it is hard work to make sure it gets in all the nooks and crannies.

Cool, sounds good to me.

I might use 11mm for the roof too because of the reduced weight.
 
As I was very short of height, and the garage roof beams undulate a bit, I used 6mm ply for the ceiling. The ply has been very successful, strong enough for the insulation above and bendy enough to follow the roof. But it was an absolute b****** to get up there alone due to the floopiness factor :oops:
