Hi all,
So just before I move on with this, can I just get a confirmation that the general consensus would be to fill the void and not overly worry about potential hyrbrid roof problems? Thanks.
Hi Jameshow, thanks for the reply. 40 inch PIR insulation and plywood board screwed up was my original idea. Although, I would have run foil tape along the underside of the rafters and the abutting edges of the PIR boards, to create a seal. But was concerned about creating a hybrid roof, as...

Hi Fitzroy, the base is sitting on raised heavy duty decking risers floating above a concrete base. I am not overly concerned about it getting damp from the ground.
Like you, I also can't imagine how I would effectively and assuredy completely fill a void with expanding foam, and it seems...
I did consider putting 40mm PIR board in the void and sealing that with foam and tape, but from what I read and learned from YouTube, unless I created a true warm roof, then the next best thing was a cold roof. Otherwise, you are creating a hybrid roof, which is not advisable unless you have...
Thanks Sam93! I have considered fans. I guess my main concerns are that I would have to install a pair for each void (so that would be a fair few fans), and once I staple the insulation onto the rafters and fit the ceiling boards (3mm ply I am thinking) I would not have easy access to repair...

The shed...
