Yes, you're right.
When I undertake anything I just research and research and research some more to make sure I'm prepared. I don't want to go in guns blazing only to regret not doing something.
Thank you Fitz, you've been most helpful
Thank you Fitz
OK, so holes in the OSBs to create the ventilation between the boards and the roof but to completely block off and seal the inner shed/room? If we're using it and need to we can open the door but I'm just a tad worried about when we're not using it at all...there'd be no vents...
Thanks for your "essay" Fitz. Its much appreciated :)
ok, I've got Celotex insulation sheets for the insulation which I will make sure is snug and also tape all the joints will aluminium tape so that no warm air can get through to the cold side.
I'm also going to Celotex the ceiling.

hi
I'm loving my new shed but need a bit of advice...
I'm going to insulate it as we're going to put a pool table in there.
All around the edges, there's a gap for ventilation. I'm going to start insulating etc so I need to sort the gap out. I'm going to put a few vents in some but, to bridge...
I'm going to put 12mm battens in a wooden shed and then breathable membrane and then insulation. the battens are to maintain the air gap
I'm just checking the type of wood I need in case there's a water ingress? I'm guessing treated or is something like this ok...
Thank you so much for this . I think I'll do :-
"OUTSIDE -> Cladding -> Verticals (2x3) cavity battened with vertical 12mm against cladding -> Breathable membrane wrapped around and fastened to battens leaving 12mm air gap -> Insulation layer between verticals and against membrane -> DPM /...
Hi
I'm on a budget but need both breathable membrane and also vapour barriers.
Can anyone recommend a certain brand and also cheapest suppliers please?
Thank you in advance
Was going to ask in a separate post but may as well ask here ... I want to do the roof as well.
Its just got roofing felt on top of the wooden roof at the moment. I'll use the same 50mm sheets and then possibly OSB's. Anything else you can suggest to use on the roof or anything else I...
I might just do this. The only woodwork for me would be the 12mm battens prior to putting in the Celotex and then the boards afterwards.
I did think that if I used pallet wood there would definitely be air getting into the gaps and I'd have to do something about it so this answers my question...
The 12mm batons do sound like a quick and easy solution but I'm worried about the lack of membrane. A lot have told me that with Celotex I really don't need a membrane.... Argh lol
Thanks all for the replies....
Still not sure whether I should put a breathable membrane in....what if I put in batons to keep the insulation away from the cladding but then maybe tacked or stapled the breathable membrane to the batons? Only trouble is that the membrane would then be against...
Hi all
I'm new but need a bit of advice...
We've had a new wooden shed and we're going to put a pool table and dartboard in there for our teenage kids to go out there.
We want to insulate it and then just put OSB boards up (or possibly pallet wood) so that hopefully it won't be too chilly in...
