Little bit difficult as it's a deep V shape, so anything dropped in runs the risk of moving. Difficult to fix from inside as the beams are also already screwed together inside.

Good morning all. I've run into a slight problem with my shed build, the cowboys who built the shed originally (I bought it second hand) didn't board the roof properly, in that they didn't butt the roof boards up to each other, then just felted over the gap. I'm installing an EPDM roof and...

Aha, so mesh along the outside edge of the overhang, roof ventilation sorted, but what about the walls, as there are horizontals running below the windows which basically stop any airflow from the floor up to the eaves. How about cross venting through the verticals and vents at the top in each...

Again sorry to sound like a stuck record, but floor to ceiling ventilation is very difficult due to the construction. Should probably have included some more photos originally, but here they are now. Also included where the roof sits on the walls, showing there is airflow direct to outside, as...

Also should mention with the roof that there is excellent ventilation along the sides, as there is a gap between the overhang of the roof and the shed wall, i.e. The roof does not sit snugly on the wall (if that makes sense?).

Ok thank you again Woody, and I guess you're right, I kind of had it in my head that the shed really does NEED to be insulated, if only to stop condensation/damp/mildew. What I've finally settled on, and please please advise me again if you think this is wrong, is breathable membrane stapled to...

Thank you. My guess is that something is better than nothing, right? I'm probably going to go polystyrene sheets for the insulation now as they're more robust and less likely to flop down. Would I still need a vapour barrier on the inside, i.e. fixed to the frame? I'm now using t&g cladding...

You mean against the external boards on the inside? Removing the boards isn't an option, as they are nailed on, with a nail gun so the heads are completely recessed.

Have tried this, just my luck though, nothing anywhere near me

OK, here goes: Our choice to build so no obligation from the landlord to reduce rent, Permission obtained so won't be any need to remove it IF we leave, Regulations - none required for this size, Could've, should've, would've........ Trailer / caravan, no chance as it's an enclosed rear garden...

Thanks Fitz for the clarification. More things to consider, so thanks again for taking the time.

Thank you, I'll take a look.

OK Woody thanks. Would appreciate the views of anyone else who concurs with this opinion?

Yes, was just trying to maximise the insulation and thought loft insulation would be a good value solution.

Absolutely no chance this will be coming with us if we do have to move lol.

Hi Woody, sorry my initial post wasn't clear; the 14 x 8 main structure is going to be a pub / TV room / summer room if you like, used for entertaining, watching footy, kids to chill out etc. The shed is a separate part that I'm going to build onto the outside of the main structure, but at a...

Foil bubble wrap was another consideration, but opinions again are very divided on how insulating it really is, as opposed to just reflecting the heat back in and the cold back out. Regarding no insulation, I'd hate to do that then it be effing freezing and need to pull the OSB off and sort it...

Sound reasoning there Fitz, just really not keen on extending all the framework by another 2 inches either side all around, due to the additional work / cost involved. RWA45 is also prohibitively expensive to my budget. Trust me I've looked at all the options on this, and because of my gaps...

Not sure that's the case to be honest, how will moisture pass from the warmth inside to the colder outside if the OSB is acting as a barrier?

Ok so I'm looking at 75mm rockwool/fibreglass, and OSB internally, no chapter barrier needed?
