Hi Guys, Just noticed damp spots on 2 of the lower corners of my shed/workshop. Its coming from the crappy timber corner edging where the horizontal shiplap meet. Is this easy to replace?...or is ther something better to replace it with/cover it...some kind of plastic edging???. Many...

Hi, Thanks for the replys......well,the blade was quite bent so I had a go at bending it flat....didn't go too well! Anybody know where I can get a replacement??? I know Hock do one but can't seem to find a stcokist who has one over here. Thanks again.

Hi guys,Probably a stupid question but.... Wanted to know if any of you guys have owned/own one of these shaves. I've just picked one up and expected the sole to be flat(from front to back) but it is slightly convex. Is this the way its intended to be??........when I say convex I...

Something like this should be the ticket,what you think Mike? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EXTRACTOR-FAN-KIT ... 2303fb3a5d

OK guys,I seem to have really touched on apoint that interests people. So,this is what I'm gonna do. Install an extractor van and vent,that will hopefully keep things resonable when I'm not in there.Then possibly get a small dehumidifier and use it when working,if needed. Would really like to...

Thanks for all your replys guys, me head is spinning a bit with all this RH info. Took some ground level readings this morning though...... Inside shed was 7.3c/85% Outside shed was 6.6c/87%. So,obviously I'd rather not go down the rather expensive way of a dehumidifier,but just can't see no...

Just checked the weather forecast for my area tomorrow,heres the RH predictions.... 9.00 a.m - 84% 12.00 a.m. -78% 15.00 - 79% 18.00 - 94% 21.00 - 96% Me thinks I live in a very damp area!!

Thanks for the replys guys. I'll take a few readings in the morning and let you know what i find but I can tell you were I live (North West,N.Ireland) the humidity is bad most of the time. Check this out for readings RH for Belfast and I live much further to the North West coast...

Hi Guys, I know its been done to death but... I gotta 8 x 15 timber shed/workshop with good insulation but I got humidity readings in the high 80's.Have done for the last couple of months. Whats the best way of dealing with this,dehumidifier?......some people say thats pointless...

Hi Bigbob, I'm also insulating my shed and also have been wondering wot to do with the roof by way of insulating/air gaps. Same boat as yerself,no vents in the roof space,fascia. My thinking was to just drill some holes either side of the fascia and leave an air gap but I...

Thanks guys for ur replys, This is what is confusing me,as I said one side has a thick plastic coating(4mm/5mm thick) as far as I know this is the top layer of the roof at my brothers factory, the other a thin felt cover. So,Should I remove this layer(as there is another layer of thin...

Hi Waka, Thanks for replying to my thread.Wanted to know how you used this insulation?,did you strip off the glossy thick felt before using it or use it as is? Did you include an airgap with it?My studs are 50mm and the insulation is 45 mm.Was planning on scraping the airgap and using as...

Hi guys, Wanted your opinions on this insulation my brother kindly has borrowed (ahem!)from his workplace. Its in huge sheets,seems to be 2inch foam material with a heavy glossy felt on one side and a thin matt felt on the other....I believe they are repairing the roof on my...

9fingers,thanks for the reply(41 views and 1 reply), I was hoping to use 50mm Rockwool(not closed cell but I can get it cheap), Could I still use this if I included the vapour permeable layer to the cladding and then still left no air gap,would this prevent the insulation from getting...

Hi guys, Have received my pre-built shed and I'm now ready to begin buying materials to insulate. Now,I know the basics thinking and order of insulating,from inside out,Int cover,Vapour barrier,insulation,air gap,vapour breathable cover,ext cladding. My questions are...

Spoke to the company building my shed and they won't perform the installation of the breather felt unless I pay them to use there own material at cost,so looks like I'll be doing this myself once I get the shed. Obviously this will mean the breather layer will not be between the cladding and...

Is this also suitable? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=001

Hi Old, Thanks for the reply.Excuse my ignorance but what exactly is this "breathing felt" and how expensive is it?

Hi Guys, First thread here so bear with me. Shall be ordering my shed/workshop in the next few days and need some advice with regards to insulation. Its going to be a small 8x14,3/4" T&G,3x1and1/2"framing,apex roof,your basic B+Q type thingy but hopefully the build quality will be...
