Hi,
I'm just building a new workshop (shed) at the bottom of my garden. Its a heavy duty 14x10 shed bought from my local sawmill and I'm quite happy with the build quality etc. The shed is in a sheltered location and will have its own 60A 240V supply, but I'm concerned about putting all my toys (tools) into it from my heated garage into a potentially cold & damp shed. I'm thinking about cladding it with 11mm strand board (cheaper than ply or MDF) and filling the 4" gap with rolls of loft insulation. I would also staple insulation to the roof space. Is this a wise idea? Also, I'm considering a installing a false floor with 2" expanded polystryrene sheets underneath to help insulate the floor. Any thoughts? Do I need a heater in it?
thanks in advance
Chris
