Insulating a Timber Shed

Huggy_Bear · 2020-08-29 08:11:49

Morning allCan someone help me understand the best approach to insulating a garden shed. Its made from wooden stats and 2x3 studs which I think are all standard widths. So its already built. I plan to use the space as a workshop all year round so I'm looking at a couple of options to insulate the walls but I'm confused…

For internal cladding, gaps between the slats are not going to make any difference to condensation/damp. Externally, you'd want to shiplap to ensure water runs off freely.

Thank you - I've saved up a few slats that are a bit too 'rustic' for making things and its going to be a good way to use up boards.
