    Hey, I want to insulate an old shed in order to store saddles in it, which are sensitive to damp, so was wondering whats the best way to go about it.

    The walls are bare concrete, with an old corrugated zinc sheets on the roof, would I just batten the walls all around and plaster board the whole room including the roof after insulating fo course, or would I need to do more?

    Has the shed got cavity walls or is it a pre-cast or mass concrete construction?

    I'd suggest finding a better place to store the saddles.

    Is there a heat source? Or ventilation. As without heat, insulation will do nothing. As with out ventilation damp will still be a problem
