MAN CAVE HELP

MRBASS

Hi all...ive got a 14 by 10 wooden garden shed,now im turning it into some sort of man cave,but heres where im stuck,im looking for the best and CHEAPEST option to insutlate it,and also what boarding would i put on top to the insulating..ive seen a another shed done with plasterboard on inside,but id like to use something else?forgive me if its a bit of a stupid question,my DIY skills and knowledge are bad to say the least..lol..
ps
was suggested to me to use aeroboard,,anyhow any advice would be realy welcome
cheers

Insulated plasterboard is probably the cheapest option, but you could easily do without the plasterboard. just wallpaper over the insulation.
Don't forget about ventilation.

A man wouldn't need help, advice, or direction. What you're building there is a cave.

Definitely mid life crisis stuff..
Surely life indoors can't be that bad that you have to retreat to a dog house without being sent..

Why not take the money and set up a better entertainment system in the house where you can enjoy it with your family.

SCOL

This guy's is on drugs !!!!!! enjoy it with your family..... HAHAHAHAHAHA


I go to work to get away from them after work I go to the garage and
come in around 9 ish watch telly until 10ish and go to bed. It's great I only have to see them for about 1 hour per day.

I'm also working on a man cave, I've made a set of staires and I've floored the garage so I have a room upstaires. I'm looking at buying 8x4 sheets of insulation and putting them between the wooded joists in the roof. Maybe a cheap stove.

Na joking aside its just a retreat,i done some djing for years and still have the gear,i also play some music guitar wise so its a place to set it all up and go do it,along with drink and mates and partys...lol. thats a great idea you have SCOL with the stove and stuff,ill be happy to get my shed insulated and a few sheets of something on the walls..

It was a house garage, but with prices in dublin, i decided to live in the garage instead. literally , my mothers house is next door.

Totaly DANGERIOUS

Aerobord is highly flamimable and toxic within seconds giving off dense black smoke and has been the cause of many deaths from the old insulated tiles we all remember in bedsits.
That is why it has to be fire proofed with a minium half hour fire rating.
ie. Timber or plasterboard over it.
NEVER exposed.
Just thought I should mention it.
