Timber shed as pantry?

kellyshell

Hi All

I had a timber shed (6'x6') put in the garden two years ago and have never used it. I am revamping the garden and am moving the shed closer to the house and hoping to use it kind of like a pantry.........cleaning products, loo roll, tins etc.

Would I need to insulate or put anything on the inside walls?? Plasterboard or mdf?

thanks in advance:)

Bottles, Tubs, tins, etc. are fine


I would not use it for loo rolls, with or without insulation - they will get damp regardless

To nitpick a bit, a pantry is specifically for storing food and is built to be cold. However using a wooden shed for storage of anything that could rust (tins etc) will mean that they will rust. Packets will absorb moisture. If you line and insulate it, and put on a proper door it would be ok for storage.

maybe pantry was the wrong word, more household storage! Thanks for the responses will look into insulation.

If it's well ventilated (i.e. draughty!) then this won't be a problem, I store toilet roll and kitchen roll/towel in the garage and it's grand.
