Shed insualtion

NomadicGray

Recently had a new wood shed installed, it's 10 x 8 and has 3 perspex windows. Originally I thought about insulating it before putting any ply up on the walls. But can anyone tell me whether there's any point considering how much heat might be lost through the windows.
I'll do some light woodwork and potting in there, once in a while it might be needed to house a sick chicken. Beyond that it'll house usual garden items and some plastic storage boxes with household items.


Thanks

8 foot by 10 foot?
As there will be no source of heat and only gets very occasional use during which you can insulate yourself better, then I see it as being a large unnecessary expense for very, very little gain. Plus, the added complexities of ventilation and managing the dew-point just make it a no-no for this dimension of a box. Don't forget that insulation also keeps the heat from solar-gain out, so the internal temperature will remain lower during warmer periods too.
You could pin-up a vapor barrier to lessen the moisture ingress from the wood panels though, or treat the exterior with a waterproofing agent either.

I'll be treating the exterior as best I can either way, and have a vapor barrier up on the inside so next decision was on the insulation or not. There can be a heat source if needed, but again thats another cost which might literally go out the window along with the cost of insulation. When you get to things like dew point I wouldnt have an understanding of that so I said I'd throw it up here will doing the research around the internet

Thanks
