Wood panelling Garden Shed

paulocon2 · 28-03-2022 10:27AM #1

Hi,

I have a medium sized Garden Shed that I have converted into a bar of sorts.

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestion as to where I could get wood panelling for the inner walls of the shed? Not looking for anything fancy looking, merely something to line the walls so I can hang some pictures etc. (I'll insulate the cavity).

Any suggestions appreciated.

Sheets of OSB - if you have facilities to cut sheets.

Be careful what you do here. IF you insulate without providing a vapour barrier, you will get interstitial condensation and the whole thing will rot from the inside out.

Timber sheds are a load of crap anyway. Rot Rot and more Rot.

Or any other builder's supplier.

That is not necessarily true, I had one (lined with plaster board, insulation, vapour barrier) and it was good for 20 years till I left the house, with minimal (ie no) maintenance.

Thanks for the advice. What would you recommend as regards a vapour barrier?

Polythene sheeting laid on the inside of the insulation.

I read a vapour barrier is not needed unless adding heating or air con to the shed, it can cause it to rot even quicker. But it may apply to a different climate. I read it when I was planning to build a shed, but I took too long and materials went way up.

Non-Climate Controlled Shed

Un-Insulated

A shed that has no insulation and is not heated or air-conditioned shouldn’t have a vapor barrier. The air flows through the shed causing moisture to build up inside due to superheating of the air inside the shed in summer. However, the air flow through the shed at night will also remove the moisture from the shed when drier air passes through. Ensure the shed is properly ventilated.

Insulated

If you want to insulate a shed that won’t be heated or air-conditioned, you’re better off not using a vapor barrier. The insulation slows heat transfer in or out, but the inside of the shed will still heat up in the summer. Without a moisture barrier, the airflow through the walls at night will remove moisture which plastic would otherwise trap.
