    Looking to get an insulated steel shed either 25 or 40 mm insulation,
    has anyone got the 25mm insulated one is it enough to stop condensation on the inside?

    the furry lining is normally enough to stop it in a well ventilated shed.
    The different thicknesses of insulation help with comfort

    Agree with this. Have a non-insulated SteelTech shed with the anti-condensation lining and it works perfectly

    I'm looking at getting 40mm insulated steel shed/garden room.. I plan on plaster boarding the inside,giving it smooth finish all round.. will I need further insulation or is the 40mm in wall panels amd roof enough? Any info would be much appreciated

    Would 12mm marine ply not be a better option

    Speaking of steel sheds, why don't they make them with normal door heights. I'm tall and looking for one with a normal height door. Like 1.9m

    Any recommendations for a steel shed about 4x2.5 meters?

    Sorry to hijack but I am also considering a steel insulated shed, could you pm a link to the supplier you are using?

    Or could anyone else recommend what structure would be suitable for use as a home gym, possibly with a partitioned area for general storage of lawnmower, tools et

    No prob.. from my extensive research in to the insulated steel sheds,they are a great option.. I have seen some internal finishes which resemble modern homes,i am just weary of whether they can withstand the irish seasons etc

    Thanks for that! That's the big conundrum isn't it, lots of choice but hard to know the quality of the finished product and how they will last in the long run.

    Just jumping in here but can anyone send a reccomendation for a supplier for a 10x8 shed? Not sure if it's across the board but steeltechs has increased around €200 over the past while in that size and lead time is July but looking to get it in soo early than that

    If the size is your main thing any you're not pushed on the layout, ask the company if they have a cancellation list for stuff that was manufactured and returned or orders that were queued and later cancelled. Neighbour of mine managed to get a shed within 8 weeks this way.

    I think she got it through the shed factory.

    We got our steel shed from FINNISH, Moylough, Galway.

    I don’t know if they do insulated but no harm contacting them.
