Yes. Yes. Yes.

Been there, done that, got the insulated shed.


How big ???


10ft x 8ft

Where did you get it from ? (not that I can get one from the UK, but it

will
give me an idea of what to look for over here)


We had a supplier on the Isle of Wight for sectional buildings. At the same
time as I ordered this shed I had them organise me a garage. This was about
the biggest I could comfortably fit on the plot available and was 20ft x
10ft. I believe both were 'bog standard' supplies



I found that the upright timbers in mine were just wide enough to take

an
insulated panel of fibreglass called a 'batt' (I think) These were

covered
with an 8ft x 4ft sheet of insulating board called 'Hackman Board',

(funny I
have just been talking with my neighbour about that stuff) and then
wallpapered as a study.

The ceiling was done in the same way and then for effect I put 2 x 2

timbers
which had been painted black for the 'Timbered Oak' effect.
The floor was covered in layers of old newspapers and then carpeted


I want to make a mess in it, so can skip all the fancy trimmings :~)


BUT, you want to be 'comfortable' whilst making a mess. Pictures? I have
ships ;-))



When I was working in there, one element of a Gar Fire was sufficient to

get
tooooooooooooo hot :-))

2" thick Fibreglass panels called 'Batts' (I think)
8ft x 4ft sheets of insulating board called 'Hackman board'
:-)))))))))))))))


ps
Don't worry about being Off Topic, it's still a garden shed and this is
