Thread: Ermats New Shed.

I insulated and then lined the metal working end of my shed with miniorb sheeting. It's surprising what can be hung off miniorb with ten screw but for heavier duty I did screw ino the girts or hund stuff from the roof trusses which are made of 5mm angle. The Miniorb is surprisingly good at reducing noise levels in the shed,.

It's hard to tell from the photo but the end doesn't look like 6. More like 3m. Must be an optical illusion as it looks like a smallish shed.

The photo you are referring to is Bobs shed, not mine.
I will post my shed progress photos shortly.

I got tricked by the 'photo to follow' and assumed it was yours. I always preferred picture books as a child.

Once I have all the ply up, I will plan the French Cleat layout.

I tried to correct inverted photos.... no luck.

Thanks.

I noticed your shed walls have no sarking on them - at least, it seems so from the photos?

Do you get any condensation in your area?

That is a good question. This shed has been up 9 months and I have seen no condensation.

Perhaps it evapourates before you open up the shed.

It’ll be there. Consider planning for it. My carport in Canberra develops so much moisture underneath that sometimes it feels as though it’s raining. (I’m joking, of course.) But I’m often amazed by how much moisture develops.

Rambunctious, who lives in Queensland, made some interesting comments about his experience in another thread. You might like to check that out (toward the end). As you’d imagine he’s in a humid environment. However, from what I’ve read, cold environments have their own issues and you should consider how condensation will affect you.

Roof membrane

There is membrane under the roof iron. Nothing on the wall. Definately no condensation forming on the inside the iron clad walls.

Only reason I asked that question was because when we bought the place we're in now, the shed out back (10m x 7m) had sarking on the roof, but not the walls.

The previous owner had bolted plywood to the purlins as you're doing. I wanted to investigate, because I was suspicious that they had not planned for condensation and allowed a way for it to naturally vent.

The amount of black mold behind the plywood when I pulled it off the walls was scary.

I ended up gutting the inside of the shed, and re-doing it: Midnight's Shed
