shed lining
Just a quick one want a help with choosing
looking at lining the shed & will be mounting cupboards on the walls
which would you use
12mm form ply or 16mm melamine as the shed is only 6 mtr X 4.5 mtr x 2.4 high
any suggestions will be fully insulated as I go to stop the summer heat

Coffen up, why 12 mm ply , you can use 7mm exterior B C Grade , I have lined a Child Care Center on the Sunshine coast with this , 15years ago and it is still as good as the day it was put in. I would not recommend 16mm melamine as it is not structurally stable and is susceptible to moisture, also toxic if a fire occurs. Also the ply will be easier to handle due to it's lower weight, buy a 6 lt tin of clear varnish, 1coat with 10%thinners 2nd coat straight,both sides, will last for years and look good . Jeff vk4

I suggested 7mm for reasons of cost and stability over the Melamine board, if you intend to screw shelves etc direct to the wall. then 12mm , If you can get 12mm for $33 a sheet that is good value, I would go that way,

I lined all my walls with 16mm chipboard and then painted it white. I can hang anything from it and this may be cheaper than ply.

Hi
Lined mine shed and it worked out very good, it's much brighter and more comfortable to work in.
Lined my with cover sheets that come with a pack of board. Helps to know a joiner who would get them all the time but you could ring a few of the local to you and ask not so much the Kitchen people as they use there for kick boards. These can be chip board or mdf usual 16 or 18 mm thick some time there melamine finish is not a coat of paint. This is good as you can attach stuff to the wall any where you want.
Here is a link to my project

I used green tongue structafloor, cheap and strong enough to hang shelves & cupboards on. Also 3 widths fitted perfectly between the shed frames.

If it's not too late I went with 12mm 5 ply, which is working well but sometimes I do wish it was a bit thicker. A note though, either leave a gap to the floor or make sure you seal the concrete well first. I put my lining in before sealing the floor, and had mould appear from rising damp.

I wouldn't use melamine or any form of chipboard in a fit where strength is needed. 12mm nonstructurak pl is cheaper than folrm ply and has ample strenth to hold screw to mount the cupboards, as long as the "studs" upon which they are mounted are sufficiently strong and properly spaced.
