    Default shed lining

    I am thinking of lining my workshop in 19 mm partical board or 12mm plywood with it off the floor with a 19mm X 42mm foot of treated pine to stop the ants & rot
    with insulation behind it, Then covered in plaster board to give it a nice finish, has any one done this. I want to have a bit of a sound deadining withit so I can have it nice
    Regards Michael

    Michael, first of all I wish I had your type of shed reno budget. Two layers of plaster (ideally 13mm) will work better and should cost less. If really concerned, use two layers of Fyrecheck...actually has a better rating than Acousticheck.

    Other than that, i'm sure your going to get a flood of responses from the sound gurus.

    Craig.

    I'd save yourself a hell of a lot of work and just go with insulation and either the wooden or plasterboard lining.
    Are you putting the wooden backing for attaching things to?
    If so then you can just put plywood over the plaster just in areas where it is needed - this also protects the plaster underneath - like this.

    I lined my shed with16mm chipboard, a 1200x2400 cost me $13.20 a sheet, which was "seconds" direct from board manufacturer. I have found this great as it doesn't get dinged when I swing things around and I can screw whatever I want and wherever. I also put colourbond On the ceiling, because it was cheaper than plaster, didn't have to paint it. Also to my understanding the ripples of the corrugates help the deflection of sound.(you can get a perforated version designed to be used with a sound blanket. I've seen this in school gyms)

    I've lined my shed with 16mm White Melamine. Heavy sheets. The white allows me to use my shed without supplementary lighting more often.

    I am putting in more steel perlins to support the wall linings. The budget is I get what I can afford as we get paid monthly so I will be doing one wall at the time. As I have lost the ability to work on cars I am putting all my energy into my woodworking & workshop hence the lining of the work shop. I have just been informed this is all mute for the next 2 months as I am having back surgery on the 4 th of june & the second op on the 18 th then its 4 to 6 weeks of no heavy lifting from that time. For the roof I have already got 40 mm poly styrene panels up there already with silver bats on the shed side between the perlin's but I will look at using the colour bond on the inside save putting up lining boards there as I was not looking forward to doing that I will scrounge the demo yards for the extras
    Thanks for the reply's
    regards Michael

    Line it with a heavy board all round and use a cleat system to hang things, this allows changes as needed and is very versatile.

    I have only done one wall of my shed, & I did it to hang stuff on.


    My shed is a standard tin shed with C section posts & rails.

    I made timber frames & screwed then the the rails between the posts. When I did this, I ran 2 Horizontal & parralel beams between each timber upright, about 150mm apart (internal)

    I boared a couple 25mm holes through the timber uprights, inside these horizontal beams.

    Then I glued & nailed a strip of 18mm MDF to the back of the Horizontal beams.

    I screwed the timber frames to the Shed wall and cut a sheet of MDF to fit from the bottom of the frame to about the mid point of the bottom horizontal beam.

    I cut a narrow strip of MDF to go from the the top of the last sheet to the mid point of the top horizontal beam, & then the last sheet went from there to the roof of the shed.

    By screwing the top & bottom sheets to the timber frame, I now have a sealed conduit to run electrical cables, with a removeable strip on the front.

    I made a similar section on the end to run cables up the post for lights & power over the apex of the roof.


    It's not a great pic, but you can see the conduit cover above the belt sander.

    1st operation was half successful still have pain and getting bad again. O well that's life wont let then do the second one. Due to it being on the S1 and S2 bones in the coxic and the the pain related with it. Constant pain is with me all the time. But it sucks having to work slow now in the shed. Got 3 panels up in the shed only 15 more to put up then in goes the gas heater to keep the cold out while trying to work.

    Hi Michael, I know what you mean about constant pain, it certainly is the pits. It gets to the stage quacks look at you and think you're a hypochondriac. Problem is that there is nothing legal, to help with it.
    Why not invite a few mates around to help with the wall, put on a barby, 1 Sanger each though . I'm sure some from here would come and help, if it gets to hard for you..
    Regards
    Kryn
