Thread: Shed Lining Corrugated Iron

I would tink that corrugated iron would cauise all the internal noise to reverberate.

Half the new part of my shed is done in miniorb which is not that different to standard corrugated.

I haven't noticed any difference in the sound levels and it doesn't reflect that much light from lights.


There are heaps more photos in my shed fit thread.


I reckon it looks awesome and on reflection should have done the rest of the shed this way as it it very quick to install and unlike gyprock needs no painting or patching

Other advantages are it is fireproof and one can hand light things off it directly using tek screws.

I think a corrugated lining would look really great. Would it be cheaper than plywood?

definitely one of the main advantages, the other advantage is that it wouldn't b prone to damage as easy as gyprock. I have a gyprocked garage that I use as a workshop and it has scars from me using it as a workshop the odd thrown spanner after taking bark off he he.
Is the minorb expensive? I was going to use standard corrugated sheets or should I say zincalume.

It's more expensive than straight corrugated but I don't know by how much - In fact I don't even remember what I paid for it.

One thing I did learn is make sure you buy it all from the same place. I bought most of mine from stratco but the I needed 2 more sheets and as Bunnings was closer I bought it there. Only when I went to fit it did I realize that the profile was not exactly the same so it did not sit properly on the join over the stratco stuff.

Another advantage is it does not need wall studs and can be installed straight onto purlins with the addition tek screw to join the edges if needed.

Hey Soredust

I've seen it done an it looks great. Huge advantage not needing additional studs to support. I don't suppose you are located in Melbourne? If so and Pakenham is within reach check out Ranbuild on Princess hwy. Their office is a normal Ranbuild shed lined internally with normal corri.

"Custom orb wall cladding" would be good words to Google rather than corrugated internal lining. Custom orb is available in a couple of diifferent thicknesses both very adequate for walls as it is designed really as a roof material.

I would resist the temptation to fit the sheet horizontally as this can be a dust trap. There is a Lysaght product designed for wall lining and ceilings called panelrib however it is close to twice the price. It does have a wider coverage 850mm versus 762mm. You often see it installed in public outdoor facilities as a ceiling or wall and on patio / outdoor area ceilings in public entertainment precincts.

You can read more about Panel rib, mini orb and Custom orb for shed walls here if you like Colorbond & Zincalume Shed Wall Sheeting & Cladding roofing | Steel Sheds in Australia

Lysaght Mini orb is rolled in Sydney and distributed across the country from there. It is also about twice to three times the price of Custom Orb depending on where you shop.

I personally don't like the bunning varierty ( Fielders supplied) it looks and feels light on. (last time I saw it, 2 weeks ago, Bunnings,Toowoomba).

Resist tempatuion to go for a thin light (cheap) product. Spend a couple of extra dollars per metre and get a little thicker quality sheeting.

If all Soredust wants to do is cover the insulation then the light gauge one might even be preferable.

I would say that the shed probably has vertical external cladding, so you would not be able to do horry corry without having to add battens.

Corry done neatly looks great.

If you can find a salvage yard nearby that has excess colorbond sheets, you can flip them as they are all the same color on the reverse (Armour Grey I believe). As they are not being used in an external application they should be fine (and cheap).

I don't need thick steel sheeting for the inside of my shed. It is really just to cover the insulation.

Starting to think corrie may be a wee bit expensive though, miniorb definitely is

Initially that's why I only did one end section (10 sheets) of my shed with the miniorb but it went up quick as a flash. The rest is done with gyprock. Sure it is cheaper but it's taken a lot longer to install since it needed wall studs and then patching and painting and it's not as strong. My shed is not very big so I now wish I had just done the lot with the miniorb.

Another option is CD 6mm ply easy to put up comes in 2.4 and 2.7m long and also 900 and 1200 wide.
I just covered a 10m x 6m shed walls and ceiling for just under $500.00 for the pine battens and sheets.

You can run some 42x19 battens top to bottom and screw every 300mm,

Looks a treat and more durable than plaster and can be easily screwed to.

Mini orb or normal corrugated gal can be a mongrel to screw to as the screw will not alway take or you are not on the high spot.

If you want more light just get the roller out and a couple of coats of white paint and all done , only need to be done once in your lifetime.

Assuming 2.4m high walls that works out to under $4 a m^2 which is very cheap, cheaper even than gyprock (~$6 m^2).
When I looked at using 6 mm ply I found I could not clad for anything less than ~$8 m^2 and that was using 35 x 19 battens.
