Sheds ?

AdamSoS · 30-03-2009, 09:09 AM

Hi all

The new house ive moved into has a summer house.. a shed with carpet and mains already in!

So, any one have a shed kitted out?

Ive not checked what the temps range from yet but i imagine heating would be a problem when winter comes? or do they move them indoors then?

Any info regarding this would be great. Thank you

I have a little shed for some mine. Its 14ft x 12ft, insulated with 2 inch insulation board on all walls and floor, with 4 inch on the roof. Its been a sort of work in progress and I am constantly adding bits to it.

Heating is an electric radiator at on a thermostat, it only tends to be on at night though, because the UV/heat bulbs tend to heat the whole room during the day.

Ahh fantastic, thanks for the infomation. How are the temps holding? any idea how much it cost to insulate the shed?

Weighing up costs wether it will be better to keep them in there top tables or the shed idea

I know its not a shed but to do my tortoise tables in my garage with kingspan insulation, posh wood cost me £500 well worth it
