A bloke needs a shed

[Aussie Mike]

Yep, polycarbonate sheet roof across each of the 4 bays on the raised center part. It also extends down the short wall from the top roof part to the lower roof. This should give me plenty of light.

Aussie,

I was advised against the laserlight sheeting as it fades the cars and its too hot in summer.

I put 50mm insulation ( non fyberglass ) into all the walls, the ceiling in the GYM ( Yeh right ) I put the best SP I could get. As I have plastered its impossible to add after.......

STIFFY

Stiffy, I thought about the heat and fading issues but the need for good lighting overrode that. I'm not having any external windows for security reasons and I didn't want the place the be dim and dark. I went for a tinted sheeting so hopefully that will cut down on some of the heat and UV.

I spoke to a couple of insulation suppliers and they reckon it's OK to use batts with a colorbond shed as long as you have a layer of foil between the batt and the steel. That shields them from the condensation.

Cheers

I've seen some 'slide back' shades on wire tracks that concertina when opened. I don't know where I saw them but they were pretty simple. Maybe you could fit them to pull down when you aren't in the shed.
