A bloke needs a shed

[Tonus72]

Thanks Mike - I was thinking about using pine framing vertically, and attached to the tophat. Then screwing the sheets to them. I was also thinking about having the framing sit on the floor, and then the sheets can be 20mm or so off it - allows me to washed the floor.

I am thinking this is over kill - I like the way you have done it. I will just have to sweep up instead!

The bonus of having the sheets to the floor is that it will cut draughts from under the cladding too. I am going to insulate the walls, I might have to go with a thinner batt though.

My electrician mentioned running something like 50mm conduit so we have plenty of room to work with later...

Sound ok?

Tony

Ps - thanks for the invitation too. We usually get over to Melbourne fairly regularly... It would be good to check your place out.

The Yellowtongue is a great idea. I have recently finished lining my shed with 12mm C/D ply and did the same - attached direct to the top hats.



Tony, I reckon you are on the right track with the lining and insulating. I used Tontine sound proofing insulation and am very happy with the result. I did leave the sheets around 20mm off the floor so it could be washed. I was planning on finishing that off with lengths of 50mm Al but not sure I will bother. The ply is reasonably weatherproof as well. All the cabling was run in conduit before lining was installed. I went with the overkill option so no need to run any more later.

Mike, what are you listening to during your garage sessions............Sex Pistols, Rage against the Machine or perhaps something a little more subtle like Pavarotti and the Tenors?
Whatever it is, it works..........
