Cladding for garden shed

[Mull]

I built my 'Man Cave' using a framework of treated 3x2" on a raised concrete base. I built the frame first, then stapled a 'Vapour barrier' on which is effectively green polythene form screwfix! The outside was then panelled with shiplap timber treated with cuprinol. I then filled the inside of the sides with cavity wall 50mm insulation and the roof with celotex. I lined the inside with 6mm plywood and painted it. A butyl rubber roof kit cost about £200. Upvc windows and doors from ebay, old reclaimed kitchen units and worktops, full electrics and it's more like a chalet that you could live in!

What type of heating you got in there?

Just turn an electric fan heater on for a couple of minutes and it's roasting in there!

No! Far from it!

It started as a shed, but I suffered a little 'mission creep'!

I daren't show the inside which is now a mixture of tools, reloading gear and ferret shite!

I do have a fine stereo tuned to Planet Rock (Absolute Rock?) and I'm able to run a chainsaw in there at almost midnight without waking the neighbours so my soundproofing must be quite good, although I need to get the windows and door open quick as it is also pretty air tight!

It's pretty secure too. I have a worktop and cupboards full length with vices along the window side, and a row of lockable metal cabinets and a large metal safe along the back wall. It also complies with building regs which is an essential consideration!

My shed is not as grand as yours but it's still a tidy mancave. I got a local welder to make me a gas cylinder wood burner. Toasty.

Ha, fair enough. Only ever sold to them and were a very good company to deal with.

No cant do as the grass needs cutting and edging.
