How to insulate a summerhouse or shed | Using your summerhouse in the winter

In this video I’ll take you through the processes I used to make a summer house usable in the winter. How to the inside of your shed warm and cosy and give it a log cabin feel too!

This is a great weekend project, that really make use of a unloved space during the winter months.

Do you not need to put a layer of damp proof membrane around the inside first ?
Isn't the insulation going to soak up the moisture on the exterior wood and become soggy over time?

[vtechead]

Needs a plastic membrane between the insulation and the exterior wood. The insulation will eventually get soggy and damp will come through to the inside.

We'd like to insulate the children's play house for winter use too. Great ideas here.

I’m literally just finishing my new build and I was thinking of insulating. Very helpful thanks man 👍

Priced this job up and it was more than the summerhouse!!

Didn't even know I wanted to do that until I saw this...another thing to add to the growing list! Going to be a busy spring! Thanks so much 📐✏🔨

Just in time, I'm working on exactly this for my "garden shed" turned workshop.

I would love to do something like this for my guinea pigs.

Would it make any difference in how much heat it will contain when using the loft insulation vs a proper wall / cavity insulation ? Of that should not make a difference ?

Looking to buy and do this to a larger log cabin for winter use .. but do I insulate the roof ? And floor also

[mrking]

Hi, do i need a gap for ventilation between backside of insulation and wall of shed/summerhouse?

[chistia]

[Ladosligese]

We're in the process of putting up the same summerhouse and my wife likes the window ledge idea. Was wondering if you're still able to open that window though?

[JulesLepp]

Hi, smashing video. Not sure if I will be able to do this by myself but am going to give it a go. Quick question. Did you insulate the roof and floor?

[robshaw]

would a 35mm air gap be as effective as the insulation ..so you could omit insulation???

[mariefoucher]

Hi mate. Lovely work. do you provide this service? I'm about to purchase a summer house and would love it to be insulated

[Kungfoopoo]

That looks top notch man, great job 👍
