Hi, I'm building a 12x8 shed/summer house on a slope so its on 6 concrete pillars with concrete lintels across them. The shed floor will be 5x2's or 6x2's joists with 18mm ply on top and and then a laminate floor (which I had spare).
Do you think I need a damp proof membrane as its 6 inches off the ground at the lowest point about 3 ft at the highest. Or is it better to let it breath.
Was thinking maybe of kingspan between the floor joists too.
Also was going to wrap the shed in tyvek - is that necessary on the roof - which will be 4x2's with 12mm ply and felt on top 4 inch insulation below.
All windows and door will be single glaze and it will be heated with a wood burner fairly regularly.
Thanks.
