I hoped there was something I could do about it, for this not to happen. :(

Apologies, wood shed, with ply floor.

Hi guys, I need something to cover the shed floor with. It needs to be non-flammable, and spillage resistant, as I keep a motorbike in there, and the last thing I want is for the petrol to cause me trouble. Thanks. :)

I suppose the handy thing about raising the lawn, is you can have a layer of good quality soil for the turf to have a decent start in. :)

Hi, Not necessarily the same, but I have the concrete panels used as a retainer (2x1ft tall) I lined the soil contact side with the plastic sheeting that's like DPM, then back filled with soil. Been like that for 3 years now, and been fine *touch wood*.

Out of interest, is this stuff acceptable to line the inside of the exterior wall, roof, floor with? http://bit.ly/13Jp7Mh The shed floor is timber 'beams', if you will, and I have put some ply sheet over the beams, so would be putting it inbetween the two. I intend to put carpet down...

Cheers :)

Thanks for the replies. Are we on 18th edition now? I wouldn't mind having a look so I have an idea. If worst comes to worst, I'll see whether its acceptable to run cable on the inside boarding, rather than in the shed cavity.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I'm not after doing the cabling work, but wouldn't mind running trunking to show where I want it going, if you understand what I mean. As for the insulation, does it have to be a 1" air gap? I was looking to use 25mn thick Kingspan boards, and then line it with...

Hi folks, Just to clarify, I'm not intending on doing any electrical work myself. However, I do want to do as much work as possible, so all I need is a sparky to connect the wiring up to what I want. Basically, I want twin sockets on each wall, and also lighting. My shed is wooden, and...

Hi and thanks for your response. :) It is the soft fibreboard on my bench and shelving, not ply. It only seems to be mouldy on the higher shelving - and I have some chipboard type shelving that isn't having the same problem, so perhaps it is just due to the cold and damp? On the roof...

Just to add: My floor is wood on flagged base, there are battons underneath between the flags and the floor. At the moment I just laid 12mm ply on the floor, but beginning to wonder whether I should lift it and put a layer of DPM between the ply and the shed floor?

Hi folks, First post here, and I'm looking for opinions on how best to deal with an issue or two. We've had our shed for about 2 years now, it's a pent roof model, and was built up by a company (which I wouldn't do again, TBH - See next part). I've noticed inside that my workbench and...
