    Heating a garden shed / gym to avoid condensation

    The problem is, there is also humidity in the air (more so than indoors?), and from what I understand condensation is only created during the time where there is a big difference of temperature (which is why it's advised not to seal outbuildings, to create an air flow). I have another...

    Heating a garden shed / gym to avoid condensation

    I was weighing this vs an air con, I know for example that air cons are very very electricity expensive, so I was hoping perhaps I could run this electric oil heater at low when the T/RH/DP values were at risk, I guess it's not economical but I don't have a choice right?

    Heating a garden shed / gym to avoid condensation

    What about getting a Temp, RH and DP monitor, and turning on a big oil heater whenever the values are unacceptable?

    Heating a garden shed / gym to avoid condensation

    I see, so I need a radiant heater that dries the air? Any way to do this economically and safely? (so the shed doesn't burn down) Is there maybe another way? Since it is insulated and sealed, will a dehumidifier be better?

    Heating a garden shed / gym to avoid condensation

    Hello, I am setting up a gym in a rather large (4mx4m) wooden shed in my garden. I haven't noticed any condensation yet, it has 4 windows and looks like it is well insulated. It is not that cold usually but I am afraid of frost temperatures in the winter causing condensation and rusting the...

    Converting a brick outbuilding into a gym

    And ... as this was my original question ... how do you minimize this? Leave a humidifier running? Heat it for some time during the day? Special wall coating?

    Converting a brick outbuilding into a gym

    Which I have almost finished, assuming it doesn't leak, won't humidity still cause the equipment to rust?

    Converting a brick outbuilding into a gym

    I have a brick outbuilding, around ~ 3.5mx2.5m in size. The equipment I want to store inside fit (power rack, barbell etc), but I am worried about preservation of the equipment (it is quite expensive stuff) since the outbuilding has occasional leaks and is not very dry. Other than plugging all...

    Loft conversion project

    Hi, I didn't get a chance to go up there yet, I will see if I can today, but I wanted to ask another question. Assuming I can move one of the vertical bracers, the loft will be quite spacious. Now, assuming I want to store heavy things in there and move about a lot - are there any health /...

    Loft conversion project

    Hi Static, I will when I get home, do you have an estimate on "how" expensive replacing them is in an average bungalow loft like this one? To describe it, there are 3 "sideways" planks of wood on each side terminating on a plank of wood on the floor, and there are 3 going across vertically.. it...

    BAXI boiler, pilot breakdown

    In the end the problem was both the fan and the PCB, which is half the cost of the boiler to fix, so I replaced it with a combi and got rid of all the tanks in the loft

    Loft conversion project

    Basically, I need to replace cross bracing, fit a hard floor and put a nice trap door ladder so I can make the loft easily accessible, more spacious and nice to walk about in. I am comfortable doing the hard-floor and the trap door ladder (which is just a fitting right?) myself - but...

    Which boiler for a 3 bedroom bungalow with 2 bathrooms

    I already have a water tank, but I wanted to remove it in order to convert the loft into a room - do you think it is better to use a water tank and forget about a combi? EDIT: Not sure why the showers are not fed from the water tank, presumably because the previous owners wanted instant hot...

    Which boiler for a 3 bedroom bungalow with 2 bathrooms

    I did the "online test" at the worcester website and it recommended http://www.worcester-bosch.co.uk/homeowner/boilers/gas-boilers/greenstar-42cdi which seems to be the most expensive and biggest boiler in the range? Isn't it a bit of an overkill?! I previously had a Baxi Solo PF 50 and it...
