    EPDM for summer house

    Thanks for that, on my old summer house I simply laid the felt on the osb , folded it over and secured it to the underside then used some cladding nailed to the edge of the osb. A bit of investigation leads me to the following idea. fix some batten to the front and sides of the osb (on the...

    Mrrusty thanks for all your help, I ended up going with tyvek house rap as it was only about £15 more and I reckon it will be easier to sell on ebay.

    Insulating summerhouse (during build)

    Mr Rusty Thanks for your reply. I have cut the timber for the frame based on a 25mm over hang of the base so that the centre of the 4x2 sits on the frame, so add on the battens and cladding and the overhang is about 60mm , Do you see a problem with this? I was hoping to avoid sheathing the...
