Not sure what these are called but I am referring to it as the porch. It currently looks knackered and I wanted some suggestions on how they should be renewed. The wood along the side and top is rotten and the pole has flaking paint and rust. I was thinking about new OSB board and rubber roof...

Hi, I'm building a summerhouse, the roof will be 12x16ft with a slope of 2 degrees (1 in 30), 18mm OSB. Would be grateful for advice, cannot decide between felt, fibreglass, one of those products that you paint on, or a kit from Screwfix with a single membrane. The latter option seems most...

Mine is a bit like you describe. Its a little bigger (about 4 x 7) and single skin block built. Inside is lined with rockwool on some walls and celotex on others then covered in OSB. Got the OSB second hand, it was building site hoarding and came ready painted and was cheaper than plasterboard...

so am i right in thinking my best option is to aquapanel the walls i am tiling and ok to aquaboard the skimmed/painted walls. shame osb aint any good for it.. always keep a pallet of that in my store for my flat roofs. think i will have to go with a well screwed 12mm ply on the p5 then...

I am building a SIPS (structural insulated panel) extension and am looking put a waterproof coating on the internal OSB wall and roof. Can anyone tell me where I can get about 20l of gloss paint cheap or of good alternatives e.g. Everbuild 402 waterseal (which is designed for masonry) or...

For anyone that finds this thread by a search I opted for a specialised paint bt Zinsser. Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Matt (Tinted). Yes for 5L it may feel expensive but goes on great. I got my man cave painted, ceiling and all internal walls (building size 6m x 4m) done in one coat. One more coat...

Agree with post, dehumidifier is expensive when compared to ventilation which is free and more effective. I used a dpc sheet to line the walls and then 9mm osb to overboard internally which if painted white with some cheap emulsion makes the whole place brighter and allows wall fixing wherever...

VCL's technically have a vapour resistivity value so high they are practically impermeable, but some gaps are inevitable no matter the workmanship and that's what models assume. With passive its not unusual for the board materials to also provide air tightness as well as a VCL (or to not even...

Thanks for your reply :) The OSB is not quite free, but is at cut-price, good condition leftovers from a project. All the timber (including new joists) i'm gonna have to buy at full price from a timber yard. It's a good point about the condensation problems that this could cause, I thought...

Ah right, no plasterboard (I wasn't sure if the green stuff was more waterproof, but I guess just to stop moisture travel in ceilings, etc). What about OSB? I know that's quite water "resistant" ... If I got OSB and applied something like INTERIOR DAMP SEAL to make it a bit more durable? Or...

Sounds good. You got any photos? So you put battens against the block and then filled with rock wool and screwed the osb to the battens? Good idea, sounds cheaper than using rigid boards. How did you find laying the blocks, easy to keep straight?

Firstly forget Marine ply, you definitely don’t need that; it’s expensive & WBP uses similar waterproof adhesive in construction & is effectively the same apart from the decorative appearance of the expensive, external veneers of Marine ply. Although I’m familiar with ply & most manufactured...

Hi guys, I'm trying to build a screen/wall at one end of my patio out of pallet wood. As per a number of how-to's online the easiest way to build it is to nail-gun the pallet wood to some OSB. Seeing as this is outdoors I feel I need to do something with the OSB. I know it's going to get some...

I have a 20 square metres felt roof which is getting tired - I want to treat it before the winter So far my research shows me I should buy either IKOpro Universal Flat Roof or Cromar Cromapol and paint the roof Does anyone have any ideas on what is the better one - My felt roof has no...

I cant. The frame itself (think decking frame) extends beyond the shed. Nothing is going on the floor of the shed (well maybe an expoy paint just to dress it as it will be a workshop/shed). Im thinking about the OSB that will be "outside"

At the moment im unsure what would be better - 1. Digging individual pads (deeper than intended) lined with a membrane and filled with type 1 2. Creating a firm raised subbase and then putting the blocks directly on this base. Steps - Remove slop and standing water and dig down to firmer...

Hi all, we are going to be taking delivery of a 12x8 wooden shed to use as a gym/garden room. I have a number of questions that I hope those with more knowledge than me can assist with. 1) Have been advised to paint it with oil based barn paint. Where do I get this from/ the mainstream stores...

we want to create the smoothest finish really (I know not ideal with OSB). We will be using it as a bit of a dog room/wash room aswell

All accessible via a loft ladder? Sounds like a dodgy (fire-trap) loft conversion to me.

OSB is similar to chipboard but larger timber flakes are bound together with resins so its much better but still needs paint or other wood treatment to make it last. Jigsaws have their place for sure, but for long straight cuts its a bench circular saw or hand held circular saw ideally. For a...
