Thanks for the answer about an air gap. I was just going to board it with OSB on the inside too for neatness, with some good quality shed paint. I am impressed by how well Johnstone's Trade Workworks renovated a dilapidated summer house and has hardly weathered over the last 2 years. Not...

Good ideas there LL, food for thought. Might be easier to keep the glass behind any OSB but secured against it with sealant. Could then use mastic/putty to form a 45 degree angle between the glass to the board outer side I think whatever I do I'm looking at meticulous prep for...

Yes it is plaster of Paris based but it can also be used as adhesive when used with scrim like material. That means you can fix your panels be they MDF, OSB, plasterboard or plywood together with out the need to cut any timber to any particular angle. All the ceilings at the Merry Hill shooing...

Might not be worth using sheets on the outside. Just felt/batten then fix the cladding. Save the dough and line the inside with ply instead. Will be strong enough and you can insulate behind it and give it a coat of paint. For the floor I'd get 5 sheets of t&g roofdeck osb. Whatever...

Hi all, I'm looking to reduce the dust in my integral garage which is a concrete floor. Part of the garage is an extension, you can see the differential line in the picture. The floor is sloped to a drain outside the door, presumably to allow for run off of any vehicle? We won't be using the...

The soffits are the wrong way round but it's not important really. As long as there's a vent at the other end they'll be fine. Your Celotex needs to be against the ceiling, definitely not against the underside of the roof. The cold/dry outside air should vent the bare underside of the OSB...

Hi guys. I have recently just finished my garage and last couple weeks I have noticed loads of black mould spots appearing over the entire of the inside roof on the osb. The areas are worse above the doors and back edge where The upvc clad is. I have had the floor layed about month and half...

The DPC only needs to go part way up the bearers or use packers to raise it off the floor and allow air to circulate, if going this route use mesh on the gap to prevent rodents, and chipboard is a no no it will rot, use ply or OSB. Nearly finished one myself, slightly larger than yours, cost...

Yeah definitely up to me and if I thought I could skim it without making a mess I'd choose that as well ;) I was thinking of ply and use some contrasting painted spare bits of ply or even a piece of 18x69 over the join and possibly a bit either side. Add some interest, cover the joins and look...

I am about to create a floating floor using OSB3. I like the look of what people do with clear coating it, making it glossy and apparently stronger/longer lasting. Now this is inside an out building that will have fairly high humidity. Not silly levels, but constant 60-70% Am I better of just...

How much space will you have around your garden room to clad? If you are building tight to the boundary, SIPS wont really work. If you have access, SIPS are better as effectively you are just bolting it together. It will be light, strong and very insulated. When I built my own, I used the...

That is exactly what it is, and I would as the utter garbage called "OSB" is another one

in my opinion 12mm ply on dry to damp sheds is by far the best cladding material on the inside walls you can hang virtually any weight you like from it without fear off damage and the surface in a workshop or garden room is smooth and generally without painting less industrial than...

Hi All, We have some space at the back of our garage where we currently have a freezer, washer and tumble dryer and I'd like to smarten it up a bit. The garage is made of sectional concrete panels so I'm looking at boarding the back bit out. I was planning on painting the inside of the wall...

Have you taken a look at what the stairs are made of? Plywood, OSB, Paricle board etc. If the stairs are plywood and you can strip any paint and sand the treads, stain to the color of your choice and finish with two or three coats of satin finish polyurethane. Make sure you light sand between...

Thanks for your idea, Burnerman. I hadn't considered OSB. Is that a better material than ply? I was thinking of painting the timber, which is why I hadn't considered OSB. I use the trailer literally for anything and everything. It's a tip-up agri-trailer so it gets used and abused, for sand...

Thank you all for your pearls of wisdom. Rubber mat went down a treat. As per suggestion, laid it in position, folded half back, glued, then repeated for the other half. Simples. I have now realised I have another issue. My trusty trailer, all rusty, scuffed and boarded with flaking, rotting...

Hello: My daughter has a bay window, in which she wants a window seat with two cupboard doors on the front. My current idea is use a sheet material and cut the holes for the cupboard doors, when I've hung the doors I plan to use mouldings around the edges to make them look more like doors...

can you paint the stairs instead of staining the plywood? I am having the same problem and I dont' know how good the plywood is underneath the carpet. So I was wondering if you are able to paint the tops and of stairs instead of staining them. I don't want to put a lot of money into the strairs...

Hi All, Just trying to establish what timber has been used for my garage roof. It’s a 1980 build. I’m presuming there is a layer of OSB under the felt roof. However, as there is no insulation in the joists so I can also see a second layer of some sort of timber sheet. I’m assuming it’s the...
