Boarding garage

[brunochops]

hi all just after some advice. I am planning to renovate my garage. This is attached to my house with single skin walls, there is no cavity or insulation.

I wish to board the walls with osb2 and was wondering to build a frame and connect the frame to the walls or can I just Hatton straight to the wall and board.

There are no signs of damp and I do not plan to insulate.

Do I need to add barrier protection or not.

Any advice would be appreciated,

Thanks

What are you renovating your garage to be?

When I say renovating, I mean, make it smarter with a work bench shelves sink etc. not going to be part of the house or lived in. Just don't want to chance the wood getting damp in years to come

If it were me and I was intending to use as a workshop, I would consider insulating it. If you are to build a stud wall, it does not need to be directly fixed to the existing wall, providing it is secured by being fixed on both head and sole plate.
If you are going to fix timber sheets, it would be wise to get the width measurement of these and from there you can work out your starting stud and your centres. This will then prevent unnecessary cuts to the sheets.

Thank you, for the advice. So although the wall is single skin providing, I fix at top and bottom and use treated timbers there should be no need for extra measure to extend its life
