Hi,
First time poster so please bear with me.
I have a log cabin in the garden that I use as my office full time.
When we first moved in the cabin was in need of a new roof which we replaced.
Since then as a quick fix for the winter we put in loft roll insulation between the rafters and covered it with a plastic vapor barrier.
I have noticed that that insulation is damp from moisture...
Do i pull all of the insulation out and start again? If so, what would be the correct method/materials?
Thanks
 
Just remove the vapour barrier. Probably be ok
 
Remove the polythene and board it with a timber board of your choice. The insulation will dry off. Timber sheds don't need vapour barriers.

But check for no signs of water ingress from the roof of eaves.
