Dear all,
I have purchased an ex-display shed. It was re-assembled in my garden and, following advice on this forum, I wanted a damp proof membrane placed over the tops of the tanalised wooden bearers and the underneath of the shed floor to protect the flooring from rot. The shed was delivered in sections and the wooden bearers were already attached to the floor. So the damp proof membrane was placed on the ground surface, the wooden bearers and floor on top of the membrane and the membrane was then lapped up inside the wall panels of the shed. So the void under the shed is essentially enclosed in a damp proof membrane envelope.
My question is this; will this arrangement lead to increased levels of moisture / condensation / rot / fungus etc that will hasten the demise of the wooden bearers and flooring?
Many thanks, I advance, for your advice.
