I hope to be moving into a rented property in about a month and there are three sheds in the garden.

Structurally they seem quite sound but as I want to store some camping equipment in one of them I want to dry line them internally. They are bog standard type garden sheds measuring 7' x 5' (2off), and one 10' x 8'

Not sure yet which one to use for my gear but my plan is to line the insides with either 6mm plywood or MDF boards. I want to take them from floor level up to where the roof slopes and also cover the insides of the roof in the same manner. Will I need to fit a moisture barrier of any kind and, if so, what should I use? Will I need to put any plastic ventilation covers in?

Are you insulating the cavity, is this particular shed heated in anyway.
Personally I would insulate, vapour check and use MR boards. You may not have to do all this but it covers the bases. I assume the landlord has been informed of your intent?
 
Thanks PBoD.
Shed won't be heated but I thought it would be wise to use a vapour barrier of some sort.

Have rented off this particular landlord before and he is more than happy to let me do what I want so long as there are no major structural changes to the house itself. As far as the garden and sheds go I have free rein.

Installing a vapour barrier will do no harm, as you are not heating the area, there is no need for any heat loss prevention (thermal insulation).
