Insulating my potting shed

[Capt Gilles]

I have recently lost my crown to a local fellow allotmenter (Stan Bridges) for growing the most high yeilding tomato plant, in our village fete. I have found that he uses an insulated potting shed in order bring on the plants before finishing them in a convential greenhouse. I'm currently looking for cheaper suppliers that B&Q to fully insulate my shed. I need to make sure that it is fully insulated as our plots are near to one another and I don't want to give the game away with light and heat steaming from my shed this winter. Presently I'm looking at Kingspan 50mm or Celotex 65mm to cover the total area of 165m2. Any advice, tips or recommended suppliers would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

That's not a potting shed, it's a garden centre!


Anyway what you have asked is not a proper question, what exactly do you want to know? For suppliers, try google or yellow pages for builders merchants, celo and kspan is pricey though, you'll probably get away with constructional polystyrene and stapling foil-backed bubblewrap to the inside of the room. But be sure to provide adequate ventilation.
