Can't wait to see the finished space. I grow in a log cabin that used to be a sound proof studio, it’s insulated reasonably well enough for a shed but creating another layer or shell inside will help massively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb & Flustered Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Nice. I'd use this if I were you https://www.wickes.co.uk/Knauf-Moisture-Panel-Tapered-Edge---12-5mm-x-1-2m-x-2-4m/p/190540 with (cheap) https://www.wickes.co.uk/search?text=Kay+Metzeler+General+Purpose+Polystyrene+EPS70 or (depends on size of your stud wood) https://www.wickes.co.uk/search?text=kingspan If you're buying online then I'd guess Wickes is about the cheapest,used to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhubarb & Flustered Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I'd get the moisture board plasterboard for inside,cheap for outside and then insulate the cavity,can insulate with the rolled stuff or one of the above.Whatever you go for,you're still going to be saving a fortune compared to buying a big tent. I'd seriously think about raising the floor if it were me & stick tube heaters underneath. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twigs Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 foil back board could be a good option if it’s cheaper than moister board + no spends on reflective material internally? just a thought.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron von greenback Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 If you building inside a log cabin which I would assume would be pretty warm and insulated already al you need to do is separate it into individual boxes if your temps and humidity are right now then you don't need to reinsulate mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ye mate you need some heaters as well if you going down that route in the cavity you might as well put loft insulation in it make your stud work out off 3 by 2inch wood also look into underfloor heating I don't think them do it yourself pre rooled stuff is that expensive if you going to buy them tube heaters and put them in floor any help you need just txt me mate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lux_Interior Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 +1 for 3ft tube heaters. They seem a cost effective way to heat a small grow. Invest in an Inkbird. Forget convection heaters they're history (£££). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
