Summerhouse advice (nothing to do with ludes

Post by paul bristol uk » Sun Oct 14, 2012 11:01 pm

I have bought this for my wife as her den. It is being errected this week(not by me its sodding heavy!)

As winter is getting closer and she wants to use it,I want to line and isulate it for her.So drawing on the diverse knowlege on this forum what would be the best stuff to use? I thought about ply with an infill of loft insulation. Put your minds to it please and I can get it done then I can get my shed back for mans things!
I am fed up with being tidy and asked why I want this or that.(I don't know why I want some of it but if I bin it I know I will need it in short order!)
I have kleptomania,
But when it gets bad,
I take something for it.

Nice one Nathan! Any Ideas what to put over it so she can paint it, Ply!
Rep points for that

Lucky she does not read this forum or you would be fitted for a wooden overcoat!(Coffin Nitin before you ask)

You can actually use a water-based metal self-etching primer on it and then it'll be ready to paint, or maybe even wallpaper ;-)

Otherwise you can simply sandwich it with plyboard or plasterboard (though probably not worth plasterboarding). Nice try W1ggz ;-) :lol:

EDIT: Obviously if you just choose to paint/wallpaper it, it will be prone to puncturing, so ply would add more protection.
