[Attempted Mustache]

I have a question for you knowledgeable shed people

I have a 8 x 6 summerhouse, basically a tongue and grooved shed with windows and doors - nothing fancy.

I want to insulate it so I can use it more, I have a supply of Celotex which I am planning on putting on the roof and sides.

I was planning on boarding it with old pallets but i have a load of old laminate floor and wanted to know if anyone has used this, benefits are that it's free, a nice design and it interlocks.

Thoughts?

We have a shed which a previous owner had insulated this way - it certainly makes it usable for more of the year. However you need to be careful to avoid an issue I’ve been dealing with - the insulated void between the exterior slats and interior panelling trapping moisture and causing the shed to rot from the inside…

With regards to use of laminate, I’d be inclined to use something treated/rated for exterior use, I think even if you manage to avoid moisture I’d expect laminate to warp quite quickly simply due to the range of temperature a shed is exposed to.

Thanks for that, that's kind of what I was worried about happening.
