Insulate a shed

[Magnus E K]

Hard to imagine that anything more than the panel would be needed, or even that. There are garages where the walls are not clad at all and you can see the framework from the inside.

I will also create a ventilated air gap in the wall by drilling holes in the sill, angled downwards out through the outer panel. I will put copper mesh or mounting tape over the holes that will be in the outer panel to prevent mice from getting in there. I'll cut down the current wind barrier and then screw 22 mm boards in the angle between the wall stud and the outer panel, and then staple the wind membrane on the inside of the boards so a 22 mm ventilated air gap is achieved. I believe it might be good to get ventilation to the wall.

has anyone done something similar for a well-ventilated air gap?

Am I risking problems with water intrusion if I drill ventilation holes through the façade right above the sill?

I'm in the process of nailing battens against the outer panel to get an approximately 25 mm air gap. Then I will nail the wind barrier on the inside of the battens. Inside the barrier, the insulation will be installed.
