New wall panel on tool shed, should I invest in wind barrier?
I have a small cabin with garden tools, considering making a sauna in one end. Or a workshop for the whole thing, or a garage. In short, I don't know what to do with it in the future but need to replace the siding now.
Thinking of tearing off the old one, kottla, stapling up windproofing, then new siding... That way I could add insulation from the inside if I want to later. Just thought I'd double-check with you so the idea isn't completely crazy.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but don't forget the air gap between the panel and the wind barrier.

I would be very happy if it's true 
How precise you want to be depends a bit on the purpose of the building. Few would build their playhouses as advanced as their homes - and so on.
I built a small chicken coop last summer, far from according to all the rules. Råspont for paneling, diffusion-open wind barrier, frame structure, insulation, diffusion-open wind barrier, råspont as the inner wall. No heating and uninsulated plank doors/flaps.
So far it hasn't rotted away, but I guess it won't last a hundred years either. Painted with oil paint inside and outside.

But when I google, it doesn't correct it but offers me both images and YouTube videos about kottla, or do both words exist, just that kottla are interior walls and kortla are exterior walls?Anna_H said:
