From: NeatRipple on 16 Dec 2008 12:57 Does anyone have direct (good) experience of a supplier for a 3 x 3m (or thereabouts) garden building suitable for occupation? By that, I mean, you can put stuff in it (maybe a computer and furniture) that won't spoil through damp and condensation. Looking online there seems to be 3 types: 25mm and 45mm thick plain walls, and 115mm thick insulated wall construction. Don't want to go with the last one because the price, understandably, rockets.

If you go for the cheaper un-insulated wall type, which is basically like a garden shed, you will need to have sufficient heating during the winter months to prevent damp and condensation. Un-insulated will have high winter heating costs, insulated will still require winter heating during periods of occupation but will be less than the un-insulated option. So which ever option you go for you are going to need deep pockets!

Those small cheap to run convection radiators are probably your best method of heating, and don't forget to factor into the costing a "fuse box" for the electrics. -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service ------->>>>>>http://www.NewsDemon.com<<<<<<------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |
