I think you need a continuous barrier between the 22mm and the "sub floor". It is how I have always done it - e.g:
Garden room / posh shed /workshop build log
- Thread starter Buffman
- Start date
Ah that scuppers my plans..... Just being devil's advocate but is that continuous if it doesn't go under your kitchen units?I think you need a continuous barrier between the 22mm and the "sub floor". It is how I have always done it - e.g:
If I sack off the glueing I could just use upside down tyvek air membrane?
Yeah it is a bit sketch in kitchen because I had to lay the PIR after the kitchen refurb to keep the family ticking over.
Yeah upside down membrane works fine too. I just used the cheap Screwfix vapour barrier in the end.

... But Tyvek doesn't actually have a direction right?

This was my floor before the OSB deck went on. 100mm PIR and fully taped joins. Deck was fixed with adhesive along the joist lines and screwed down.
And after the OSB deck went down

I've gone for this. It was peeing it down all day and it was truly awful to work in.
The base is retaining a lot of water which is slightly worrying too... I think the kronospan protect is fine out in the rain.
I also realise I forgot to check if I need to slice down the long lengths so I don't have a slither at the end but I think I'll be OK.
Also some of my timbers I moved to a different section and some of the non treated CLS has mould in it! (tarpaulin must have leaked).presumably its sound to use I'll just spray some anti mould stuff on it?

I got a quote a couple of years ago from the same company selling these packs and it was circa £42.5k for a 5x4 metre garden room with an integrated shed to one side

Your roof is costing twice as much as mine and im using box metal steel roof, 7m x 3m…….Well I thought it would be the front/back primarily taking the roof. Regardless I have a lot of rods to a decent depth.
I am ****** after it, and sunburnt!
Did you order something similar to the below from rubber4roofs ie a full "kit"?
I have seen those metal corrugated type roofs but to be honest I'm happy with an EPDM one.
Did you lift your 6m (?) walls yourself @dlockers ? Just thinking it might be easier to lift it with the OSB on but only got myself to do it.
Yeah on my own -- I did put one or two sheets of OSB on to keep it square.
Ah nice might try it with my 7m wall... Is there a video on how you're meant to single lift it?
I think in his solo build video he did. TBH the main thing is being ready to secure it - so have an offcut of 4x2 with 45s cut into each end, and the screw mostly home in the right face of it lol.
It didn't move nearly as much as I expected - I don't think I toenailed it or anything, but I believe that is the "official" way, i.e. whack a nail through it so it can "pivot" and not fall backwards.

Day 3, like a total tool, I forgot the Paslode and Davey forgot the levels. Not the best start to a day or a build tutorial. But in true style we over came t...

1:10 but obviously half the size!
If you think it's too much, you could "chop" the fall and do it in two halves.

Funnily enough I just watched that! That's the main miniseries I'm going to watch.
I'll try it on the 7metres, got a few hop ups I can put under it.
Where I've got my 4.8m lengths on the header wall did you add a double timber to support it?

No just a single header. If I had done 600 spacing I may have.

Now I've got pictures posting properly... Current state is all Tyvek'd up with a tarp roof and temporary door.
And a few pics from it in progress

Floor is in.
Any issues from the neighbors?
Not yet..... Altho I am going to go slightly over the permitted development (circa 2.6m in height) so here's hoping even if there are issues id have planning accepted (over 1m off all boundaries). Gonna have 200mm extra headroom over the build pack and doors I've ordered are 2100 high.
I realise fitting the back wall and overhang and gutter is going to be a pain in ass!

@dlockers did you cut your boards flush with your frame or allow a small overhang to stop the OSB clashing with the wall?
Looks like to stop a clash would need a 2cm or so offset if that makes sense. But realise with walls over 2.3m and 100mm floor beams the 2.4m OSB probably won't hit it anyway.
