Once the OSB is fitted to one plane is there a stud to fix it to in another?formula400 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 19, 2023 8:14 pmStaple barrier to the studsdemographic wrote: ↑Sun Nov 19, 2023 7:54 pm Through the vapour barrier onto the studs.

You often have to put additional studs/noggins in to fix the boards to, youll work it out I'm sure.

Yeah, that stuffs fine, just more expensive pers square metre, another option is just to cut the big sheets down to a manageble size (divisible by the stud spacing obviously) in the carpark of wherever you buy it.
Quite common for builders to break sheets/long lengths of timber especially down to more managable sizes before they go in the van, not many vans can for 4.2 lenghts of timber inside.

Re: shed insulation using polystyrene sheets
That’s a idea, I’ve only got a focus.
Works out £22.50 a sheet

Re: shed insulation using polystyrene sheets
