Ok so next weekend I will be putting my shed up and making it into my loft. Going on a concrete base. First question how high off the base should I go? Was thinking around 16”
Any does or don’ts you’s would recommend?
Loft will be west facing and the one I build next year will be south facing.

What's the benefit of a double skin on roof Ant, does it offer a degree of insulation?

There's vents in ceiling dave then above vents the ridge of roof one is cut out ok then there's a roof covering that roof so no mater what way wind blows under the sheets it pulls the air from each section 2019 I put them roofs on not once have I had to wipe walls or ceiling down because of bloom over it .Diamond Dave wrote: Fri Nov 07, 2025 5:40 pm What's the benefit of a double skin on roof Ant, does it offer a degree of insulation?
I did consider a roof vent on mine in the centre, do you still have ventilation at the top on the rear wall?

I do but I slowed it down I put roof felt over it and just run razor blade though felt so air gets in and out but can't go though fast.Held2025 wrote: Fri Nov 07, 2025 5:56 pmI did consider a roof vent on mine in the centre, do you still have ventilation at the top on the rear wall?
