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.

Can you do us any pics Neil that would explain this to get some idea please if you can.

I have double roof system on all my loft ,love it.

My double roof plus there's wood ceiling in each section as well.

Bought these to put on yb loft 200mm ones

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 .

I did consider a roof vent on mine in the centre, do you still have ventilation at the top on the rear wall?

It’s very basic
It I did it again I would do the double roof system I think Anthony has one like the ones in Ireland

Both Neil please.

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.
