"On Shed"

[Laurie_B]

The problem of cold and condensation can be a big problem in trying to keep bright steel parts from rapidly going rusty.
I should have thought a layer of insulation behind plywood (maybe marine plywood if you're worried about it warping) or possibly hardboard might be better than plasterboard.
The other possibility to consider,if the condensation is a big problem,is investing in a dehumidifier unit.Maybe there are some relatively cheap ones on the market. www.machinemart.co.uk sell them.

Hello Roconnor,
at present ,my shed is a custom built 13' by 6' treated timber, to replace the previous on which died from ''WOODWORM'', the floor joists are doubled up so as to take the weight of approx. a ton and a bit of tooling.
the inside was lined with building board 5/8'', the inner walls being sprayed with water then expanding foam then the lining boards screwed on, Windows are double glazed [toughened glass], as is the door, strengthened and double lined. Heating is supplied with a link in to the central heating using a 5' radiator, the heat from this is held by the bulk of metal in the lathe and mill e/t/c and released during the off periods at night, seems to work very well as no signs of rust anywhere.

Hi Laurie,

You might get more response if you post this question on the main board instead of on the ModelWorks which is more for Modelworks related messages.
