Tiny 7 1,694 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Kingspan and board it out in the inside... As long as it's draught and damp free your sound fellah (P.s i always stick rugs on the dogs when its cold also, Just a thought) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
s horsfield 7 Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 thanks lads, just been to wicks the king span is abit expensive, but they have some polystyreen board 8x4 in diffrent thickness's from 50mm -100mm only starting off from £5.55 .and they wont hold water if they get wet. so thats the road i'm going down with 3mm board over the top to cover it. cheers everyone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiny 7 1,694 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Best off luck with it fellah, Couple of pic's as you go along would be nice too show other lads thats thinking of doing the same thing as you how too go about it... (Kingspan is easyly got if there any building sites near you ask one of the work lads and you'll sort them a good drink out of it, Trust me more than not you'll get it) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

moonlighter 1,164 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I've used fibreglass loft insulation. Then boarded over with 12mm plaster board. This can be painted white once a year if you want to freshen it up a bit, plus it's a third of the price of sterling board or ply wood. I then lined the bottom with some off cuts of kitchen worktop which i got free from work, to protect the bottom 600mm from the dogs scratching and such like. I would prefer to use wood instead of plaster board but I needed about 12 sheets so it came down to cost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

inan 841 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) I have two block built sheds for my 4 dogs, [2 in each,] lined in tongue and groove, with fibre glass insulation underneath. wooden flooring ,a couple of inches thick.Both are sheds within a sheds. A flap on the first door, sharp left turn [so no direct draft,] another door and flap, with a short board for the dogs to hop over then over another board into their bed, full of shredded paper. A flap on the door shown to the left in your pic might be an idea in the cold weather. Edited October 10, 2012 by inan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
