Hello everyone.
I currently have a double concrete prefab garage with a thin tin roof and its pretty useless at the moment. I bought it off eBay and it was collected and assembled in a bit of a rush so is a bodge to be honest. The roof is way too low and as its not insulated everything inside is soaked with water dripping from the ceiling.
I am planning on sorting it out this year. I am going to extend the uprights, which are currently not used, by cutting them and welding a piece in the middle. I want to then refit the roof and somehow insulate it. I also have some second hand plastic coated lining sheets I am planning on lining the garage with.
So my question is, what is the best thing to do to line the roof? Am I better off scrapping the tin sheets and using something else? Ply and felt maybe? Or can I reuse the tin sheets, line with fibre glass underneath and then plasterboard the inside? The problem with the roof sheets is they are already second hand so have two sets of holes in already.
Also will I have the same problem with condensation on the walls with the plastic coated lining sheets? Would I be better off getting rid of those and lining it out with ply or something else instead.
I can't spend a fortune on it as it needs a new door and the floor screeding too but I don't want to waste money doing a half arsed job.
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers
