Insulation of garden house/shed

Well, that will dry eventually, in my opinion you can't really do anything useful. For now, don't store anything sensitive, the tool can probably handle that.

Do you really think that will dry?

Here is a photo where my wife had something standing in the corner.

After that, I first unscrewed the very bottom board. Now it is better ventilated, but you still can't put anything there.

Additionally, I see the fundamental problem with the moisture. Because I work, breathe, sweat, and emit heat, the existing air is warmed and absorbs additional moisture. But the hut and everything inside does not warm up as quickly as the air. So the warm, now more humid air cools down on everything that is cold and condenses as dew on the surfaces. Even if I then turn on a fan heater or radiator, the entire contents of the hut won't warm up that quickly. In any case, this creates additional moisture that must be removed. Or am I mistaken in my thinking?

Maybe I am completely wrong with the insulation and it’s more about supply/exhaust air. But the floor made me a bit suspicious...

Thanks and regards

How dry was the wood you used for the facade? It somehow looks wet in the pictures. That could of course explain the moisture, but it would also improve on its own over time.

Isn't it possible to retrofit a concrete slab in the shed somehow, or would that be disproportionate?

With this type of shed, I know many who have your problems and haven't found a proper solution yet. According to an acquaintance, many make the mistake that the gap between the wood and the paving is too small.

With sheds that have a concrete slab, I don't know such problems.

Hello pffreestyler,

I had also thought about a concrete slab back then, but the contractor considered it disproportionate. Now it’s even more complicated because the shed is right next to the house and the paving is in place...

Do you mean the distance between the wooden formwork and the paving? Or (if I make a floor) the distance between the substructure/OSB floor and the paving?

Thanks!

I meant the current condition. If the distance is too small, the air circulation apparently does not work sufficiently. At an acquaintance's place, the wood at the bottom is already molding. They have also talked about a [Bodenplatte]. However, they wanted to redo everything then. But nothing has happened there so far.
