Miines in my celler but what i did could be applyed you a shed, i insulated the outside wall and inside wall (10cm outside 5cm inside 10cm celing) what youll have to do seeing as yours is outside also put a minimum of 10cm under your shed too (i used Sturodur, dont know what its called in english but its a very hard polystyrene). Make sure youve got an extra fuse box for your shed. Now my shelving is made from untreated wood, dont seal the wood as wood works and if its sealed and a crack and water gets in, it has no way out so will start to rot the wood from the inside.

thanks

that sturodur looks siulair to kingspan which is very costly

as said above looks like im using 5cm polystyrene and a layer of foil buble wrap allround (claims to be as good a 5.5 cm)

fuse box is no promblem still have to do a new shed supply with a nice big fuse box for me to use.

for shelving i was going to use 28mm kitchen work tops (cheap ones can be from £15 for 3 meters) and i know i can trust them.

thanks again
chris

edit
i wont forget the essebtials lol (mainly the hot things) :lol:

also what have you done for lighting? i was think of using 2 5ft fittings and no light for the tanks
