Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Mar 17, 2018 6:27 pm I'm looking for advice about insulating a shed that is big enough for 3 cars, there are 2 roller doors, there is already a basic kitchenette that I would also be replacing at some point. I want to do this so that during summer I can put air con on in there and have people over. My house is not huge so I see this as a logical choice for extra living space. I won't be using it to store any vehicles as there is enough covered areas to house a couple of cars.
