Nope you should be alright as yours is a traditional shed construction. I.E it's constructed as a frame that is then clad. The one that @Tenderloin is thinking of converting to a home office is a log cabin, so the structure is formed, not by a frame, but by interlocking CNC milled tongue and groove logs that form the structure like a traditional frontier log cabin.

Got you, thanks! Really appreciate the explanation.
Can I be cheeky and ask what you think is my best bet for replacing the door to my shed (was meant to be a temporary fix, has now been in place for three years) with something reasonably sturdy that will fit square and will provide some degree of acoustic barrier? I wondered about even a upvc unit fitted into a frame built into the opening but the available height is less than any standard door. Or just a more solid and square version of what I already have?
As you can see I could scarcely be more clueless with all this stuff, but finance and temperament combined tend to see me trying to bodge these things.
Oof, does this mean the craptacular shed-room-thing in the couple of images in my post above is going to pull itself apart? In my ignorance and without being able to find a guide to a similar project, I screwed extra studs between the battens of the shed carcass, packed in insulation and screwed on plasterboard. This was three summers ago. How many more years do I get from it before it implodes?
I need to replace the hastily knocked together solid slab door ASAP and was wondering if it will be possible to build in a properly squared frame then put in a pre-hung door of some sort- or is that just idiocy on top of idiocy?
@hugo7 that £750 was pushed up by getting materials specific to trying to soundproof the space (a few square metres of acoustic underlay was north of a hundred quid) and adding things like carpet and skirting so I'm sure you could do similar for c. £500 - though you may not want to in light of the above!
