Can anyone offer any shed insulation tips? I was thinking I'd use some 50mm PIR boards in between the framework and then 9mm ply over the top but now I'm unsure if that's going to be right (maybe 12mm is better) and if I need a vapour barrier anywhere.

Also electrics. Seems a shame to not 1st fix them and bring them out the walls properly later, if I'm going to insulate. Rather than just whacking a them in conduit on the face of the wall. But maybe I don't fancy having the spark come twice.

Can someone tell me what to do please?

electrics...conduit

It's a shed. If you want it looking smarter get galvanised conduit.

I guess there's a case for it getting in the way of storage. But also with thin insulation you'd be impacting that.

Galvanised conduit will be an expensive install. Nothing wrong with PVC. That’s what I put into the in-laws cabin. It’s single skin walls so no cavity to hide cables in. Looks neat if you put it in properly.
