Idly revisiting the idea of insulating our shed.
This time rather than explicitly thinking about using it to create an outdoor 2 season office space, I'm thinking more of a cheap way to reduce the temperature swings for use as a potting shed.
Internal joists are ~4cm. I remember someone saying net + insulation was the cheapest route. Anything else?
Also if I was going to pick 1 or 2 walls and a roof which would be best? I assume the roof would retain some heat and the roof and south wall with windows would prevent some of the rise in temp. Or would it be totally pointless?
To avoid any confusion the aim of insulating isn't a passive house in the garden it's to bring the inside temp to a more usable range. My old notes have daytime temps from 10°-45°. Overnight is a nudge over the outside temp, but I'm not worried about that as a quick blast with a heater in the am would bring it up.
Edit: £45 for a couple of rolls of foil bubble wrap looks like the cheapest.
