professional work man learned alot from this thank you, im working on insulating my shed now and thanks to you im adding ridge vents now i wouldnt have thought of that if i didnt see this lol
Sometimes those R19 batts for a 2x6 (5.5in) bay are the same weight per square foot as R13 batts intended for a 2x4 (3.5in) bay. This means they have the same amount of fiberglass, with more air. By compressing the 5.5in batt into a 3.5in bay you should end up with R13. Some say you'll get slightly more than R13, but I don't see how. The fiberglass is not doing insulation, it is just trapping the air, or in other words stopping the air from moving around and convecting heat between outside and inside walls. The trapped air provides the insulation. This means that if your 5.5in batt has more fiberglass than a 3.5in batt you will end up with more fiberglass (not insulating) and less air (insulating) and you will get less than R13 insulation value by using the R19 batt.
Thanks alot for the comment. You are right, I also read something similar, compressing a R19 down doesn’t meat is better. The trapped air is really important. Thank you for watching!!!
I noticed you didn't place any barrier material on the ground before building your shed. How do you keep moisture and/or weeds from coming up through the floor over time?
My shed roof is metal overlaid on each other it’s a 30 or 25 year warranty. What do you suggest I do for the parts of you being on the roof for removing the shingles
The holes that you drilled for sofit allow air flow. You mentioned that some bugs could get in, is there also danger of water in a heavy rain? Also, instead of the vent along the whole roof, can you not have one vent at the front or back at the top?
I believe you need an intake (soffit) and output (ridge vent). So the air comes in at a lower point and then as it rises it exists out of the ridge or gable vents.
That's incorrect it's not the recommended method to staple on the inside of the board you need to check the website insulation he bought . That's why they have the tabs on the side to the insulation to unfold and staple on the studs. To better cut use a serrated knife like a bread knife. Razor blades good Dole quickly
excellent video. Just what I was looking for.

Do you need a ridge vent with a metal roof?
Very helpful. Thanks 👍👍

Great information, thanks
You are welcome.
Doesn’t the front and back screened vent account for the air movement needed to avoid the moisture and mold damage?
Yeah, it's just not as efficient. You can make it better by adding a small exhaust fan
Aren't the vents for ventilation?
Where did you get the baffles that you used for air gaps from?
Homedepot
Do you have Tyvek/building wrap around the shed? Or just insulation and cladding?
This old shed had no tyvek, I only added insulation.
@@EverydayShed nice one, I'm in the same situation! Did you experience and damp or was it all good?
Amazing
Ooh! Thank you so much!!!
What did you end up doing to cover your holes that you cut? Do they make a nice grate like soffit vent that can over lay those holes to hide them?
I am thinking a grate of some kind. What do you think ?
Get screen door screen, trim and staple over the holes.
My shed roof is metal overlaid on each other it’s a 30 or 25 year warranty. What do you suggest I do for the parts of you being on the roof for removing the shingles
They do make roof vents for metal roofs, similar procedure.
My beams are metal. What insulation should I use?
That is a great idea for a future video... Thank you.
I read that a Damp Proof Membrane should be installed on walls before your insulation. Can anyone advise please? Many thanks
Damp proof always goes on the warm side, damp open always on the cold side.

Many thanks for this. Very helpful.
Your ventilation system looks impressive. How would you use this on a prnt shed? Thanks
Its a temporally fan, i plan to add an AC system to the shed, stay tuned .
I would like to know that as well
RIP circular saw
lol ... definitely needs new blades after this.
This comment popped up right before it fell 😂😂😂😂

Yes! you will need a air to flow from the sides up to the roof.
To prevent wasps & bugs staple bug screen over those holes !
Yes!
Anyone else see the circular saw haha
RIP SAW
Yes! Definitely recommend new blades after this.
@@EverydayShed I was talking about the fall lol
5:55 poor saw

Big gap on top of batts, rookie.
Yup! we need to keep it as tight as possible. Thanks for watching.
