How to properly insulate your shed, Cabin, House or your Garage

[@johnleahy6527]

It’s actually a very well written and comprehensive book kzbin.infoUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 . I wanted to pair this with an updated book on local codes to start planning a post-retirement dream shop. I think I have just about everything I need between the two. The extra plans available for purchase towards the end are priced almost as much as full home plans, not little sheds however.

[@Goregasm913]

My father passed away in november of last year - we built a shed together years before that and never insulated it. I am going to make this a mission of mine to insulate my shed. I live in Kansas so we get hot hot summers and cold cold winters

[@r.t.8367]

Thanks for taking the time to post this. I'm getting ready to insulate and drywall our new shed. Great tip about the wiring. I can't believe you were doing this while it was 5 degrees!

[@killworgmr6200]

i'm really loving the idea of how you wire electrical wires through the insulation, i just want you to know even after 5 years people are still benefiting gaining positivity from your videos

[@carologwin1103]

Oh thank you for the tips. I am at this point with my shed. I never did insulation before. This is a great help. Have a nice day.

[@outdoorcrafter4578]

carol ogwin you’re welcome glad to be helpful

[@mariecorona09]

Thank you for a simple video. This helped a lot, coming from a mom who like to do things herself. Also I would like to add that the way you cut the insulation was a new way for me. The way you measured it while cutting. Thank you again. Please post your add on to shed.

[@cloudstrifeification]

One thing that will help you cut Roxul (rockwool) better than a razor knife is a new bread knife believe it or not! They make the cleanest cuts you can get on that type of insulation. You can get a cheat one for around $5 or less from dollar stores etc.

[@sircozzi4440]

Four years later still helping us Thanks man

[@aky280]

I enjoyed they way you and Thrift Diving installed your insulation. Nice and simple with and without wiring.

[@TroyJScott]

Thank you for the content. Liked and subbed. I’m starting on my detached garage here soon. This helped me understand the basics.

[@stevegeiner3986]

It’s actually really good stuff. Air will not got through like it will with fiberglass insulation. It also has a sound deadening property to it. Water won’t hurt it. It’s not as bad as regular fiberglass insulation as to itchy. I used it with sure close cell spray foam.

[@ryanhunter2730]

So you recommend to use the fibreglass for my garden shed.. I was advised to use fibreglass before sheeting in the inside with ply? Any help much appreciated

[@pfwindham]

What kind is this insulation ?

[@NyaanVegan]

Great attitude and video! Pleasant to watch.... :). Don't worry much about comments.... Some people went to youtube university, where they learned to be expert carpenters, doctors and architects....but only within the confines of complaining about homemade videos on the internet.

[@TeslaWorld]

Rockwool recommends you cut a line for the wires to go through. The fiberglass batts are the ones you open as you described.

[@tales_of_the_crypto1583]

Great tip about the vapor barrier from the bag! 👍🤗

[@Yz4Life]

Thanks man! Nice jacket btw!!

[@pgvandy1]

I appreciated your video.. just refreshing myself on stuff I know fairly well. I chose to read some of the comments below. Lots of morons on here complaining. Sorry people have to hear that when they are attempting to share info. I was embarrassed for them. Dont like it, move on & create your own channel. Bottom line I appreciate all views of construction, thats how we learn and create new questions or interest to research plus be able to pick and choose what works for me and my codes department. Thank you for your video. It was informative.

[@corvettetexan]

What actually holds the insulation in long term? I have seen other types that have stapled flanges.

[@spookytook]

Would the next step be wiring?

[@ctucker258]

That splitting the insulation is just extra. Just line it up, make a horizontal cut half way through, flip it around and press it in. The wire will tuck itself in the crack.

[@bobclarke2705]

informative thank you but what about condensation you havnt mentioned it and it and it could be a big problem .

[@redsresearch]

Dont you need baffles between osb/plywood wall and the insulation??

[@NaNana-ey6jk]

Do I cover the insulation with plastic sheeting or plywood to keep it from deteriating? How long does it last?

[@jeaninelondon1404]

I'm not a fella, but appreciate the refresher course for my 3rd building. 😉

[@snudge9626]

I used celotex on my garden cabin. Costs a bit more than rockwool but worth it.

[@deafoldgit]

i was always told not to use that type of insulation as after time it falls the the bottom! would like to see if its still in place after 6 months :-) thanks for sharing

[@tgk300xx4]

It should stay in place as it can’t fall because the stuff blow supports it.

[@catyyc2374]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@edwardmylnychuk5774]

for the wires, i just cut the bat where the wires were and then molded it to cover the wire, much simpler and you dont destroy or alter the batting.

[@Steve-rm2to]

Where does the condensation go?

[@CanonPaulHamilton]

What if water or condensation builds up on the wood? Does it not need coating in plastic?

[@bennunavut1697]

If it's a shed, he should've put a tyvek on first before putting up the plywood then put the insulation on behind it and put on the plastic inside the shed

[@rondawitt8492]

this is the type of insulation I want for my cabin everybody's telling me oh no don't use that kind of insulation have the spray foam and all this and that's not what I want I want this type I can do it myself and it's not expensive my cabin is only 10 x 16 why does everybody have to make things so complicated for a woman because she has her own mountain and her own cabin

[@featheredcoyote5477]

Do some quick KZbin research on the spray foam and how many folks have a hard time breathing even months after it's been sprayed. This material here is hands down the best insulation. We live off grid in northern Indiana where winters are frigid. We have 3 small shed outbuildings all insulated with this material and we have zero regret.

[@benredding7080]

Envy is a sin

[@adrianrodriguez-yx9uo]

I dont know and Im not saying which is the best way but dont forget that we live in a society where people would make your life and projects more complicated just for you to use their service and charge you more money.

[@deanlabayen]

I’m at this point in my shed . I didn’t know you should not pack insulation so tight. Thx for all tips even in comments.

[@andrewbratos6907]

great video, do mice eat it?squirrels?weasel s? thanks

[@sammcrae8892]

Weasels are carnivores, they want to eat the mice and such. Mice and other rodents will chew on, or through just about anything that is not metal or glass, but I don't think the rock wool would do them any good.

[@solo-repair9374]

Hope you got it all eventually insulated

[@darrenhughes8106]

Genius

[@joysutyla7307]

It is Roxul not fiberglass. It is made from rock. Not near as bad and itchy as fiberglass.

I am insulating my garage and I can't figure out what type of insulation that is. What is that tool he is using to cut it?

[@mick2166]

isn't the backing meant to be on the inside of the room being insulated as in other videos I've seen.

[@richardincm]

agreed, unless you want condensation to form inside the insulation, reducing its effectiveness. And remember to tape along the joints, between your sheets of plastic, to maintain the vapour-barrier.

[@gunsammodrones]

You are making that harder than it has to be...

[@brentroberts3536]

This guy is a total bot.

[@richardincm]

Given that both windows are fitted at the same height, you already knew that the section would need to be the same size, 36" once again. Ditto the height of the second sections, above the first full-size pieces, unless of course your whole wall isn't square ? !

[@sjosly2]

In my shed, I plan on covering the insulation with pegboard. I worry that if I use fiberglass, I will be inhaling the fiberglass. Maybe I should use denim or cotton ??

[@mysticblue3387]

Use the piink panther isolation and then cover them with plain or decorative plywood sheets I just did it to my moms shed

[@danielbuezo9910]

Exactly what is insulation for? Also after insulation what’s the next step before you get drywall?

[@outdoorcrafter4578]

Daniel Buezo Insulation is for keeping your place warm and the next step after that you could put vapour barrier over top and then you can get your drywall if you’d like hope that was helpful for you bud

[@featheredcoyote5477]

Plastic vapor barrier

Should had wire it first before putting those on the wall and those Cause mold

[@featheredcoyote5477]

[@desert1cop]

Why not cut a slit in the insulation and place the wire in it instead of splitting it,save some time and would be just as good

[@IamDog0]

What the hell is going on here?

[@RichardSmith-ic1zw]

He is installing the installation to keel the. Zombies out

[@ericwhite6890]

no matter what you use you need dead air space and a vapor barrier

[@paulnagy1546]

what's that mean ??

[@sammcrae8892]

What I'm trying to find out, is; exactly what order to put the various layers. For example from the outside sheathing do you put a vapor barrier in between the outside sheathing and the studs then insulate then put a vapor barrier such as plastic or such on the inside and then drywall or what? I need to insulate a shed wall that already has exterior sheathing on it, and I need to be able to finish it out so that it can be heated and air conditioned and will not build up moisture inside the wall and rot. Unfortunately this information seems to be very difficult to find. The best thing that I found so far is to go old school, and just go with dead airspace in between the exterior and the interior wall so that it can breathe and the heck with the insulation! Don't really want to go that route, but I can't seem to find out what to do everything nowadays uses tyvek and all this other stuff to completely seal the wall. If I was building from scratch I would put up the studs put on tar paper on the outside then insulate, and then sheetrock the interior, but I can't even find out if that will work.

Kudos for the Video clip! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts.

[@ricodunworth4829]

how much would it be to insulate a kids playhouse with a 2nd floor were you can put a bed?

[@outdoorcrafter4578]

rico dunworth well it’s simple depends if you’re just putting in enough room just for a bed . You would just have to put up a small ladder to get to the bed area . Not recommended for small children.......if you want more, like area to play that’s different, of course always cost more if you are creative you will figure something out and cost effective. But be safe

[@mikedkc]

This video could use some editing.

[@williamriley497]

Hmmm mask is on mask is off mask is on mask is off etc and you can see all the insulation fibres floating around the room in the sun light which you will be breathing in when not waring the mask when talking hmmmm damage is already being done and the mask should have been worn from start to finish then the room ventilated to expell any fibres floating in the air .

[@saxerphoner]

what about the ceiling???

And I dive into that stuff everyday There's a special binder inside of it that prevents itching, Sounds like to me you been getting the cheap stuff maybe you should try said pink insulation

Any particulate in your lungs is harmful mate. Repeated inhalation of particulates is gonna fuck up your lungs regardless of material.
