For more information on the benefits of insulation, take a look at the Federal Government's Your Home website.\r\rFor sheds installed outside make sure they are not touching any surfaces such as another building's exterior wall, trees or fences.

a shed is a relatively big project, and it can be very daunting for many people. However, with some basic hand tools like a circular saw and skills, anyone can do the job of cladding sheds in no time at all. Remember to wear safety gear to protect yourself. \r\rThe first step when cladding garden buildings should be to choose between siding and sheeting. Siding comes in different wood colours and has little visual impact while sheeting gives your shed a more modern visual appeal. When choosing shed siding, make sure you take into consideration your climate as some types of timber cladding might warp or rot away faster than others. Warping can make fixing groove cladding quite difficult. The wood pieces may also not properly fall in line, depending on how you have built your wooden shed.\r\rThe next step will be to choose how you want to attach the siding or sheeting. Depending on your choice of building material, you might either use nails, screws or both. Nails are usually used for lightweight timber. Screws are better at holding heavy weight wood in place on the timber frame.\r\rUpon choosing your siding type and preparation of wood surfaces, you can move on to fixing cladding. Most likely you will need help from a friend when installing larger sections but even small pieces such as windows can be done by yourself if needed. If cladding does not fit correctly you can use a pry bar to remove and adjust accordingly.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"Installing cladding to a shed","text":"When installing your cladding to the four walls of your new shed you will need to ensure that joints are properly cut and that edges fit tightly together. This will ensure easy installation and proper weatherproofing of the shed.\r\rTongue and groove cladding helps achieve this. One edge, the tongue, slides into the groove of the adjacent board. This groove fitting is not perfectly attainable with overlap cladding. However, overlap cladding is cost effective and easy to install.\r\rUsually garden shed material is softwood timber. Some people also prefer using decking boards because they are thick, but these require more fixing work and can be expensive. The most common timber cladding is the shiplap and the feather edge. The feather edge is often cheaper than shiplap which has a better finish and a more contemporary look. Professionally fitted boards overlap well protecting the boards from elements.\r\rInstalling sheeting usually involves nailing or screwing 2x4 pressure treated wood on top of each side of the wall and then attaching the siding to it using nails or screws according to choice. Nails should be hammered 6-8 inches apart while screws should be spaced every twelve inches for maximum rigidity. \r\rShould you choose plywood sheets for shed cladding, adhesive can also be used between them and the wall surface. You can put additional wood supports at lower levels if needed. \r\rInsulated walls greatly improve the energy efficiency of a structure. Walls that are too thin will transfer all the warmth to colder exterior walls and reduce your comfort. Insulation comes in two main types, fibreglass and cellulose. Fibreglass insulation is a better choice if you don't need a special vapour barrier or fire resistance for your structure.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"What type of shed cladding should I choose?","text":"There are two main types of cladding, sheeting and siding. When choosing to install siding you will have to consider your climate and budget. A lot of people tend to choose wood based treated timber panels for their sheds because they are most visually appealing and easy to paint. If you live in a cold area you might want to look into more modern alternatives such as vinyl or metal sheets which come with added insulation properties.\r\rWhen purchasing cladding boards, get clarification on thickness. This is because, before the boards are planed they will be thicker. Therefore enquire about the final thickness after planning is done on the boards. The amount of board required will depend on the total wall area less the window and door space. \r\rCellulose insulation is a great budget-friendly alternative to fibreglass. It's made of recycled paper and has the ability to keep heat in but let it escape through thin walls under pressure. The best part about cellulose is that it's non-flammable, unlike fibreglass which can be combustible in the worst case scenario. \r\rSheeting, on the other hand, comes with its own problems as well as benefits. Vinyl and aluminium sheets for example are very lightweight but they also come at a premium price over wood planks. On the other hand metal, especially steel, offers excellent durability and fire resistance (unless you're installing galvanised steel). These features, along with additional insulation properties make metal sheeting an ideal choice.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"Can you clad a shed with plywood?","text":"Plywood is a great building material for sheds.

If this continues unchecked over a long period of time then not only will it cause staining and discolouration but also you run the risk that acid from the mould itself could start etching into the stone's surface which would weaken it. \r\rMould is usually present in dark patches that look like discolouration.\r\rIf you want to clean the mould and algae from your sandstone paving then the first step is to ensure that your sandstone tiles are not regularly getting wet and damp underneath. Sandstone has a porous nature, and a permeable sandstone patio surface will allow water to drain through easily and can help prevent moisture problems, as well as helping to avoid problems such as black mould which loves a high level of moisture. You may also find that there is a risk of some sandstone tiles lifting if the earth beneath them stays constantly wet over a long period of time. If tiles are lifting from the ground, touch the bottom of the pavers or the earth below to see if it is damp or wet.\r\rClean off any loose debris like leaf litter and other vegetation on sandstone pavers before starting work on cleaning the mould and algae - do this with just water and a soft brush. Using harsher chemical is a good way to damage the surface of your sandstone paving.\r\rThe next step in cleaning black mould is to scrub it clean with a dilute solution of vinegar or soda crystals - this solution will kill off much of the mould, leaving just discolouration on areas where there has been a lot of growth. To do so, mix equal parts of vinegar/soda crystals with water. If it's not effective you can add another part of vinegar to the mixture. Keep adding one part vinegar and testing until you're satisfied with the solution.\r\rOnce you have rubbed off any remaining patches or areas of mould and algae clean, wipe away any remaining solution with a mop, soft cloth, or towel. You should be able to make out faint outlines where the damage was done - these are usually quite dark and greasy looking because they are stained by dirt rather than being discoloured limestone itself. If you cannot clean such a stain completely then using a penetrating sealer to seal it in. These types of sealers might reduce stain visibility over time. Additionally, the sealer will also help protect your sandstone from other types of damage, and increase the longevity of the sandstone.

Once you have it looking great, give the pool fence a quick go-over.\r\rDo not try cleaning the natural stone around pools with anything too harsh or acidic because this could cause damage, removing the colouring and etching into the surface of your sandstone pavers.
