The unfortunate thing about these sheds is the fact they always put the doors centrally, whereas if they were offset. it would be a lot easier to prevent draughts and dust getting in!
Don't forget doors and windows (and the floor) may also need insulating and it might be an idea to ensure you have more than enough powerpoints before insulating as trying to remember where the wiring goes could be a problem later.

Yep, definitely insulate. I'll be building my own timber framed shed from scratch and will put the door near to a corner. As for wiring, I'll be having all wiring in plastic conduit on the internal walls, so that it's easy to get at and no danger of drilling or screwing/nailing through it... been there, done that.
To help stop draughts and insects I'll be cladding mine with fc sheeting. It's quick and easy and can be painted to keep it looking good.

I've only seen corrugated fc sheeting before but assume you can get flat sheets?
Hugh
It's probably called something else over there, but here it's just plain old fibre cement as opposed to the old asbestos cement. Quick and easy to fix with clouts (nails)
