Thanks - great video. I'm thinking of doing similar with SIPs. Given British weather, where in your build design do you consider the structure weather proof? Do you need the cladding fitted to be water tight or is the breathable membrane enough to stop any damp. I suspect SIPs are more susceptible to getting wet than the OSB in yours? I'll also need advice from the SIPs folks as to whether I need any more support than the SIPs themselves for a roof.
potentially you could have one layer of battens if they are verticle and your cladding is horizontal. In my build the vertical battens allow you to run wires behind the horizontal battens and then cladding can be fixed vertically. I hope that makes sense

Top time-saving tip that sawing off of the horizontals at the end, saves tonnes of measurements
Yeah keep it simple mate ;)
Thanks for these videos, you've done a great job documenting and explaining - on a par with Ali Dymock for clarity. 👍👍
Thanks, glad it was helpful
Very good job
Thanks mate

The cladding is needed
What gauge dpm is that?
hi, where did you get the breathable membrane? Does it need to be added to the floor also?
I believe I got the membrane from Wickes. It was much better quality than the one at Screwfix. I didnt add it to the floor just walls and ceiling
Would one layer of battens either vertical or horizontal be sufficient?

Make sure you maintain a nice 25-50mm airgap behind cladding
Hi, what dimensions are the battons?
They are treated battens. 38x19mm
Whatever size battens you use, ensure they are treated obviously and ensure your airgap behind cladding is minimal 25mm, better for 50mm.
