Right this is my 1 and only plan that I "was" intending to do...... gonna cost me £44 as I begrudge paying more than this on a council garage and if its anymore I may as well buy a waterproof cover....

I have a well ventilated garage with no electricity and it too far from my house to get electric to.... It has a corogated steel roof thats new and doesn't leak. It has 4 wooden beams running from side to side that are approx 6" x 4" thus giving me a 6" gap between roof and wood if I put a 2nd inner roof skin up. The actual roof measures 17" long x 8'6" wide so I was intending to use 4 x 8' x 4' wooden sheets up so it'fd give a 6" gap either end and a 3" gap side to side for "breathing", now between the outer metal roof and inner wooden roof I was going to insulate with loft insulation.... Now my question is will this be of any benefit or just a waste of £44 and I might as well give up and buy a waterproof cover


If it were my own garage on the side of my house I'd fully insulate it, run some electricity in there and get some sort of heater to keep the old girl warm....
