Hahahaha now it all makes sense. They only give a 1 year warranty also. It all adds up.

This is exactly how this particular company builds their sheds. I have seen more of them in person, at their sales lot. The company is called "Superior Sheds" and I just can't figure out what the superior part is.

Here’s a couple pics of the outside to give an idea of what I’m working with.

Bought a house in the Fort Myers FL area at the beginning of the year and there's a 24x14 shed here that I want to use as a workshop. From what I have seen so far, this shed is built about as cheap as you can get while still meeting building code requirements. The aluminum roof panels are laid...

The roof is the same as the siding. I believe it’s all painted aluminum. They should have built this thing with the slats running vertically on the roof, not horizontally but that’s what makes it cheap I guess. I was planning on hosing the wood with some bleach where there’s obvious water...

Thanks for the replies. I'm starting to wonder if I should even bother with any type of insulation. It gets pretty hot inside in the Florida sun, and I want to use it as a work shop for various projects, but will have to see if it's worth spray foaming. There is definitely some moisture...

Totally missed the question posted here. But this shed is a pretty basic 2x4 frame shed with metal roof and siding. No vented soffits.

That's an option, but I would like to keep the cost down. I'm not sure this shed is worthy of paying the money for spray foam.

What is a good method to insulate a 12x24 metal shed? It seems like some rock wool type of insulation will be good since it fights moisture pretty well. Should I also add some type of a radiant barrier to help reflect and keep heat out (like this stuff...

It is mind boggling that they run the metal horizontally on the roof. You can definitely see water stains on a lot of the rafters. I'm actually going to call the company who sells these sheds and ask them about their warranty, just to see what they say.

Is mineral wool similar to a product called Rockwool? Can you provide an example?

I actually have the original State of Florida state compliance certification. It was screwed into a stud, so apparently it was good enough back in 2016 when it was built. When you say "rigid insulation sheets" are you talking about those foam insulation boards? I was thinking for the top...

New to the forum. Thanks for having me. Looking for some advice on how to make this shed into a decent workshop. Bought a house in SW Florida and there is a 24x14 shed from Superior Sheds in my yard, which was a nice bonus since I like to work on my vehicles and a lot of DIY projects. From...
