That's not really a problem in a well insulated shed, Tom. My shed is around 10x10x8 and at floor level is right around 80F all the time, even on the coldest nights. Looks like they're putting in a 2x4 framework to hold the insulation.Heat rises. What is your plan to get the heat from the the upper areas down to the floor where it is needed?
What is the temperature at the top of your shed when the floor temp is 80?That's not really a problem in a well insulated shed, Tom.

The whole shed is 80F. Next time you're here during winter I can show youWhat is the temperature at the top of your shed when the floor temp is 80?
Coming on nicely. Can I borrow your hubby?View attachment 269282 View attachment 269283 More work done. Yes we are putting in a 2 x 4 frame which will hold the insulation. I am also insulating the top and there will be an additional air space in the top. The floor will be insulated too. I plan on running a small fan to circulat the heat around. I still have to put a few more 2 x 4s on the ceiling and floor. Back to the hardware store. So far the only thing I have had to buy was the screws and 12 2x4s. Insulation is next. I also figured a way to do radiantheated floor! Will exsplan that when the time comes. And yes, I silicone all the seams!
We are starting to put the electrical in now. Still have a few more boards to add, then insulation. Have to work on it when I can. Because lugging a 53 lb tort up and down stairs is a big pain!How's the shed progressing Cheryl?
Any updates?

I am using rolled insulation like you use in a house. I figure it is the best for holding in heat.Looking good. What type of insulation are you planning on using ?
The problem with that is if it ever gets wet it loses it's insulating value. Especially on the floor I would use a ridged insulation like urethane or Styrofoam.with a vapor barrier of either foil or poly.I am using rolled insulation like you use in a house.

I am using sheet insulation for the floor. I figured the rolled was only for the walls and ceiling. And I will be using a vapor barrier.
