I'd put plenty of air vents in and create an open from the membrane internally so it's completely open or it will sweat with condensation

Just because people put things on the internet doesn't mean they're right Danny. I thought this place would have taught you that if nothing else.

What he has done is pretty much what used to be done on the timber framed houses of a few years ago, and what led to many of the problems with them.
The timber he has used doesn't even look to be tanilised.

no mate as the gaps between the vertical battens acts as a cavity

1/ Screw the shed. Have you seen his bunker?
2/ I used to do timber frame from about '92-'05 - I didn't see anything that looked familiar apart from ply om 4x2 - what bit do you mean?
Tyvek housewrap. That’s the stuff. If it were my shed, (I’m doing mine in spring). I’m replacing one I built over 30 yrs ago!
I would build the timber frame, housewrap the outside, insulate between the studs, another layer of insulation laid the opposite way, batten, osb inside, batten and marine ply outside, then another membrane, then batten and then clad. Do the roof as well. Timber needs to breathe remember.

R&J's or Direct Building both sell cheaper breathable roofing membrane. I used it on my place.

What's the difference between the tyvek stuff and just breathable roofing membrane? I have looked at all the facts and can't see it

The difference is lots of £'s.
I predict a post on the shedbuilders forum...............”Hi guys......need some advice.....set about building a shed myself as I’m a talented guy and got some tools..........put the wrong membrane (against all advice) and now I’ve cocked it all up I need expert help to rectify or to apportion blame to anyone but me”......
Ringing any bells?
Pfft........

Its like £60 for the roofing stuff or £260 for the Tyvek stuff
I have not found any facts to support that there is any difference
Danny

yup thats what I figured....
I need to keep an eye on the £££s because I will be taking it down soon I think one way or another
