A garden shed, garage or outbuilding built with sandwich panels<\/strong> goes up in just a few days, insulates against both cold and heat, and doesn’t require wet trades. The usual approach is a lightweight structure (steel or timber), roof panel on the roof and facade panel on the walls. Here’s which panel to use for each part, what sizes are typical, and what to check before you start. <\/p>\n

Which panel to use for each part<\/h2>\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Part<\/th>\nRecommended panel<\/th>\nWhy<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Roof of a shed, outbuilding or woodshed<\/td>\n3-rib roof panel<\/a>, 30 to 40 mm<\/td>\nIt’s the most affordable and easiest to install. The ribs add rigidity and drain water effectively. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Roof of a garage or porch attached to the house<\/td>\nTile-effect panel<\/a><\/td>\nFrom the outside it looks like a tiled roof and blends in with the house; on the inside it has a white finish.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Walls<\/td>\nFacade panel<\/a><\/td>\nSmooth surface or light ribbing, installed vertically or horizontally, with a finished look on both sides.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Interior with a wood look<\/td>\nWood-effect panel<\/a><\/td>\nFor garden sheds, studios or cabins where you want exposed wood on the inside.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
If budget is the top priority<\/td>\nIn-stock, clearance or discounted panel<\/a><\/td>\nFor small projects, leftover stock and second-quality panels work out cheaper.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
