How to Install Insulation | DIY Faced Insulation | Shed Build Part 13 

Shed that I'm about to install insulation on tomorrow doesnt have wrap either, so now I'm worried. Mostly insulating to cool it during hot humid summers.

Thank you. It took about 7 or 8 months but I only worked on it evenings and weekends.

No, I didn't have a problem with that.

Correct, there's no passive airflow into/out of the building. I may add an electric vent in the future, but I'm not sure I need it.

Each roll has a square footage per roll marked in the packaging. I calculated the square footage of my walls and ceiling and then subtracted the square footage of my windows and door. That final number told me how many square feet I would need and I went and bought that many rolls.

Home Depot also has a calculator on their site

In the range of 7 to 8 thousand dollars total.

The process of insulating a shed, or any structure for that matter, is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Different methods might work better for different circumstances, depending on the specifics of the project and the person undertaking it. While the commenter has made some valid points about the importance of correctly installing insulation and ensuring that the flaps on the sides are used as intended, it's also important to remember that there can be some room for flexibility. According to a guide from HomeTips, while stapling the flaps to the studs is a common method, the tabs can also be tucked into the stud cavity if preferred [^1^]. As for the wiring issue, it's generally recommended to place wiring in a way that doesn't interfere with the insulation. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that the wiring will be inaccessible once the wall is covered. In fact, according to a guide from the Family Handyman, wiring can often be run over the top of wall insulation [^2^]. Despite these minor discrepancies, it seems like the overall work on the shed was executed beautifully. The result, as the commenter themselves have noted, has been a well-insulated space that retains heat effectively and has garnered compliments for its appearance. This speaks volumes about the quality of the workmanship, even if some aspects of the installation were not done in the 'traditional' manner. At the end of the day, what matters most is that the shed is effectively insulated and serves its purpose well. It's also worth noting that installers, despite not living in the spaces they insulate, are professionals who have honed their skills through experience and are likely well-versed in the nuances of insulation installation.
