I thought a garden chat and photo thread would be a good idea.
This way, we have a space to share current pictures and discuss dandelions and other plants.

Well, my dad said that in summer the structure provides some protection against heat; I would use 160mm (6.3 inches) insulation between the rafters. OSB for the interior is already in the house. I still need to get the insulation.

I can’t really follow that, but of course, you can do whatever you want. We’ve had our house for a while, and I wouldn’t even consider that. In summer, it will be just as warm inside as in any fancy garden shed (insulation also keeps heat inside the room), and in winter, cold—nothing more. To avoid that, you would basically have to build and insulate the entire thing like a residential building.
There’s no draft, it’s dry, and if needed, I can turn on a portable heater; you can even do that on the terrace.
What you want to prevent (waterlogging, moisture) can actually develop because of that. In contrast, a quasi open structure allows air to circulate well everywhere, preventing exactly that problem.

Okay, I’ll think it over again.

I don’t want to convince you or contradict your father. I just wanted to share my experience since I’ve built and use almost the same thing here.

I didn’t interpret it that way either. It’s always good to learn and consider other opinions ;-)

Hello,
does anyone have a recommendation for a grass seed mixture for a new lawn installation?
Are there any good professional suppliers, or are the common hardware store brands sufficient?
Thanks, GD

Unfortunately, I don’t have any personal experience. I only recall a grass seeding project here from @daniels87 (whom I haven’t seen for six years):

PS: check out my perfect lawn, which I only seeded in May. I’m so proud! :P
