Hi Gary,

Thanks for the very interesting link. BuildItSolar is a jewel.

You note that the "other Gary" has built an exceedingly robust timber structure. So the reduced costs of the lining must be partly compensated for by the more expensive support. It all depends on relative material costs whether this is worth the potential extra risk. Of course repair costs could be low, provided that you detect any leakage before you get water damage to timber and insulation, which may not be easy.

menaus2 seems to be trying to minimise costs for both liner and structure, whilst also using a water-susceptible insulation. Seems a bit risky.
