![]() My studs are 16″ apart so anything I wanted to put up would need to be 32″ wide, or small enough to hang on one nail. The downfall is that it won’t be as easy to hang pictures and other decor on the walls you would need to hit a stud which means that any heavy art work or shelves that you hang need to hit at least two studs. You could probably lift and install them yourself as they’re fairly lightweight. It’s cheaper to buy than plywood and easier to install than drywall you can just attach them to the studs using nails or screws. Many people opt for bead board or paneling for their walls. With dry times, the contractor may need to come back after a day or two, making it difficult for them to schedule other jobs in between. The expense is likely less due to the cost of the materials and more because it’s time consuming to install. Personally, we may hire out insulation and drywall we were quoted around $5000. ![]() You’ll also want drywall screws at $7 or thereabouts.Īfter drywalling, you need to prime and paint the walls. Drywall mud is $15 for a 4.5 gallon container. You’re also looking at buying drywall tape for the seams at $20 for a 100′ roll. With primer and paint, it’s also going to be relatively resistant to water damage, although not completely (if your shed floods, you’ll be in a load of trouble).ĭrywall panels are 4×8 and run $12.30-$15.72 right now. Drywall is made to withstand fire better than a wood product and it’s thick enough to provide stability for hanging pictures and shelves. I’m not confident about installing the drywall for the ceiling due to the weight, but my husband and I could probably do the walls together. It’s just time consuming and heavy to install. You’ll want to make sure you have plenty of ventilation and maybe some fans running too.ĭrywalling is really the best option. This option is best for someone who isn’t planning to store anything valuable inside their shed. I’ll talk about that in my post about shed insulation options. Some types of insulation won’t be as harsh to touch so you can possibly skip the drywall or drywall alternative. However, once you put a lot of time and money into updating a shed to use as a living space, using some type of insulation and walls is a necessity. ![]() You have ventilation and the expectation is that the shed won’t need to last forever. ![]() I do not recommend this option, but I have seen many people opt to skip drywalling or having any type of “wall” to their shed’s interior they also skip the insulation.
