Advice on Shed Wall Section

    Hi there,
    I'm about to build a wooden shed in my garden and I'd just like some opinions on my proposed construction method in the attached sketch.
    In particular I'm wondering about:
    1. Does the foil on the kingspan go towards the inside or the outside?
    2. Am I right in thinking that I need a gap between the kingspan and the exterior cladding?
    3. Am I putting the damp proofing in the right place

    I'll probably slab the shed internally with that hardwall / kingspan sheeting stuff.

    Any other comments appreciated.

    I would run with the 100x50 studs, with fibreglass insulation in the space between the studs.
    Then a layer of breathable felt on the outside, and 10mm OSB then a batten of ~20mm then the shiplap, fixed horizontally to the battens.

    Lol, sorry the shiplap should have been horizontal of course. An earlier design I was looking at used vertical cladding boards butted with smaller boards covering the join.
    I'd be ok with packing the fibreglass right up to the breathable felt I guess?
    I might investigate sheeps wool or similar for a more eco friendly approach.
    Thanks.
