Lining steel-framed studio with Gyprock and OSB

[DIYgals]

We have finally finished lining our studio (a steel framed shed) We settled on using OSB on the ceiling and walls in the main living area, and Gyprock sheeting in on the end walls and in the bathroom! We are thrilled with the result! Still have a few finishing touches to do, but nearly there.

Hi @DIYgals

Was there a particular reason you chose to use OSB boards? It looks beautiful, will you be putting a clear protective coating on it or leaving it to age? It's all coming together and looking wonderful. 

Please keep us updated with your progress, we look forward to seeing the entire project finished.

Thanks @EricL ,

There were a few reasons we went with OSB, it's cheap, it goes up relatively quick, as well as not feeling overly confident flushing Gyprock on the ceiling we were a little concerned that with the shed having a steel frame the gyprock joints might crack with the movement of the steel with the change in temperature throughout the day/night. 

We have put a clear coat for a bit of protection, unfortunately nothing we put on it will stop the timber from yellowing with time.

@DIYgals I might be 4 years too late. Are you still active on Bunnings Workshop? I'd love to ask some questions about this project. 

I am trying to convert a shed into an office space but don't have the skills to do it all myself and didn't want to just throw money at the problem. So I am looking for unconventional ways to make the space accommodating, and i like what you have done with some of your projects.

Thanks. Andrew here.

Hello @nightsmithjones (Andrew)

Let me tag @DIYgals to make them aware of your questions. In order for our members to get a better idea of your sheds condition, would it be possible for you to post a few photos of what it looks like inside? Once we see what it looks like, we'll be able to provide recommendations that you can possibly do yourself.
