Same put them on a shed I build once worst thing I could have done they just increase the heat and discomfort if you happen to be working below them.

2 Sheets of tin are cheap indeed!!

With the Shed finishednow, all I need to do is get the power and lights done, (fridays plan) hook up the down pipes to the tank and stormwater,( tank is still a week away)
and then seal the floor inside with either a paint product or a clear sealer coat!!
Was told that as the inside floor is a smooth finish, just sealing it with clear will make it very slippery when wet!!
Any suggestions about a suitable product to use from anyone here would be great..
Even if you can tell me what NOT to use would be a help..
Cheers..
Happy Gaddy!!

i used a paving paint with a non slip boating type product put into the mix at the time of painting..its still slippery in thongs when wet but not to bad..do not paint the floor for at least 3 months after being laid as all the chemicals are still rising out and the paint will start lifting after a couple of years because of this...i know..

Gaddy,
If I was you I would go and see a decorative concrete supplies place. (South Coast Decorative Concrete Supplies are down your way) There are sealers that can be applied in around 28 days. You could also get it in colour. A light colour would be good to bounce light around, especially if you get rid of the skylights. They will also give you the run down on the non slip additives available. I think, stay away from the ground glass option as I think this will wear off with trolley jacks etc because it sits on top. There is one that you mix into the drum and its like a silicone powder. It looks like it would do nothing but it does.
I really wish I had of done this with my shed before I spilled oil and crap everywhere.

PS Shed is looking great!
