Yes, the shepherd’s hut is built using modern timber frame house techniques, and can be used all year round. The 75mm / 3″ timber frame is completely sheathed in structural OSB 2, wrapped in breather membrane, insulated with British Thermafleece sheep’s wool, and lined with vapour barrier which contributes to a comfortable, warm and dry environment. The internal wall lining is very stable V grooved sheet material, achieving the look of traditional match-boarding with no knots or shrinkage.  It takes paint extremely well. Like with many things there are lots of magic ingredients that go into the hut build that makes it a cut above the rest.
