How big is the shed?
For insulation:
I've seen people put wooden beams from floor to the ceiling and using the rolls of insulation (like rock woll), then covering it up with ply.
To find where gaps are to stop rain, you need to find the gaps. Again, I've seen people use those flea/insect smoke bomb things. They set them in the shed and look for where the smoke is escaping outside. Added bonus, no flea/insects. |

"There’s more to think about then just the insulation if you are going to use it as a studio, you also need a vapour barrier or else you’ll be riddled with mold and damp after a while. "
I have vapour barrier too |

Insulated panels on the inside and ceiling, although if it's not waterproof you'll need to address that first. You can buy the panels or make them yourself, if the shed is a basic shape it shouldn't cost too much and will be easily heated. |

Just completed an outdoor office project, converted a 20 foot shipping container into an office with toilet and shower, bought everything off Donedeal over the last 6 months, including the t&g sheet used to clad the exterior. I recommend YouTube for ideas and you get to learn a lot from it.
Good luck with your project |
