Hi Jamie
We recently had a small leak in our house roof. The builder commented that our plastic felt wasn’t used any more due to condensation problems.
I think wherever you put an impermeable barrier there is the possibility of condensation. On a summerhouse I built some years ago I used “building paper” behind the joists, simple glass fibre loft insulation between and match board internal lining. Had no condensation problems.
It’s all down to dew points which is perhaps a bit complex for a simple shed. I’d avoid bubble wrap if I were you as it doesn’t provide a huge amount of insulation and provides an impermeable surface against which condensation can form.
Cheers
Howard
