I have a smallish corner of our barn that is my designated shop/garden area. My husband and I have long called it the Funk Room because it was the repository of miscellaneous extra concrete runs and has a very lopsided rough floor. I don't mind the funkiness. The walls are just the back side of old barn siding, laid side by side but without any battens, so it is pretty drafty. I get a lot of mail order, and have lots of broken down cardboard. I thought I would staple these to the back of the barn siding and then cover that with something, leaving the studs exposed. It's all pretty old wood and/or rough cut so I'd like to preserve the barn-character. Any thoughts on what to go over the cardboard (which is mainly a draft blocker) - I'm considering burlap, canvas, upholstery fabric, 1/4" door skins, ? ? ? Insulating is not a real issue, we are in a temperate area and I don't spend much time out there in the winter.
