Question

Can I use OSB instead of drywall on the walls in the garage and garden shed?

Answer 1

If the garage is attached to the house, then no.I assume the shed isn't, so you can.

You must, in most places, use 5/8 sheetrock which is firecode.You can then put OSB over the sheetrock if you want.

Answer 2

It depends on where you live.

Local building codes may specify  interior walls to be certain materials as part of a fire protection system.

Answer 3

Use whatever you want.

Its your stuff!

Answer 4

Drywall acts as a fire stop.Besides osb would look yuk and catches allot of dirt.Check your building code.

Good Luck
