2. Do the framing, insulation and drywall. The framing of your space can be handled with just some basic 2-by-4 or 2-by-6 walls. Either works, but a thicker wall will allow for thicker insulation, which means you'll have a more controlled environment. Once your walls are up, I highly suggest using a spray-foam insulation. Spray foam is both an insulator and a vapor barrier — essential for your cellar.
If you choose not to go with spray-foam insulation, it's a little more complicated.
You're going to want to use a 6-millimeter poly moisture barrier on the outside of all the framed walls. If you can’t apply it to the outside because of the space's configuration, then simply wrap it in, out and around all of the studs. You want your insulation, not the poly, to be on the inside of the poly barrier. Then, using green board (mold- and mildew-resistant drywall), board the interior of the cellar.
