I have made a timber shed which i want to insulate should the vapor barrier go on the out side or inside if needed at all and what thickness should i use. Also should i do the roof as well or just walls. Thank you.

Where are you located?

In the South, the vapor barrier always goes on the exterior, pp.6: http://www.buildingscience.com/docu.../rr-9302-humidity-control-in-the-humid-south/

I'm not familiar with your climate/code, check with your local building department.
