Thanks for the tips in regards to the ground think it I will be leaving the way it is and just stick a Strummer through it every so often, as you never know what may happen in the future and may have to put it back to its original state.
Also think the same in regards to the wood panels plywood would probably be the best in the long run.
As for the bar and toilet they will be feature rooms of the kill House at the beginning with hopes of making them multipurpose in the near future although I would need to add some sort of roof.
As for roofs I was thinking clear pvc this way I do no need to worry about artificial lighting, although they may become noisy during high winds.
Thanks for the tips in regards to the toilets. ?

I would be half inclined to say no roof, which would give you all the light and the ability to put some cameras up on poles recording an overview. But then you're stuck with the weather.
Corrugated clear PVC will give a decent roof option, and allow light, you can still populate the place with cameras in rooms and corridors.
You can decide to have a slightly elevated roof (raised about a foot or so above the walls) giving plenty of ventilation, but would then want to allow wider coverage to stop rain going straight in.
This could have the disadvantage of making the roof into a wing in the wind if the frame holding it isn't solid enough.
A better fitted roof will make things more cosy ... and allow you more multi function use such as a man shed, private bar, kill house shooting gallery.
Obviously have the roof at some slope, and ideally drop a line of guttering along the back leading to a barrel - you then have green credentials harvesting the rain for the garden.
A possible alternative is one of the cheap pole gazebos for an instant roof. Either:
- set up the gazebo frame, build the kill house around the legs and put the roof on.
- or just set up the roof frame and mount it on top of the kill house.
A white roofed cheap pole gazebo will let in a good amount of light, potentially as much as clear if you take into account 'brightening' features of white.
I'll get some pics up of my mates hippy shack. This has gone through a couple of versions, originaly just decking between 2 brick sheds and a back wall, then a ramshackle built man shed which lasted many years until the tarpaulin roof took all the weight of snow during the beast from the east. It was then demolished and rebuilt in the summer - still thrown together but to a better standard with new rather than recycled decking and a few seconds more thought before whacking together some wood.
Some shots of the hippy shack and a long pole gazebo
(depending on your actual feet measurements one of these may be shorter and not necessarily worth the compromise)
These pole gazebos do normally end up with twisted poles, but you’ll have something more substantial protecting it
The first edition of the shack had a panelled lower half and an open upper half (summer house style) and tarp closing the upper half in 'weather' and winter.
This version has a mixture of panels or open, with heavy duty tarp and fronted by lattice.
The white mesh is a transparent heavy duty tarp with a white grid.
With the brick walls behind and on each side, complete with the heaftt struts this will cope with anything the weather will send it.
