I know this is old post but this idea is gold. Thank you.

And that's foam board? Depending on the day that's basically my plan..but some days I feel richer than I actually am and I say I'm going to spray foam it

Hey guys, I've done alot of research on insulating metal buildings (carport style) but still undecided and don't want to make the wrong move and insulate wrong. So I'm building a 30x40x12 with vertical roof and most likely horizontal siding. Legs will be every 4' and will have 1 14x10 garage...

I was going to do the bubble wrap but it's mostly just a vapor barrier and the company building the garage wanted 5k to do the roof and walls and I can insulate with 2" foam board for less than that and it will actually be insulated.

In my research I've seen some guys use the foil faced foam board and turn the foil face both ways. I think it depends on if your planning more on heating or cooling. I haven't built yet but I have thought about once I get insulated wrapping the inside with tyvek before close my walls off.

Yea I've researched alot of post on here and I seen a few guys and (I'm sure your one of them) stress fhe 4' spacing.. my salesman ***** too but the company has good reviews so I hope the builders make up for it.. I was asking about footers and how long the wedge anchors they use are and he kept...

I appreciate it. It's been alot of work. It was completely grown up and you couldn't even see the creek a year ago.. good luck on your build and keep us updated

Congratulations. I signed my papers and deposit new years eve. I'm going 30x40 and really want a lean to on each side but my landscape is very challenging to.i have 5 acres but i live on hill and have a flood plain below me. This is what I started with and a couple pictures of moving the dirt. I...

Will do.

I don't doubt that at all.. must say I enjoy a good Osha violation tho

That's what I'm thinking.. I plan on insulating with foam board and it would probaly pay to go 4ft on center for that reason alone. By the time I cut 1' strips and all the extra taping I'll have to do on 5' centers

I will be the same. I'll be there during Install and if I see something I want corrected I'll speak up and it will be resolved right then. I plan on making the slab a couple Inches bigger all the way around and adding a 2x to the edge of the form to create a lip. That will set the post back from...

I think to go vertical siding on my building it will be an extra 1,000 or 1,200 bucks which isn't bad but I also wonder if it would be more beneficial to go with 4ft on center legs as I'm attaching 1x4s atleast every 2 feet to attach whatever I skin the walls with so that would take place of the...

30x40x12

I have gas heat so I will probaly have a gas wall heater but I doubt I try to cool it.
