Yea, thats what I am going to do probably. Just curious if there is actually a reason people secure framing to the steel or is it just to save space. Can't see why you would need to other than adjusting the size of the building to fit your floor plan thanks for your response

Have been told that I need to attach the wood framing to the girts on the inside. One company is trying to sell me a beefed up steel building so there will be little to no deflection, so sheetrock doesnt crack. Had another person say dont do it, not neccessary to buy beefed structure. Just...

I have a few things to say. I will keep it short....So, as a previous Mac Distributor for 15 years I do have some experience! It did start off slow in the beginning and of course wondered at times what I got myself into. After about 2 to 3 years things started to pick-up. I did see a lot of...

Thanks for all the input! I am getting closer to construction and have to make a decision soon. I don't mind stick building it myself but trying to weigh all options and see what works best for us. The square tubing design is tempting due to cost and wind rated to 140mph. I could get the red...

I am looking at 30x40 building. Two 10' or 12' doors, one on each gable end and a walk through door. I have a concrete contractor to do the slab and was thinking about buying the rediron kit for a 30x40 and erecting it myself. I can purchase this kit (bolt together) for about 13K. Wind rated for...

I am wanting to build a garage and debating on a wood structure or metal building. In trying to make a decision, metal buildings are fabricated from the I Beam or a Square tubing frame. Can someone comment on pros or cons of square tubing or I Beam construction for metal buildings. Living on the...

Well, here is 1/2 of my project! Its a laundry facility and bathroom. Finished the laundry room today and it is still drying. My first coat was a little dry. I believe it was because I didn't roll it on wet enough not knowing how far the material would go. I mixed in the aspergrit from ghost...

What is your opinion with the ultra fine grit mixed in with the top coat? Is there enough there for some gripping action on the floor or should have been broadcast in the second coat instead of mixed. Or maybe bigger grit? Looks amazing. I am doing the same thing right now. Just curious

Thank you for your responses. I have read directions for the aspergrit from ghostshield and read a lot about encapsulating the material as well. But, being small material, that makes a little better sense in top coat. Ya, just cant go back and redo it that easy so that's why I was asking. I have...

Any advice on grit for anti-slip in first coat and encapsulate with the second of urethane clear? Or broadcast in second coat?

So, I have decided to go with Iso-Tek 8100 as a sealer with 2 coats. Then top that with 2 coats of WEAR-TEK 4400 Urethane from Ghostshield. I am reading different application instructions and looking for some clarification please. For the sealer application I am suppose to apply both coats...

So, your suggesting epoxy coating by itself with no polyurethane top coat? There actually is a small obscure window in the shower area. Probably not enough light to effect the epoxy. I have always been under the impression I needed a polyurethane top coat. Sounds like something that will work...

Any advice or comments with epoxy on a shower floor? Recommended or should I just stick with tile? I am thinking tile would be safest but like the look of epoxy. Will polyurethane top coat hold up to the water? thanks, Kevin

I have contacted two different Sherwin stores and well not much help there. Product knowledge is lacking and the stores I called. I read good things about Sherwin Williams and a local Epoxy company uses them as well. I did call Armorpoxy and got a few questions answered. Have been told it is not...

I am new to the forum and mainly been reading and trying to get educated on what direction to go with a new project I have going. My wife and I built an RV park and are finishing up our first building which is to be a Bathhouse. In the bathhouse of course on one half of it, it will have a full...
