I’m going with 2x6x10 and then 3/8” plywood over it. I’ll let everyone know how it turns out. I figure worst case I cut some foam and put a 2x4 behind them to add rigidity.

Thanks. It is probably one of the best decisions we made. Saves us a ton of time just walking to the barn to do a workout vs driving somewhere with 3 kids.

I was planning on going with 24” spacing and 2x6x10 across. Finished with play wood since I can get it at a good price. The extra 2” of foam is awesome.

If I used the 2x6s at the bottom, 5’ and towards the top and then 1/2” osb. Would this be strong enough to hang things on the wall? I’d like to have an area with hanging cabinets and then a place to hang some gym accessories.

Thank you for all the suggestions everyone. Not a big car guy, but I do love the gym. In all seriousness if I became a car guy I’d just build a second barn for them and make this one a full gym.

I like your thinking. It definitely needs to allow me to hang things on the wall. I’m not upset by the extra foam at all. It’s open cell and sealed great. Easy to heat and cool.

They are 10’ center to center.

New to the group and I’ve searched some, but couldn’t find anything quite like what I have. Looking to finish out the walls on the interior of the pole barn. Contractor ended up spraying 5” of foam instead of 3” so I am not able to frame normally unless I cut the foam. I would really...

That looks really good b-boy. Do you feel it does a good job holding temperature? This is somewhere we will be for a few hours everyday. My wife and I have jobs that require us to stay physically fit and our workout room is part of the barn. What did you use on the ceiling as this is where...

I apologize for being a neophyte on a lot of this stuff. I know with the foam you are basically just creating an envelope vs trying to achieve a high r-value. I hadn’t considered voiding a warranty or panel replacement when looking at the foam. Creating the “I” would be horizontally correct...

Is it possible to do this after it’s been foamed? The beams are 5.5” plus the 1.5” of the girts and we are doing 3” of open cell spray foam.

New member here. I have a 30x50 pole barn that will hold my tractor and also our workout room. We have a heat exchanger already and are planning to do a/c as well. The heat is provided by a wood boiler so it won’t cost much. I’m struggling with how to handle the insulation. We are going to...
