Hi, So I've been pounding through more threads. Here's what I see. Most everyone who asks sealed or not sealed gets encouraged to go sealed. Now sealed does not mean explosion proof and I question my odds here since there is no lit pilot in the first place. That said there are other advantages...

Hi Everyone, Well this is starting to get confusing again. To answer some questions. Garage is separate from the house and gas will enter through a conduit buried in the ground. I doubt any black pipe will be used at all. The run has to be 60ish feet. This is a natural gas hookup. So we have...

Thank you Lonstar. I was going to have some fans very similar to what you have from Northern tools. Mostly, though I was thinking air flow on hot days and not moving hot air around but could be both. I can fabricate and mount the unit. Vent is run out the back and you can see I have nothing but...

OK I think you guys validated my 75,000 BTU choice. Lonstar seems like it's really working for you. Two stage valve. OK. Now to find somebody to hook the thing up. My house contractor ---- too slow. Got a bid including unit from a local guy for $4500. Yeah right. Wes if you get this did you...

Hey Wes. Funny that is the exact company that told me I don't need the separate combustion model. But, like you, I am wondering about safety. Not enough of an expert to know what kind of risk I am at. I use a torch and weld on occasion. Now all of that would be with the garage doors open in the...

Hi, People on this site have been very helpful. I've read up a bunch and checked some other threads. Just want some feedback I guess to be sure. So, in PA. 32*36 with 10.5' ceiling and scissor trusses. So the volume is a bit hard to calculate but figured about 12,000 cubic feet. Two R17.5 10*10...

In the same boat as you. Was also considering epoxy-coat. Armorpoxy does a lot of posting on here and I think that speaks highly of the commitment he has to this industry and to his customers. Let us know what you decide and post results if you can. Thank you.

and this is why the man is the expert. Thank you so much. It will be a bit but I will post up pictures when it is done.

YES! Thank you so much. I am going to order that up. What a load off my mind. Care to comment on how you would best divide up the layout into zones?

Thanks for all the help. Yes I could switch up the orientation. This is your basic garage workshop. I do work on cars, some wood and metal work. I am trying to stick to a recommended color temp of 5000K and the 20 fixture layout as shown before. In addition the ceiling will be white tin and the...

rd65 Thanks. I've spent about an hour in a thread. That is where I learned of the visualizer and Platonic. I just don't have the time to go line by line through an 85 page thread. In the end I'm not going to be a lighting expert. Hence my post re: my specific situation. Now, Platonic recommends...

Hey guys. I could really use some help. Winter is coming and I have to get some basics in this garage. Your basic 32 X 36 pole barn. 4/12 scissor truss with a 2/12 interior chord. See my plans. 10.6 high and about 12.5 high at highest interior peek. I haven't finalized my work areas so we just...

If you do go that route let us know how they work. They look difficult to hardwire though.

Hi. Looks like a nice shop you got going there. This is 12' high correct? What are your plans for heat?

When I first looked at the pic on your signature I thought the doors where on the long side and I wondered how you got two cars back to back in 30'. The doors are on the short side correct? Is this a 10' high building? What are the door dimensions? Thanks.
