Yes, improve the insulation. I have a smaller pole garage that I'm insulating with Roxul mineral wool batts. More expensive than fiberglass but the mineral wool retains its insulation properties if it gets wet and it will not support critters living in it. It also has great acoustic isolation...

My pole barn has a 10 foot ceiling. Are there any downsides to using four tube T8 High Bay Fluorescents at this 10 ft height? Old guys need more light.:)

Here are the best pics I have of the 36 x 28 garage with 2/3 attic trusses and 1/3 scissor trusses. The scissor trusses provides the room for a lift

Interesting thread. This weekend, I'm taking my '66 On a couple hour road trip to its new home The garage is a work in progress on the inside so I'm getting great ideas from the other contributors to this and a lot of other threads:)

Thanks for the response -- the space is 23' x 12' with a 10' ceiling height.
