ok thanks! no de humidifier!

Matt-Thanks for your 2 cents. ALL of the advice and help is HUGE to us! We would have a ceiling with r30 I believe blown in insulation and a vapor barrier. We will have a metal liner on the ceiling as well. There will be soffit and ridge vents as well. I agree on the fan piece and appreciate...

Thanks for the info Lonnie....It would be a radiant heat I think from LP tank on the outside Showkey- was just advised on pole building for the height I am doing with 18ft sidewalls? MagKarl-Is your building insulated and if so how? just curious... I currently have 1 ft overhangs on the entire...

STM- With how your describing it even if insulated the metal liner on the inside of the building will still be cold im sure during the cold months since it wont be heated 24/7. When I do heat it on certain days then wont the liner of the building bead up with moisture then? Do I just run a...

Still trying to learn as much as I can before we sign our contract to build our pole barn/GYM. It is still clear as mud to me what final plans we should do in our build. Long story short IF we heat I think it will be situational heating to add to the comfort for a day. My thought is wouldnt...

Do you think I would need to install a moisture/vapor barrier to it as well? Thanks!

Thanks STM! I will prioritize them to insulate and finish the ceiling as part of the initial build. I think our code requires that if we use spray foam it must be covered due to risk of fire? I believe that is why I was looking at rolled bat. If I do hold off on insulation on the walls for...

Thanks for your 2 cents Matt. I need the input from people that know more! if I do your method of heating do you think I should insulate and line the ceiling? Just my thought would be doing that with the use of a big fan on the ceiling may be wise. Of course with the walls uninsulated there...

I am very thankful for this forum as we all have our strengths and weaknesses and building/construction is NOT one of mine. I have searched the forum and tried to learn as much as I can but some things are still clear as mud to me. Eastern Iowa new build of 40X56X18 pole barn. Basic function...
