That’s kind of the direction I am leaning. I’m going to buy them off of Amazon so if I’m not happy with the cheaper one I can easily return it and try the other one. Unless someone says the more spendy Cadet is worth the extra money.

Yes I stated in my OP the situation was not ideal but it is what it is. I’m trying to find the best solution possible given the limitations in provided.

I have searched the forum and scroured the internet but have been unable to find a decisive answer. I have a 24x40 insulated pole barn I am attempting to heat as best as I can. Due to many reasons my only heating option is electric and I am limited to a 20 amp circuit. I realize this is not...

I’m going to do the same thing. I’m sure it’s not as efficient as a traditional ceiling but I also don’t want to lose the space between the bottom of the trusses and the roof. It’s very convient to have the extra ceiling height to turn around long boards and work on tall projects. I have...

I used pocket holes to add bookshelf girts and then ran r19 batts horizontally between the posts. My shop is also pole barn construction and is a similar size. I’ll try and post a picture of the insulation installed later

I agree. I briefly considered traditional framing in between the posts but adding the book shelf girts is cheaper and considerably less work.

It really didn’t take that long to drill the pocket holes and the strength achieved was worth the time and effort in my opinion.

I attached them using two pocket hole screws at each end and about a dozen along the length of the board. They are rock solid and don’t budge at all. As far as venting goes on the ceiling I’m not sure there is any at all. I’ll take a closer look and post a picture of the ceiling.

Yes I did put them 24 OC as that’s where the existing girts were already located. I would like to just insulate the eaves of the ceiling and leave the trusses open if possible because it allows me more room to maunever oversized items.

Last year I had a 24x40 pole barn built on my property about 30 miles west of Portland, OR. It was the first pole barn I have had built and the builder did not present the option of bookshelf girts at the time it was constructed. When I decided to start finishing the interior I chose to add...

They have been on there for the last couple months.

I have seen this off and on for the last couple weeks or longer on Craigslist. I don't think he has budged on the price.

Is JH Williams made in the USA? I know Williams is but i was under the impression that JH Williams was different and was Snap On's industrial brand which was made over seas. Is the COO the difference between JH Williams and Williams as far as them both being Snap On's industrial line?

Just picked one up in the Portland, Oregon area and they were USA made.

Have the Craftsman and am happy with it for less than 75 bucks out the door.
