    Big fan

    I have two of the 120" Home Depot fans in my 40x48 building. The fans are HVLS fans and rotate slowly even on high. They move air but you will not feel a down draft like a traditional ceiling fan. The light on the bottom is fairly dim and would not be sufficient to light a shop of your size...

    Advise on Concrete Sealers USA PS100

    It seems fine has not had much more than water on it and it still beads up like in the pictures...Very easy to apply just apply to the point of rejection. I ended up putting two coats on the interior. It works better with machine troweled than hand trowled concrete. I had to put three coats...

    Pole barn vs metal carport garage

    Another option which is only slightly more expensive than laminated is to look into Green Posts the posts are laminated and treated to .60cca, the buried portion (I believe 1st 6 feet of post) is then coated with bitumen (tar) and then the post is wrapped in a very heavy liner (which is heat...

    Advise on Concrete Sealers USA PS100

    It went on easy, low odor but i did have all my doors and windows open. It only took about couple of hours to complete 2000 sq ft. Water resistance seems good, don't know about oil yet. I did have some leftover and put on a second coat. You can see the before and after...I think it was even...

    Seal/coat new concrete?

    If going with a clear sealer I would use either PS100 by Concrete Sealers USA or Ghost Shield 8510. I personally decided on PS100 and I am very happy with it so far.

    Concrete work.....Does this seem normal?

    Concrete work.....Does this seem normal?

    Thanks, I did not have much to compare it to except my attached garage which seemed to be more refined. I don't think it would be worth messing around with it. It is only in a couple of small areas and it is going to be a workspace not a museum. Just wanted to see if those with more...

    New Pole Barn Construction is this normal (pics attached)?

    I saw some of the windows installed and I know they were installed before the siding. Maybe it is just the window itself.

    Butyl Tape on Skirt Board for Additional Protection

    I have house wrap on the building, so I think I am in good shape as far as keeping the pressure treated lumber away from the metal. There are also these Skirt Board protector but I am not completely sold. I can potentially see these causing problems if water were to infiltrate...
