I just had 6"gutters installed on my 36x48 shop. Metal roof, and draining to all four corners with 2-50 foot runs. I was told, and i've read that 32' was as long of a gutter run you should have while only draining to one side due to the angle they need to drain properly. I've got to believe...

Installed my 8500 on my shop door 3 years ago, same set up as you are looking for. Works great so far.

I wanted to put one in my pole barn, but my insurance agent said it was a big no-no. There's a lot in there that would need replaced, and it wasn't worth the risk of no coverage.

I have killed Ivy by cutting down as low as possible and then painting Crossbow or Roundup on the root with a cheap brush. These were nearly as big as my forearm. Yours sounds like they are fairly small/thin?

You're building was done the same way as mine. If I remember correctly, the foil is also a heat reflector for the metal roof.

Cool find! I was looking through my dads old tools just last weekend (he was a carpenter back in the 60's and 70's) I found 2 canvas rolls of these while trying to find a large spade bit. The second bag was full of the adjustable bits. I couldn't figure out what tool would drive them...now...

Wow, I had that same NFL game. Never made any sense, but it was fun lol.

I built 4 of them last year. Picked up cedar bed 'kits' from ACE. I added doug fir 4x4 for the corners to get it belt high. Bought some 1x6 cedar boards to make the bottom with a vertical 2x4 for support. I also lined the bottom and sides with some left over landscaping fabric. They worked...

When I built my pole barn, my kit came with rolls of the bubble barrier. Silver on one side and white on the other. Silver side facing the metal, and adhesive strips on the side to stick together. It's been up for 2.5 years, and looks great. The only issue we had installing it was the wind...

I bought my kit from Hanson, and it came with Simpson LU26 hangers.

I've been doing this ^ ^ for years.

When I had the electrical done in my shop, the only 2 things that was required was that all wires regardless of height had to be 2.5" away from the inside face of all framing. This was to prevent what someone stated earlier about not hitting/damaging wires with shovels, hammers etc. Also, that...

Could these be for the metal above any doors you have?

I've got about 6 inches on either side of my shop door. I back my crew cab in from an angle using the saw cuts in the floor as a guide. Pulling out is simple. As Duckface said, once you do it a few times it's pretty routine. I don't even turn the lights on at night when backing in. The...

Both for me. I "finished" my 36X48 shop two years ago and i'm just now getting my 3 door aprons poured. I knew I was doing that myself, so I wasn't in a hurry. Like most people on here, i'll never be finished working ON it. My son uses it for his woodworking, and I've been rebuilding my...
