Anyone know how this is done? I just built a chimney and now need to seal it to the metal roof on my pole barn but since the metal roof is not flat like shingles, it seems like it's going to be tough. BTW, the chimney is on the eve end. I was not able to put it on the gable end. Any ideas?

hey all, I have my 30X40X12 built and insulated and I'm ready to sheet it with OSB. The problem is pioneer took the cheap way out on attaching the trusses to the poles! On the inside of the pole instead of using lag bolts they nailed the truss over the pole and then to get extra support the...

As the title says I built a 30X40X12 in PA and installed the tubing for floor heat in the slab. The ceiling will be R-30 and the walls will be R-23. The floor is R-10. (2) 10X10 garage doors, 1 man door, and 2 windows. I'm getting about 12k BTU with a minimum temp of 0F and IDT of 60F...

This may not be completely garage related but I know there are lots of heating experts on here so I figured I'd ask. I just put tubing and unsulation for radiant floor heating in my garage and am wondering if I should do a staple-up installation in my house?? It's a 1200 sq ft ranch with an...

Im working on prepping for my garage floor that is scheduled to be poured on Friday. I need to know: How do I insulate the sides of the building? Should the foam be level with the top of the skirt board? The guy doing my concrete said I should have the concrete right up against the skirt...

Ok so I ordered my kit from blue ridge and got the stapler as well. My pad should only be 4-5" thick so they said it really wouldn't make a difference whether I pulled it up or stapled it to the floor. My questions are: 1- Has anyone on here who stapled the tubing to the foam had any...

What's the concensus on installing pex in a slab on grade for a pole barn? I think having the tubing in the center of the slab will obviously be better for heat transfer but by how much? I found a preview of a good book on this but the page I needed wasn't included. Is the ease of...

I need gutters for my metal pole building (30' X 40') and I'm wondering what the best route is. I priced everything in vinyl from the box stores and it came out to be about $4.28 lf with 3 X 4 downspouts!! That seems a little crazy to me. Also, I wonder about the quality. Would I get a...

Hi all, I have a 30' X 40' X 12' pole building and am looking to pour the concrete floor soon so I'm starting to think about how to design my radiant floor heat system I plan on installing. I know next to nothing about these systems so I'm wondering where to start? I'm thinking I need 4...

Looking to put up a ceiling in my pole building garage and struggling budget-wise. The metal like the outside would be almost $2k just for materials and $600 for labor!! That's about 15% of what my building cost! I would use the tuff-r foam board but my trusses are on 4ft centers, not 2 so...

I'm looking to insulate my 30X40 pole barn garage and am wondering whether fiberglass rolls or blown fiberglass would insulate better?

I just got my garage built, 30X40X12 with 4/12 trusses and the metal roof is sweating! I have overhangs all around with a full ridge vent. I was thinking this would be enough ventilation to keep it from sweating but I guess not. I only have stone on the floor (no concrete yet) so there's no...

Hi, I'm new to this site but have been looking around here and the rest of the internet for a while now but still have not nailed down the best way to insulate a pole barn with metal roof and siding. I'm having 30' X 40' X 12' one built next week by pioneer and would like to know what the...

My wife and I bought our house last year. It's a small ranch with a walkout basement on a relatively flat lot. The lot is actually (2) 1/2 acre lots. I'm looking at having a pole building built this year and I talked to a couple contractors but was looking for some advice on size. Right now...
