    Intake Louver

    I installed a 24x24 exhaust fan in the peak of one of the gable ends of my 36x50 shop. I usually open a man door or overhead door to provide intake air when I turn it on. I'm thinking it would work better if I installed an intake louver on the other gable end to pull the air across the shop...

    Solar Lighting on Gated Entrance

    Also posted this to the General Forum, but quickly realized I should have placed it here. Has anyone ever used any type of solar lighting on their gated entrance?

    Gutters on Metal Siding

    Searched around for this topic and finally gave up, so here goes. When I built my shop I had no intentions of putting gutters on it. It is a 36'x50' pole barn with metal trusses and 2x6 wood purlins. Metal siding goes all the way up to the bottom side of the roof metal. Roof panels overhang the...

    Pole Barn Slab Edge

    I am getting ready to start my garage build that I have been envisioning in my head for the last 20 or so years. The 36x50 pole barn will go up next week. After the roof goes up, I get to DIY it. My question is, what slab edge details did you guys end up going with? I am familiar with the 2x2...
