Seems to be a lot of pole barn interior finishing going on. Me too. Looking at 4' wide r19 fiberglass rolls. I called my local lumber yard and asked about 4' r19 unfaced rolls price. He told me $1.12/SF. I thought that was about twice the going price per SF for 2' wide r-19 and said so...

I am in the process of finishing my new pole barn. I walked out of the man door a little bit ago, and a pile of snow fell on my head off the roof. Didn't hurt, but kinda pissed me off. I never had a pole barn with metal roof before. The sun was shining today. I guess it just loosened up the...

I am finishing a new 30 x 40 pole barn. It is a ways in the future, but I am thinking about attic insulation. Insulation will be blown-in R-38 cellulose. The trusses are on 4 foot centers. I know insulation stops are available for 2' o.c. trusses, but I can't find a stop for the 4' spacing...

I am planning the electrical system in my new pole barn. I'm pretty well there except for the GFCIs for ceiling receptacles for lights. The lights are 3 rows of (4) 8 foot, 75 watt LEDs on (3) 14/2 wire -15amp circuits. I have found an older thread on here discussing the subject. What I...

I am just about to start the electrical installation in my new pole barn. I have a few questions. When we built the house 5 years ago, we put in a 400-amp box just after the transformer. There is one 400 main breaker and two 200-amp secondary breakers. One side (200-amps) goes to the house...

I have a new 30x40 pole barn and will be pouring the slab before too long. I had planned on an un-reinforced 4" slab, but I am second guessing myself. I have a 12,000 lb. skidsteer. It has been sitting in my son's garage, which is a 28'x28' x4" slab, and is sawcut down the middle both ways...

The Amish erection crew has just finished my new 30x40x12 pole barn. My son and I will insulate and finish the interior. I want to use 2' o.c. vertical studs and r 19 roll insulation with OSB cover on the walls. The ceiling will be white metal liner panel and r 38 blow in insulation. Here's...

I am finally getting the building I have been wanting to build since before covid hit and disrupted my plans. Now that lumber prices have come down, I have contracted to have a 30x40x12 barn built. I am having the shell built, and I will finish the inside with the help of my son. I want to...

I am getting ready to build a new 30x40 building in the spring. I want two 10 foot wide OH doors in it. I have been trying to decide which wall it would be handiest to have the OH doors in, the 30 foot gable ends or the 40 foot side walls. I have drawn both scenarios to scale and moved little...
