Right now I have a lot of OLD OLD cedar shingles that where left outside from ~13 years ago the ones that are not rotten are getting stacked up for kindling on one side. Then we are going to stack as much wood as we can fit in there with the space remaining. Since its the first year we will be...

Yeah a wood splitter is not on the list of things to get when we can, sure would save the back some!

Mike is your moisture blanket a vapor barrier as well? Wanting to confirm that you do indeed have 2 vapor barriers and the system is working with out issues. 2 places have said I would be fine doing that as We are not adding much in vapor to the building but I want to be sure of that before...

So here is the Wood Shed with roof and a wall and even some firewood. Man it takes a lot longer to chop wood then I imagined it would! Looking good though I do think!

"If you're gonna do something, do it right the first time" "righty tighty lefty loosey" "It doesn't cost anything to want!" "if it was easy anyone could do it"

Also the building will be heated... Kept above freezing ~50 when not in use then heated when in use. I suspect it will get used more often then not but not necessarily 5 days a week for 8 hours more a few hour a day half of the week. We have a wood stove in the room that CRANKS out the...

Do you know if the vinyl skin is perforated or not? I looks really good! Also what are the layers from your metal roof down? Curious if you had a moisture blanket as well?

Krodad What are your thoughts on adding in un-faced insulation between the purlins then doing as you say with EPS foam? This might give me the highest R value with out adding more vapor barriers. (I have a lot of F/Glass insulation at my disposal that Is new in the package from when the shop was...

Was just given this information from 3 insulation companies 2 places gave this advise with only one difference :: "We do these pole buildings all the time. The most practical and affordable way to insulate your ceiling is to leave the condensation blanket intact. DO NOT SLICE THE CONDENSATION...

OK, so I have been reading more... found this site :: http://www.suspenderbar.com/About-Suspender-Bar.html :: and it looks like they are doing the first idea where I would slit the current insulation blanket and add to it then put up a new vapor barrier ... The difference would be that I have...

http://blog.norsteelbuildings.ca/2012_12_01_archive.html Do you mean like this?

Do you like the spray foam? did you have to ad in venting?

I have a pole building with metal siding, wood framing. The ceiling/roof currently has 2" vinyl backed fiberglass blanket insulation. I want to increase the insulation value of the roof without putting in an actual ceiling if possible. I don't think my trusses are engineered for a ceiling. and...

Ok so I have come to a stand still when it comes to insulating the roof. Putting in a ceiling is just too low and I would have to use gable vents however one end would vent into the un-insulated part of the shop and I have a feeling that would cause more problems. If I could figure out how to...

10 x 16 10 ft tall! on the tallest side. Haven't gotten to finish it yet but if its not raining this weekend I hope to get the roof on! Then lots of chopping and splitting wood! :rocker:

Who here has a hot roof in their pole building? or cathedral ceiling... How did you do it? I am wanting to just ad insulation between my purlins and a vapor barrier but have gotten mixed reviews on this from professionals! a page back sows the roof. my Purlins are 2x6

lots of Epoxy .... craft stores would have a HUGE selection of glue for this sort of stuff

Well its been something we planned to do for a while now and this last weekend we actually started to build it! Its gonna be bigger then I planned on mostly in height! Can't wait for it to be done. We are using a lot of materials we had laying around and the roof will be metal siding we had...

and its got a standard "Common Truss" and Do not plan on having any AC its not even a standard thing for houses around here. So just heat! There are no Eaves so can't add soffit vents unfortunately.

I have a pole barn with metal siding and am turning a portion of it into an office. The roof currently consists of: Metal > Condensation blanket (vinyl backed fiberglass insulation ~2 or less in thickness) > Purlins ... NO VENTILATION aside from closure strips missing so there is a small...
