    Pole Barn Overhang Questions

    I made my overhand 1' shorter on the front and back. This was done so that the corner trim can be continuous from the roof to the ground. It makes for an overall cleaner looking installation and gives the gutters a place to run from the roof straight to the ground.

    At what point is it overkill when insulating?

    I have a 30x60x14 pole barn. I insulated it with the help of a few friends. I used R19 Batt in the walls and blown fiberglass to R40 in the ceiling. It cost me just under $1800 dollars and 2 days worth of work.

    What is your “I wish I would have during your build...?

    I wish I would have supplied the man doors and windows and just had the builder install. The builder grade doors and windows drive me crazy everytime I am in my shop.

    I am going through all of this right now. I just built a 30x60 shop and installed a 100 amp panel. I thought I would be able to interconnect my solar to my shop, but was introduced to the 120% rule that has been mentioned. Also, our local utility wanted the solar disconnect adjacent to my...

    The Best Light Fixture Ever!

    I looked at these, but it appeared they could not be surface mounted without buying an additional bracket. Is this true?

    The Best Light Fixture Ever!

    Ya, that was my main concern as well, but I really like them. I bought them through Amazon so I figured I could return them if I did not like them. I also liked that they used the LED tubes instead of integrated LED's. I want to be able to replace components if I need to.

    30x60 pole barn build -

    I was able to get quite a bit more work done over the weekend. I trenched in all of my downspouts and drained them into the pond. I think trenched in 2" conduit for the feeder from my house to the shop. I then started pulling wire and doing some framing so I could put in junction boxes...
