Will the 1x4s spaced 24" OC be sufficient to hold up the light fixtures, etc?

Well, the designs call for 2x4 joists, 24" OC between the trusses which are 8' OC. So joists connected perpendicular to the trusses. It is a Wick building and I've got a copy of all the design and engineering diagrams. The real question is: How best to lay out the floor joists while planning...

I've got a 24 x 32 pole building with storage trusses spaced 8' OC. I need to install 2 x 4 joists 24" OC perpendicular to the trusses. I want to install a metal ceiling, use blown in insulation, and have the joists covered in plywood for storage. I'm considering installing the 2 x 4 joists...

Now in Tonganoxie.

My trusses that are 8' OC. I would like to install the metal ceiling with blown-in insulation. I plan to frame in attic stairs and would like to have plenty of fluorescent light fixtures. What other framing would be needed to support the ceiling along with the light fixtures?

I should have posted this in the electrical forum. Would the moderator please move to the correct forum. Thanks.

I've recently had a 24x32 pole barn built and am in the process of planning my electrical runs. Here is the building layout: I've got the walls framed out even with the interior faces of the posts and will insulate with R19 and cover with OSB. Will screw in the OSB so that I can take it down...

Would you mind elaborating on this? I'm trying to picture a "hat shaped stand-off." My apologies if this should be obvious but I'm just not seeing it.

Quick question. I need to mount a quick-disconnect to the exterior of my pole building. It's big enough that it won't sit in a flat spot on the metal. How do you mount it securely over the top of the metal ridges?

MTW, Thanks. Just what I was looking for. :thumbup:

Thanks for the input. I'm really interested in understanding the best method to seal up the hole in the metal siding once I run the romex to the back side of the quick connect. I believe I can use NM-B for the run since the path of the wire will all be inside until it exits the building...

I'm in the process of installing a mini-split (ductless) AC in my pole building. Unit is rated at 18.5 amps total so I'll be installing a 2-pole, 20A, 240V circuit breaker in the panel and using 12/2 NM-B romex to get power to a 240V, 60A-rated quick disconnect within line of site of the...

It is a Wick building. Regards the trusses, I knew going in that I would need to do the joists connecting the trusses for the storage above. Know I can easily do this myself rather than paying. Entire truss is wood. Wick engineers call for 2x4 joists, 24" OC to complete the storage. Hope...

Getting ready to begin the inside walls and ceiling of my 24x32 pole building and want to get the sequence of install correct. I plan on doing a metal ceiling and OSB for the walls. Wall framing will be 24" OC, 10' tall, and outside face flush with the poles. For the ceiling I have storage...

I purchased a wall model Hale pet door ( http://www.halepetdoor.com/products/6 ) for installing on my new pole building. I'm looking for a recommended way to install this in consideration of the ribs in the metal siding? I want it to be weather tight around the frame. The interior of the...

Anyone put up aluminum fence around their garage/shop/home? Would appreciate any recommendations regarding good web-order companies to deal with. Looking for a good deal on a quality product. Thanks.

Gas line for heat?

If you wouldn't mind saying, what company did you go with and what was the estimated cost for just the building (without all the site prep)? I'm getting ready to go through the same decision cycle and am researching companies (Morton and QSI stand out at the moment) but don't have the grade...

Just to add on to the disscussion, when we purchased ours, we went with a refurbished Kinetico unit through a local authorized dealer. To be honest, I don't know how anyone would be able to tell a difference between our refurb and a new one - it looked completely brand new. Believe me, with...
