I use Tri-Flow. It’s a oil silicone mix. Rattle ball in the spray can to mix. Put it on everything but the cables and cable rollers. Also works very well on bike chains. Small can goes a long way.

If you use Rain x washer fluid it work nice. It also has a somewhat lasting residual effect should you run out and use just some basic washer fluid. I really do like the RainX washer fluid!!

Norther MI here on all sand. Did 6x6” post on 60” deep 2’x2’x2’ pads and a slab floor. Put 2” foam 2” down around exterior of floor slab. Cut thin control joints in wire reinforced slab. Entire building is 30’D x 60’W x 12’ T. We did 2x6” interior wall studding for 24” batt insulation. the...

My shop area of pole building has a 12’ wall, 5/12 pitch roof, and 3/12 scissor truss ceiling inside. The shop floor is 24x30’. The scissor truss gained me an additional approx. 36” of ceiling height in the center which easily allows me to raise my 1/2 ton PU full up on a 4 post lift. Really...

10’x 4”= inches gained over a flat 8’ ceiling. 40” gained. Does not include adjust for truss eave portion, only inside of building. 4/12 = 4” rise every 12” run

I like 5/8ths plywood for roofing. More stable, strong deck. Plywood when exposed to water goes back to original shape when dry, no swelling. Tolerates construction delays well. Always had synthetic underpayment put on after decking laid to prevent a wet deck, also helps snow slide off...

I have 18' and a 10' on the pole barn. A 18' and 12" would be great. A 10' door keeps you on alert goin in and out. Same goes for using 16' doors, just a little tight for a 2 car garage, 18' is so much better.

Skip the 16' door and go straight to the 18". You'll never have a regret!!!!! Also go 8' tall with you 18' door and high rise tracks for the door to tuck it to the ceiling when raised.

I built a 30'x60' pole building with 12' walls (Note photo). On one end I sectioned off a 24'x30' shop room. I used trusses for the ceiling, however on the shop end I used scissor trusses. The other 36'x30' of the building i used standard trusses. The exterior roof pitch is 5/12. Over the shop...

Thanks jdunn01. Really appreciate the info!!! Will order the M5 soon.

Thanks all for the great replies! Anyone got a photo or model number of a PoE Injector I could use? Thx

How far can a Ethernet line be run? Also a question about PoE. So you only run a Ethernet wire from your house router to the Nano M5 which gives the M5 its power and signal?? Also at the other end (receiving end) you just connect the router there to the M5 with a Ethernet wire? I’m kinda new to...

Thanks Jdunn01! Can you install the sending antenna in the garage at your house, or does it also have to be outside? I may look into your setup, but also tempted to run a ethernet line up there. Just not sure how far I could run before losing the house signal. I would be connecting to the...

All good info. I tried the power line option from house to pole barn (180’) with no joy. Also tried the WiFi repeater type route, no joy there. Next I was thinking of possibly doing a Ethernet line from house router to barn (220’). Any ideas? I like what the original poster put out there but I’m...

26’w x 30’ deep. 18’x8’ single insulated door. 5’ wide curb walk area in front of cars along house wall to allow entry and wide enough for fridge and freezer. Can even walk in front of chest freezer and still stay on walkway. Easily fits two Silverado’s Ext Cab with room to open doors and drop...

With a 16’ wall I would skip the 2x4” and go with 2x6”. The 2x4” will make a very flimsy wall even after you put the wall sheathing (OSB, drywall etc) on it. Most wall over 10’ with 2x4” do t fair well. As a minimum go with 2x6” the cost really isn’t much more. Rock wool is a good idea. What...

Front Point 3/4G system w/monitoring. $40/mo

As mentioned above is correct. In my case I run the vac on one box and the table saw on another box. Same goes for the compressor on one and the moveable lighting on another. My boxes are on staggered 20 amp lines. Never short of power here. My boxes are spaced 6’ apart with 6 boxes on each...

Plugs every 6' on staggered circuits. Three way switches for lights. Insulated garage doors for work areas. Couple of 220v outlets(compressor and lift). 24' deep apron out front so you can park a truck on it and walk around and unload without gettin off the cement, also great for washing...

That's right. It also creates a cathedral ceiling which gives a little more headroom than a standard truss/flat ceiling.
