Check out Better Life Technologies. They have a roll out mat that looks decent. Also, no gaps for water to seep in. Much easier to clean than the snap lock tiles.

This is for a pole barn and not a stick-built structure - correct? If so, the price appears reasonable to me.

We built 2 years ago. I wish that I had thought this out better. I did get the builder to go to 12' ceilings, but didn't think about length or depth. I think that we have a standard sized 3 car garage. It measures approximately 30' wide by 22' deep. This gives me about 10' of width per...

Are your walls framed with 2x4 or 2x6 lumber? My builder told me that for 12' walls, I needed 2x6, which increased the materials cost quite a bit.

What really stands out to me is that the walls were anchored to a concrete slab that was only 4" or so thick without having footers poured for extra support. Sticking wood posts in the ground has also kept me from going the pole barn route, but I figured that I could always anchor them to the...

Fill them with water to the level you want and then run the blade just above the water.

Fewer doors= fewer openers and tracks. With single doors you might be able to have more space between cars Single doors= narrower openings. Depending on whether you have a straight shot or have to make a turn to get into the garage (side entry), you might appreciate the wider space that a...

Have you considered solar tubes for your skylights? They don't need a direct run to get the light into the building, so you can easily work around your trusses.

I have been thinking through the same thing. I figure that you want at least 13 feet of width per car (5 feet wide plus 4 feet either side of it to open doors without hitting another car or storage cabinets). For 3 cars, that would be 39 feet, but I would round that to 40. For depth, 30 feet...

Make sure you plan where you want your interior lights so that the skylights are not in the way. Natural light is nice, but you will want plenty of the electrical kind as well.

Re: Shelf girts Wouldn't the 2x6 laid flat tend to sag if used to support any cabinets? It seems like vertical studs would be much stronger than horizontal girts. It seems that those finishing pole barns on the inside go ahead and frame out walls, which seems like extra materials cost over...

Re: Shelf girts This really makes it look like it would be difficult to hang cabinets with the 2x boards between the posts being sideways

I am building a new house with a 3-bay garage. I have my pre-wiring walk through on Tuesday and need to show the electrician where to place the outlet for a planned lift. I have a 12 foot ceiling and have 2 220V outlets included in my specs (1 for the lift and 1 for a compressor). For those...

Worked for me just now.

Can I ask about what it costs to put up a building like that? We are looking to buy a 5 acre lot and build a house and workshop. I'm trying to figure out what to budget for the shop. I have a good idea on the house as I have seen a few and know about what I will have to pay per SF out in the...

He must have something buried there that he doesn't want anyone to find. I am following this thread because I am in the process of finding that right piece of property here in Kentucky and I want to ensure that I have all of my bases covered prior to closing a deal. While acquiring a piece of...

I started at a side wall and cut the tiles to go around the door tracks.

Replacement cords and plug ends are available. Just make certain that you use the right guage of cord so that you don't overheat the cord or tool and create a hazard.
