Based on the picture below, would I be better off going with a longer or shorter bracing? Note the shorter bracing will give me more of the 45 deg angle to the horizontal and vertical surfaces. Going with a longer bracing does not. Ive only got 20"x20" of weldable surfaces to play with. These...

Edit. I was able to source out some 7” square tubing yesterday. Bigger than what I need, yes. But for the price it was a no brainer. When I thought I came across some square tubing on marketplace, it turned out being sold. Original plan was to go with 5" square tubing, 1/4" walls for my...

Came across this SCH 40 tubing. I’m going to be building a gantry crane and I’m trying to decide if 5” SCH 40 tube is just as strong as 5” square tube assuming both have 1/4” walls? This would be the upright posts on both ends.

My neighbor had an idea that I may go with. Build “barn” doors to absorb the heat and shield the roll up door. This will easily create a 2-3” air gap between the barn door and roll up garage door. My door is 16x10 😳 I’ll probably have my buddy weld (2) 8x10 aluminum frames and I’ll attach...

I bought this 30” fan from northern tool. It moves a lot of air, 5500 CFM.

Just wanted you guys to see what you think about my idea or if there's a different approach that I could possibly take. Got the building spray foamed a few weeks ago and they gave me a lot more than what I paid for. I have approximately one to 2 inches of foam covering the upright post, and...

I don’t have the equipment to test the ohm reading so I’d rather be safe than sorry and spend 30 bucks on a little bit of copper wire, and a new ground rod

thanks!

Just recently found out that if your sub panel box for a detached metal garage has a certain amount of “ohms” you need a second ground rod. I saw where folks just install the second rod and don’t even try to get an ohm reading. With that being said, can you tie into the existing ground wire...

How big of an area are you cooling with this unit?

Do you have a problem with “short cycling” as I’ve read time and time again? I’ve seen jt can be an issue with a mini split that’s bigger than what’s needed?

What kind of insulation do you have in your building? I’m at 900 sf with spray foam

Does the output slow down when the unit gets closer to the set temperature? I’m guessing if there’s a 4°+ difference in temperature, then the “inverter” will blow on high speed?

30”. 5500 CFM. Building is 11000 cubic feet. Northern Tool.

I have this exhaust fan in my garage. It’ll turn over all the air in garage every 2 minutes. Over kill? Yes! But when I want fresh air I’m not Waiting 10,20 or 30 minutes.

They didn’t ask me about covering the rafters, and I honestly did not think about asking them about it. Right now it is what it is. Nothing I can do about it. I do have some options Going forward when I decide to put the metal siding up inside the building. As far as possibly having any voids...

About 2” over the uprights 😳😂

Yea you are the only one 😂
