    Who's using a mini split in youz shop?

    |Yes, just the straps. My contractor did it at build time, but after everything else was done. This is my third shop and the first one with the added roof insulation. It really helps in Texas.

    Who's using a mini split in youz shop?

    Do yourself a favor, first double the roof insulation. It makes a huge difference in this area. I had an extra 8 inches strapped inside my roof. Then add AC. I used MrCool, did it myself, and I'm very happy with it. Mine is 30x40x12 and 36k was overkill.

    Who's using a mini split in youz shop?

    I have a 36k MrCool. 30x40x12 shop. I would absolutely do it again. The first couple of days it ran it pulled gallons of moisture out of the shop. The inverter units should all dehumidify well since they can run lower speeds as needed.

    200 will do everything you need. Have him move the 100 amp panel to the barn or shop as a sub. You already have all the breakers you need I bet.

    Have the frame wrapped with standard metal building roll fiberglass insulation before putting the metal on, then go inside and strap additional insulation on the ceiling. We get most of our heat through the roof.

    Seems like a nightmare to pack up an entire garage. When is the last time you moved (your entire tools & garage) ?

    I moved my entire shop about 8 years ago. I used a 16' utility trailer and an engine hoist. Heaviest piece was about 2000 pounds, total weight was about 40,000-50,000 pounds. The move was a little over 100 miles, so I could make multiple round trips. For toolboxes and drawer benches, I just...

    Any red iron building owners change to a cold formed?

    It depends on what you expect of the building. My 30x40x12 red iron building is engineered with a 20x30 clear span loft over the back half, and a 1 ton I-beam houst on a trolley. Red iron can give you more options.
