Slab poured last summer 4" thick. Treated w/ 4500 and 8510 Ghostshield (if that matters) Lip of the garage entry has 2 little chunks missing right by garage door, see photos. Driveway is gravel and snow is melting off (still freezing temps here) so the area is dirty in pics etc. Unsure how this...

This assumes the pole barn is detached from your home. Not talking an attached garage to a home. My insurance has a portion called "Coverage B - Other Structures" which the pole barns fall under and it lists a specific dollar value for the 'other structures'. Normal homeowners seems to cover...

Thanks. Had read this as a possible solution somewhere.....but not sold that it would work? Plus the cost.... One of the items I'm keeping in the back of mind though. Thanks.

Thanks. No, no panel of my profile anywhere near me which I found baffling as I'm not far from a major city. I have spent quite a bit of time combing the internet and placing calls. 9" pro rib, 29 gauge rules around this area, unsure why. Last summer I actually ordered samples of PBR panel...

+1 I want the snow to shed off....it makes sense. Last February there were a number of of pole barns in the area that collapsed due to the snow load. Mine did not (bought home early last Spring). I'd have to guess the snow guards on some local barns played into it as they keep all that snow up...

Thanks for pic, I see the idea. Will give some thought. I'd rather do something far simpler to implement of course (still researching obviously) Last summer I had to replace the deteriorated translucent ridge cap, which doesn't seem that severe, but any local building supplier didn't carry any...

Thanks. They do not make my roofing/siding profile anymore. 12" on center, 1" rib, 26 gauge. I have called (literally) across the country trying to locate any match. Anything now nearby is 29 gauge 9" on center pro-rib. At that, I pondered a 'lean to' under the existing overhang running the...

Thanks. Have done the roof rake on a portion of the barns over the garage doors. Its a ton of work. Having to do that to 2 separate barns after each snowfall, then clearing all that snow isn't a realistic goal. At that, one is so high you'd need to be on the roof to clear it. If you've ever...

Thanks but I didn't want this to sidetrack into a gutter thread. I have already seen most of those URLs years ago. Most of those parts listed require fasica to install gutters. I have installed gutter straps on part of the roof for a different problem (not snow related), it was a total PITA as...

Thanks, this was one of the potential solutions I thought about so glad to see I'm not alone in thinking along this line. I thought of cutting a few 4x8 sheets of plywood to accomplish the same thing, then they can easily stack away in the barn once snow is gone. This may be the simplest and...

Great so clarify how are you installing 40 feet of gutter on buildings with 6-8" overhang and no soffit or fascia?

Respectfully, please read the original post. Snow bars will not help as the snow will melt/drip causing the very issue I am describing due to the short overhang (in red in original post) Also, as original post states gutters are not an option. Thanks for replies but this is all referenced in...

older pole barns 30x40ish - unheated (but power) not finished nor insulated, 26 gauge 12" on center 1" rib siding and roof. No soffit/facia, 6-8" overhang on non-gable ends. Barns are 30-40 years old, just put in concrete last summer (gravel beforehand). 4/12 roof. Mainly cold stor age (cars...

Some of them at HD had really bad reviews. This one was fair. I used it to apply last week, it worked well. Buy some acetone to clean it after. They make a 3 gallon version too. https://www.homedepot.com/p/ECHO-2-Gal-Sprayer-MS200/303582164

The 8510 is unopened, leftover from my project. https://ghostshield.com/product/siloxa-tek-8510/ 4500 bottle is 2/3 full, dilute 3:1 with distilled water. I have 2 gallons of distilled to throw in too (unopened). Done spraying so no need for these anymore else I'd keep them! Can meet to do...

I sprayed 4500 last week and only did 1 pass, at that one of my slabs took a while to 'dry' or soak in. Everywhere I read stated strictly to not overapply so I was a bit apprehensive about putting too much on. I diluted too and have about 2/3 of a bottle of 4500 left (undiluted). Not sure what...

Note the 'Protects Against' row - 9500 is not for oil etc (automotive) This is why I went w/ the 8510, that and I live in the midwest (winter road salt and meltoff when vehicle parked in garage)

yikes, good to know. Do most just skip filling the control joints this way as a result? esp w/ the 8510 application? Not a deal breaker for me but....glad I asked. Would hate to spend $$ and have it coming off. I put the 4500 on yesterday, took 1 1/3 gallons (of actual 4500, I diluted w/...

ok, I have 4500/8510 in hand and am going to apply the 4500 tomorrow (slab is drying from washing off) My question- I plan to fill the control joints w/ Sikaflex self leveling sealant. How long after I apply the 8510 should I wait in order to apply this? 24 hours? 48? Thanks. Also, when...
