Directly on the purlins.

Looks great, I have been trying to figure out how I want to do mine recently and this is a timely post for me. I assume that you have a metal roof and if so, is there any underlayment on the purlins? How are you handling the venting? My post...

So I'm somewhat back to square one with this. I would like to leave the ceiling open if at all possible between the trusses and I am looking at these. http://www.ecofoil.com/Applications/Pole-Barn-Roof-Insulation or...

Some guys I know have done it so I did it when I built my chicken coop. I don't see a difference in condensation or anything, but wanted to make sure that it would not be needed on a larger structure as I am approaching that building point. Looks like no Tyvek and a cold shop for now until I...

I get that, just kind of hoping there was a way to have an open ceiling for the added height between trusses.

Well, for now it would be as open to the gable end as the ridge vent would be and also the reasoning for my question. I am getting the feeling that I need to install a ceiling and insulate that in the future if I want to heat the building. If I am going to plan for that, gable end vents and...

No enclosed soffits, it will be open eaves, 24" overhang and bird blocks between the trusses.

I am aware of the heat rises and metal roofing creates condensation depending on environment. I am doing this project in stages and may not get to the insulation until next year, might install a ceiling down the road if I don't like the feel, etc. I guess I am asking, is there any reason to put...

I don't plan on putting in ceiling, it will be open through the trusses to the metal roof.

Thanks Chris, So I'm hearing roofing directly screwed to purlins, insulation between purlins on inside and then a vapor barrier on the warm side of the insulation and all good? Do I need to have a ridge vent? Would gable vents be a better option?

This is going to be my shop that will ultimately be fully finished and used for word/metal working, vehicle storage and repair and I will build a mezzanine between one of the bays for the wife's storage of holiday wares. It will be heated to work in mainly and I may heat it more depending on...

I had one of these in my 24x24 garage and now its in my work shed (we moved). Heated fine and has a built in thermostat and blower. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004BG81AK/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Hey guys, Finally got started on my build and I am finishing up the purlins. I am looking to sheet the roof in 26 gauge metal and thought I would insulate between the purlins and then finish off the warm side with a vapor barrier once the roofing is installed. Do I need to add anything like...

Anyone?

Morning, I am looking at ordering a set of plans from APB and am wondering if anyone has had any experience with them? I am looking at the 30' x 48' x 12' barn plans specifically. I am also curious if the plans are able to be modified? It shows that all plans are no overhang and I would like a...

Good work and I got $3794.00 with my math.

I am a big fan of Hobart or Miller welders, as I have had a small Handler for about 12 years now. It has never needed repair, and with proper technique and chamfering I can weld up to 1/4" steel.

This seems to be a more common practice now, and something I will be doing on my build as well. http://www.pole-barn.info/truss-connection-details.html

Don't know if this has been posted or not, but here is a 56" coupon for $699.99 good through the end of Jan. http://widgets.harborfreight.com/wswidgets/common/displayCoupon.do?hdr=mag&keycode=1002&week=5211&page=5211b_retail.html&cust=99999999999&campaign=b&hftref=cj

Mine works good for me as long as I'm patient when using tools that require a lot of volume. Had it for almost 5 years now.
