I'm also in Rochester and building my first pole barn this spring by myself. My plan for the edge insulation is to use the trenching machine I rent for running utilities to dig the slot to put the edge insulation in. Maybe you can use a machine and get real close to the posts with it and get it...

Good info there thanks. Since I'm going to run horizontal 2x4 on the inside of the walls after insulation so I have something to hang my OSB to, I will have a 1.5" open air gap between OSB and insulation. I'd be inclined to install the vapor barrier poly BEFORE the 2x4's and right against the...

84 Lumber carries 8' wide R19 batts and gave me a quote for the walls. It's a little more than 24" or 16" batts but I won't need to frame in with 2x4's so I'll save money there. I am going to run horizontal 2x4's before my OSB though, for strength and so I have solid studs for hanging cabinets...

I'm going to be running blown cellulose in the attic with vented soffits and a ridge vent. Steel ceiling panels, plastic vapor barrier on top of that attached to the bottom of the trusses, and then insulation. Its going to be a traditional pole barn wood structure with laminated posts in ground...

Great, good to know some others local who did the same with good results. I forgot to add that I'll be leaving a gap between the foam to fill with spray. What about a plastic vapor barrier on the walls? Should I use plastic between the foam board and steel siding or skip this since the foam will...

I'm planning the insulation on my spring build here in upstate NY and I'm getting different opinions on how to insulate with my chosen method of polyiso foam and fiberglass batts. I have some sheets of reclaimed 1" polyiso foam that will go between my outside girts underneath the steel, then 8'...

I would install the baffles at the eaves and bring up a few 2 x 12 boards to lay across your trusses to act as a scaffold.
