    Ceiling Strapping for Pole Barn Ceiling

    Tough part about contacting the truss manufacturer is I don't know who they are and I can never get a return call from the people who built the pole barn for the previous owners :( I even contacted them about closing in the one "car port" side and some additional work, maybe $10K worth. They...

    Ceiling Strapping for Pole Barn Ceiling

    So I don't want to hijack the thread, but my questions seems applicable; I'm working on my walls now installing studs on a 2' center for batting and OSB. Then I'll move to the ceiling. Should I run 2x4's perpendicular to the bottom of the trusses and then attaching OSB or corrugated metal sheets...

    Covert from sliding door to a larger overhead door?

    I recently bought a house that has a pole barn on the property. It's a decent size but the problem is the center section has a sliding door set on one side. If I have my boat in there behind the slider I can't get to the other half without pulling the boat out, put the car in and then put the...

    Larger LED Lights?

    I know everyone recommends switching to LEDS, but my question is does anyone used any larger model fixtures? The shop at the house I just bought has these big lights that take about 2 minutes to power up. I want to get lights and fans in before I start looking at insulation options.

    Hello From Phoenix

    Greetings, you have a great site here, lots of good info. I've been out in Phoenix for 34 years but I'm retiring 5/1/18. My wife was promoted but it requires a relocation back to the NE corner of West Virginia panhandle. So we've been looking for a place with a little land that has a shop or I...

    Heating For An Existing Pole Barn?

    I did speak with the original builder and he said they probably could get rid of the sliding door. I'm not sure if I could get two doors in there or one big one. I'll have to do some measurements when I get back east.

    Heating For An Existing Pole Barn?

    Spaying the gel-coat is always a concern. What I typically do is warm the garage up to about 70 and then turn the portable heater off and remove it from the room before spraying. I let the mold sit for an hour or two before turning the heater back on. In this case I may have to look at some kind...

    Heating For An Existing Pole Barn?

    So since the two sides I want to heat are separated, I'd need two hanging units and one tank outside? Can you control these setups with a thermostat. I might sound dumb with these questions now that I'm moving to WV, but 34 years in Phoenix, heat has never been something we had to add to our...

    Heating For An Existing Pole Barn?

    We should be closing on a home in Berkeley Springs, WV next month. It has an existing ~30 x 50 pole barn with power and the concrete floor already poured in 2 of the 3 sections. My plan is to use the larger center section to store my boat and maybe a car. The side to the right with the garage...
