Well, it’s too late now, because I already bought the door, and it’s being made. I do live in SC at the beach, so it’s hot in the summer. However, the sun doesn’t directly hit the door where it’s being placed, so I’m hoping that will help? Otherwise, I may need to find a solution to obscure the...

Ahhh. Ok. I think I’m confusing who is commenting which thing. Got it. Thanks.

You don’t think it would get super hot like yours? 😬😬😬

I love this idea! I definitely would like to avoid wood framing, if possible. This is a very good idea!

Oh my gosh. Ok, well that’s a little alarming. We ordered tempered clear glass (it’s not even frosted), but it’s not directly hit by the sun, so we were hoping it would be okay. Now I’m worried.

Excellent. I also did not opt for insulated glass. It was waaaaay out of our budget, as well. I’m so excited to see how it all turns out. :) Thanks for your replies.

Thank you so much! I’m so pumped!

Great to know! One more question…. Any problem with heat or cool escaping because of the glass?

Oooooh! And I just looked at the hay bale construction you suggested I search, and I do so love how the recessed windows look! I’m so freaking excited right now! Thank you for all of this info. I will be waiting with bated breath to learn more about those metal panels! If they don’t require all...

Oh. My. Gosh. I am 100% obsessed with this look! Ahhhh. Ok, tell me everything. Is there spray foam behind the metal sheets? Where do you find them? How are they attached to the building? Do they have to have a wooden frame built behind them to attach them to the building, or would they be able...

Hi! I know this is an old post but I was searching for posts that had “glass garage door” and ran across yours. I currently have a 12x12 glass garage door being built for my metal barn, and I am very nervous about it. Now that you have had yours for a while, do you still love it? Any pros and cons?

Oh and one more thing. If I don’t cover the spray foam, I can’t hang anything directly from the foam, right?

This is INCREDIBLY helpful info, and thank you for the photos. This answers another of my questions about leaving the spray foam exposed in the barn portion of the building. So that’s exactly what I’m going to do! One more question… is there a certain type of paint that has to be used?

That’s awesome! It’s so great to love where you live. I grew up in Myrtle (since I was 10 years old), so it’s home to me, but I miss the old Grand Strand so much. It’s changing so quickly. That’s one of the reasons we bought these two farm properties in Loris. At some point, I know it’s going to...

Well, hey neighbor! 😃 Yes, unfortunately, we are paying 6% on this property, rather than the 4% like on our primary residence, but to have a place to grow my own food and relax away from the crazy at the beach, it’s worth it. The zoning department was AWFUL our first time around with this whole...

Oh, very good to know about the other types of wood! I will check that out. Such great suggestions. I would honestly like to go all the way to the ceiling with the wood (on the two opposing walls with the fat posts), at least until they pass the loft area and into the back barn section of the...

Yes, yes, yes! I *think* this is part of the potential solution that I found on a video at around 4am this morning. If you get time, would you watch this video and see if this is similar to what you are referencing and what you had in mind?

I have been looking and looking and can’t seem to find anyone who has finished out a building like ours. I see lots of the red steel, but not a single building with the kind of posts we have. I looked at the website for the company who did our building, and they have nothing either. Maybe I will...

Thank you so much, once again, for all of the insight and advice. I am soaking it all in and taking notes (literally). Although it’s a bit overwhelming, I’m starting to get a picture in my head of how it all needs to flow. We are meeting with a builder friend of ours on Saturday, and we are...

Thanks for your reply. :) We won’t have a full 2nd story. Just an open loft over half of the space. We may occasionally stay there or friends/family may stay there, but for the most part, it will be a 1/2 recreation, 1/2 barn building. We have a 2 acre pond out there, and we built a dock, so...
