I am getting ready to install a 75k heater in my 40x40x12. The barn has 2 insulated 10x12 overhead doors, 1 service door and zero windows. I had tyvek put on the walls and roof before the metal went on. I installed R36 on the ceiling and R13 on the walls before I installed the metal on the...

Who makes the best blades? I usually buy Milwaukee blades but a buddy of mine gave me a fire/rescue blade and it was amazing. I can’t find them around me so I was curious what everyone uses and likes?

Ok I did a quick search and didn’t really find anything about creepers. I finally got my shop built and am starting to fill it. I’m looking for a good heavy duty creeper. My brother has a snap on and it’s amazing but I really don’t have/want to spend $300 for a creeper. If I have to I guess I...

I just built a 40 x 40 x12 pole barn with 2- 10 x 12 insulated doors and one metal service door. The front of the barn is laid out like this 2’ of wall then my service door then 3’ then a garage door then 4’ then another door then 4’ to the corner. The walls were wrapped in house wrap and...

So I'm about to send the down payment for my 40x40. I asked the builder to install house wrap on the walls before he installs the metal outside. He quoted me $900 for single bubble or $450 for tyvek. My question is which is better? I'm going to put up insulation and metal interior walls. I know...

I’m getting ready to start my barn and was curious about a few things when it comes to the metal inside. How did you install your electricity? I would like to keep this all hidden behind the metal but wasn’t sure on what to do about the electrical boxes. Did you just cut squares in the metal...

I have been talking to a few builders about a barn. I am looking at a 40x40x12 or a 48x36x12 with the 36 being the depth. I was under the impression that I should wrap the walls in some type of house wrap (TYVEK). The 2 builders I have been talking to lately suggest just putting a vapor...

I know go as big as you can. My question is would you build a 40'x40'x12' or a 36'x48'x12'? It will have 2- 12'x10' garage doors and 1 service door if that matters.

I am in the process of planning out my garage now. I have read a lot about what people put on the inside of the garage walls. I am pretty sure I am going with metal since I can’t/don’t know how to finish drywall correctly. My question is what do you guys due about sparks and slag? Do you...

I will be running power from my house (200 amp) to my garage (100 amp). A friend of mine offered to sell me some 2 2 2 4 URD for .50 a foot. I measured from the house to the barn and the distance is 100 feet. That is just laying the tape measure flat on top of the ground. With that...

I searched a bunch of threads for what people are happy with and for what people decided they did wrong. I am in the process of trying to figure out what I should do for my shop. My first thought was build a 40x40x12 because that fits into my money constraints but some people have said to go...

Hello everyone. I live in central Indiana and am wanting to build a new shop. I am thinking 40x40. I have talked to a couple builders and some suggest no hang over and other suggest a 1 foot hang over. I will be working in the shop all winter and summer long. Can you all give me some do's...
