Want to put 1.5" EPS foam between the girts in my barn. Was considering XPS but the price is crazy right now. The building has double bubble between the metal siding and framing with reflective side out. This EPS foam is also faced with a reflective side. Would the reflective side also face...

Hey guys, I finished framing the office in my pole barn and needed some advice on joist size for storage above. I have 14' sidewalls and scissor trusses so I'm trying to do everything I can (within reason) to maximize the headroom. This is important to me. Info - The joist span distance is...

Hope everyone had a nice xmas, I have a 40x48x14 pole barn with 3 ply lam posts and want to start working on a long-term project of enclosing one interior gable end of the building (12x40) for an office and another room while also building a loft above that. I plan to first start with 8'...

Hi folks, We are just finishing up a pad for a 40x48x14 pole barn. Total size is about 50 x 60. The area where the barn is going is on a slight grade so one end of the pad needed about 2.5' of fill and the other end needed almost nothing. No money to deal with a retaining wall on the fill...

Hi, I posted a thread called "Prefab Raised Center Barn" in the general garage discussion forum. Im trying to get some feedback on my shop plans before I move forward. Can someone please relocate it to the correct forum? Thank you! Drew

Hi all, I live in NC and am very close to going under contract with a company on a prefab raised center barn on slab. I have looked hard at pole barns but they just want so damn much for these around here. The stick built price was even higher. The Carport Prefab style is very popular in...
