I’m trying to spec out my new building and wanting to figure out a large door option that doesn’t have large air gaps. I’m going to be doing spray foam so the rest of the building will be relatively air sealed, but even the best of roll ups doors have pretty decent gaps. Moldings and brush...

Planning out some of the final details and got to see a few shops the size I’m hoping to build. One thing that struck me when I was hanging out was the echos in the space. Large walls and concrete are gong to echo but is there a way I can make the larger space sound decent? Not looking to...

Anyone ever build so big things were too far away from things or other downside? I've been planning my future hobby wood shop build (no cars) and I've heeded peoples advice that whatever you think you need, go bigger. So right now I'm settled on a 40x50 with 10 foot walls. As I lay out...

Trying to figure out how tall to make my future shop, one end of it I'm going to put in a bathroom and office, wanted to use the space above these rooms for more than just storage, maybe a second room for a second office or similar. For those of you who've built a loft, how tall is your...

If you know of a metal building (red iron) contractor in the Charlotte NC area let me know! I have got a few quotes back to have a 40x60x14 metal building built for me and I'm beginning to wonder if I have unrealistic expectations or if the quote I'm getting are insane. I'm looking for the...

So planning out my new shop. One of the question that came up was do I want eaves or not. It will be a 40x60 metal building, 16 feet tall. I don't plan to store anything under them, just considering them for aesthetics and keep the water off the walls/foundation. So questions to those of you...

About to build my shop, one of the big challenges I face is humidity here in the south. I'm trying to figure out a way to keep the relative humidity down below 50% solidly. The building I'm hoping to build is 40x60x16 insulated to at least R13. I'll have one roll up door, but most of the...

So I'm going to be building a shop that's a few hours from home, the plan is to move there full time in a few years, but I'm going to build the shop now so I can have a real shop and build a small living area into it so I have a place to stay while I'm up there. I know that in floor heating...

I'm in the planning stages of my build and the shop will be on a piece of land I own about 2 hours away. I plan to build a house there in a few years, but shop first (priorities) with a basic living setup so I can go up on and stay for about half the time. Since I won't be up there all the...
