So I finished installing a 29 gauge liner in my pole barn. My intention was to install the ceiling panels on the bottom on the trusses (spaced at 4-feet), then blow in insulation from the attic space above. However, I was getting ready to rent the attic cat machine and begin blowing in the...

So I purchased 3 Canarm LTD 56" White Industrial Commercial Ceiling Fans (Model Number: CP561118111R) along with 3 Canarm MC3 2.5Amp variable-speed controllers. Installed 1 and it hums loudly on every setting except full speed. Likely a low voltage problem due to the reostate controller...

I'm planing to install strip lighting into my pole building shortly. The ceiling is metal liner and the feed for the lights will drop through the ceiling into the first fixture. The remaining fixtures are spaced roughly 2 feet apart and will be fed from one to another. Does the exposed wire...

I've decided for a couple of reasons to install 8-foot long, 4 bulb fixtures in my pole building/ man cave. Can someone recommend a good source for decent budget minded fixtures?

I'm installing surface mount T8 fixtures on a 4' x 6' grid in my pole barn. In between fixtures, I would like to install a few ceiling fans here and there. The fans I'm looking at are hung 15" below the ceiling, and have a 56" diameter so a portion of the fan blade (about 4 inches) will pass...

How are you guys installing your fixtures? I have 24 standard box-type T8 fixtures that surface mount to flat ceilings. However, my metal ceiling liner has corrugation ribs making the surface irregular. Any suggestions on how to mount them? Do they make some sort of spacer or adapter for this...

So I started my pole barn/ Man Cave project about 10 years ago. A divorce and job change set me back, but I'm starting to see the light (pun intended) to the end of this long project. I picked up 24 2-Bulb used T8 fixtures in excellent condition complete with new fluorescent bulbs about 8...

I'm putting a loft in my pole barn, but can't find any tables on the web that would fit my situation. Decking tables include snow loads, and general framing tables include load bearing walls, neither of which I have. Can someone point me to a table or give me their thoughts? Here is my...

My pole building is 36' x 40', 12 foot ceilings with R19 in walls and R30 blown insulation with 6 mil vapor barrier for ceiling. Two 10' x 10' insulated doors and six double pane windows. I also have insulation under slab. I'm looking at this unit...

I have a 36 x 40 x 12 pole building and I'm looking for a contractor who can install a liner on my walls and ceiling. Does anyone know of a company out my way? Thanks.

Starting my search for a mini split AC/Heat Pump for my pole building. I'm a DIY guy so I liked MRCOOLS approach - provide a complete DIY mini split system without the need for a HVAC guy to charge the lines later. So I called them to ask what size unit they would recommend. I spoke with...

Finally getting around to finishing my pole barn Man Cave. My Cave is 36' x 40', 12' high. I framed out the inside with 2x6s, 24' on center and installed wiring and batt insulation. I called Pioneer PB (who installed by Barn) for a quote to put in a "Liner". Nice guy and said this would be...

Finished the interior 2x6 framing for insulation and sheet rock in my 36 x 40 pole barn. The girts are nailed horizontially to the outside of the posts, and the siding is screwed to the girts leaving a 1 1/2" gap between the posts and metal siding. Can I run the wire for my outlets on top of...
