I have used (am using) one. Works fine, second year, Winnipeg winters, 24x28 shop. Small water heater (7 gals?) removed 1500 watt element, replaced with 5000 watt. In the dead of winter unit comes on for a while then off for as long as seven or eight hours. Circulating pump runs all the time...

I just finished my detached garage/shop. I used OSB for all interior walls and ceiling. Works perfectly. Shop is 24 x 28 with 12foot sidewalls, scissor trusses that give me a 13 ft. center clearance. Painted everything semi-gloss white. Then caulked seams with Brite-white caulking, looks great...

Think again about that height restriction. In my area we are limited to 15 feet but that is a "mean" measurement which means that there is as much roofline below that height as above. Some areas use an average of the roof height. Show them your drawings. 10 foot sidewalls with scissor trusses...

GO TRUSSES!!!!! I just finished a 24 x 28 shop with ten foot sidewalls, scissor trusses I used are 4 in 12 rise on the outside, 3 in 12 on the inside. Gives me a 13 foot high center (trusses span the 24 foot side). Up here in Winterland they cost 105.00 each...roof goes on in less than 1 day (we...

In my attached garage I built a shelf frame, two feet wide, out of one and a half inch by one eighth angle iron, one inch by one eighth straps to hang (every four feet) front from rafters (back is attached to studs) Used three quarter inch plywood for bottom (just lay it in the angle iron) looks...

I'm wondering about the confusion that siding on the ceiling might cause after toooo many drinks! You might think you are standing when you are laying down or vice versa, a guy could hurt himself..........sorry

Just finished my garage/shop. Did not run into any major problems, other than snarky hydro employees abusing their supposed authority (take a pro with you for the electrical permit). 1. draw up plans...re-draw them a number of times.(make sure you have a drawing for your electrical) 2.Get one or...

I would definately put water in if it is a valid option (here it is too cold in winter to get plumbing from house to shop) I often thought that a re-claimed washer/dryer would be a good thing in a shop for cleaning/polishing towels, grimy coveralls etc. Although to answer your concerns about eye...

I had managed to put some of this stuff into the back of my mind somewhere but now your question brings it all forward. I am waiting/hoping that today, tomorrow etc. it manages to get to plus 10 or so, about 50 degrees for you southerners, so that I can fasten the insulation around the...

Electric, I like the idea of no flame in the shop!

I did the same thing....24 x 28, three zones, divided into three on the 28ft length, hot lines on the outside working to the centre on each end zone. Middle zone "spiral" layout" with the hot line hitting the outside walls. If this is of any interest I could do another drawing and attach it...

Just signed up today but have been lurking around for a month or so. Just had the pad poured for a 24 x 28 garage (just a little bigger than the current attached), going with in-floor heat, 10 ft. side walls, scissor trusses to achieve a 13 foot centre, four leg hoist to come soon, all this to...
