    Actually they are the inside freezer panels like on the inside of a walk in cooler. They are 4' wide by 8' and 10' long 1/4" plate on the outside and inside and 3 3/4" of compressed insulation R38 value. They are heavy and hard to work with, but when all is said and done it was well worth it...

    It started as a pole barn and I went way deep. The freezer panels are heavy, but the 4" panel gives you the same R value as a 12" wall. I have a contact that does freezer panel work. These panels are used and some are beat up. ( you fill the holes and dents with caulk and sand ) I hung them...

    Hardie siding question

    I just finished my garage 40 X 65, 15' high. I used hardi board horizontal on the bottom and 4 X 10 sheets on the top over USB board. One thing about the 4 X 10 is that they are heavy and hard to work, but they look great and are very durable. Good Luck Dave
