Insulation newby

I am not sure I can afford sprayed foam insulation in my 30x50x10 pole barn. What would be the next notch down?

Next notch down?.....spray foaming a 30x50x9'6"....???? Sorry I couldn't resist. I'll behold from here on out. a Fiberglas type of insulation I would guess?

Do you plan to heat it?

Look into flash and batt. It is a 1-2 inch layer of foam, followed by fiberglass insulation batts. Gives you the sealing properties of foam and the economy of fiberglass.

Have you considered spray cellulose. I researched this prior to foaming my shop, Quotes I received were a little over 1/2 of what the foam guys wanted.

Foam won out for my build because the only person I could find to spray cellulose was a 3 hour drive and couldn't meet my schedule. (he was booked for 3 months)
