I am trying to figure out how I should mount my breaker panel in my pole building permanently. Right now I have it screwed right to the girts that are attached to the outside of the posts (see pictures). I am eventually going to run 2"x4"s horizontally between my posts on 24" centers for insulation. I will then osb on top of that. I am thinking I should go ahead and run the 2"x4"s on that portion of the wall (I have the materials already). Then attached my breaker panel to the 2"x4"s.
I am kind of worried that the panel will then stick out to far. But I don't want to have the breaker panel built into the wall once its finally finished. I would rather have full access to add to or modify my wiring in the future.
If I do it this way I planned to run a piece of 2" (or bigger) conduit from the top of my panel to above my rafter. Then run all of my outlet and light romex down through that conduit. That way once my ceiling is finished, no wires will be visible. I already have an outlet on each post with the wire running up the post to a junction box in the rafters (above the ceiling).
What is the "norm" to mounting breaker panels in a pole building? What have you people done in your buildings? Thanks for the help
