My new metal building

[scottb1469]

Scott - i am in the process of starting a 30x35, and contacted eversafe.

Do you know who they use as their manufacture? Is is Carolina Carports if so? Let me know how your experience was with them. Thanks!

The stamped engineering plans were from Carolina Carports.

I'm not sure if the plastic works but we have one of these buildings without it, any night it frosts, once the morning sun starts to melt it, the ceiling is dripping water every where inside.



I added a large ceiling fan and exhaust fan in mine to help, helped with the humidity but still get water drips from frost/ice on the roof.

So far my experience here in Florida has been good. I have a ******* Jeep and normally it collects condensation overnight on the seats and on the inside of the windshield. If I pull it into the garage it’s dry as a bone in the morning. Granted I don’t have a front overhead door yet but I’ll keep ya posted, it should be up in a couple weeks.

Nice shop. Is it high enough for a lift.

10’ walls and it’s 12’7” at the center. I’m certain a lift could fit but I don’t have plans for one.

Filled the concrete cuts with ArmorPoxy’s product. It mixes 1/1 and goes in like spackle. Ground down the edges with a grinder.

Thanks for the info. I’m looking at $1.25 per sq foot for 1.5” closed cell here.

Will you share from who you are getting that price? I got quoted $8,000 dollars for closed cell today, 30x35x12 shop. I thought it was insanity.

First coat of polyurea is down. Justin from garageflooringllc is great btw. Had a quick question before I got started so I texted him directly and he answered immediately. Great customer service.

Just waiting until I can scrape/vacuum the flakes and roll on the clear top coat.

Door looks great!

It’s amazing how much a decent overhead door costs. I’m looking at $4K for two 12’x10’ overhead doors.

Where did you snag the overhead door from?

Your garage is shaping up nicely.

Love the garage, everything came out great.
Nicely done.

scottb1469 that's a great outcome..

 

[scottb1469]

Thanks guys! It’s been awhile but I’ve been busy. Insulated the walls with 1/2 radiant backed foam panels then put up 3/4 OSB, built some shelves, a bench and put up some cabinets. Just finished the paint last week.

What kind of prep did you have to do to your slab before applying the polyurea? Acid etch, grind etc?

Also when filling the cuts did you have to grind them to open them up prior to filling, or do you just fill them as is and grind smooth after the fill cures?

I did an acid etch. I didn’t have to do anything with the cracks except fill them in with sand a little so I didn’t need as much filler. I used a grinding wheel to smooth any rough spots after it dried.

The polyurea is awesome and I can’t recommend it enough. It’s super strong, stands up to everything and cleans up easily.

You made some great progress this summer. When I first saw the color, woe, but looking at it more, I like it. Along with the white, looks like a cool place to hang. Has the insulation and wall covering help with keeping the heat at bay?

I haven’t done a scientific evaluation on the heat reduction but here’s my seat of the pants opinion....

I live in SW Florida, it’s almost October and it’s still in the lower 90s with high humidity. The summer here is actually the rainy season. I read that the insulation on the roof panels does more to prevent interior condensation than it does to keep temps down and to that I can attest it works great. I also know from experience that metal roof panels get burning hot to the touch down here and this insulation has shielded some of that heat. Also the foam/foil insulation I placed under the osb has to help too. I got an insulated overhead door too because someday I may want to add a split AC system, who knows

I’m out there a lot in 90 degree weather and the simple shade the building offers is nice. But the biggest thing that helps cool it off is opening BOTH overhead doors. (There’s an 8’x8’ roll up in the back corner) this creates a cross breeze that pulls a lot of air through the building

I’m really happy with my new garage. Love it.

Nice job

 

[Cleelopez]

Are you happy with the insulation used on the roof? Would you recommend it? I just put my deposit on a 24’x35’x12’ in Fort Myers Fla. Any good advice? Any regrets or if I could do it over again thoughts??

 

[Cleelopez]

How was the process of DIY with the epoxy flooring treatment?

 

[Cleelopez]

Did you get your?? I’m starting mine now. Waiting on the engineers plans to get the permitting

 

[jkrenzel]

Same here Cleelopez doing a 35'x28' !

Wow.. that came out really nice. Well done

 

[jkrenzel]

Any updates?

 

[blasteryan]

I am located in Nokomis (sarasota county) and I am looking to build a similar building in my backyard. I am wondering what survey company you used for your garage building permit? Any advice in getting the building permit? Please & Thank You, Ryan

 

[Gnar65]

I ended up going with Eversafe/Carports anywhere due to your post. Your garage looks great! Just had a quick question about your garage door. Did they use large "sheet metal" style screws or did they use bolts/nuts to attach the tracks and supports?

Thanks, Mark

 

[Boosted1]

that looks nice.

 

[woodz525]

Nice job, I appreciate you taking time to post your progress; it was very helpful for a newbie like me. Did you ever get the outside painted to match the hous? if so how did that go.
