Hi All,
I'm currently building a Menard's 24'x40'x12' Pole Barn shop. The barn is up with no concrete poured yet. I'm waiting for spring to do that. I'm undecided about putting radiant heat in the floor. I did put 2" foam around the exterior and plan to insulate the floor also. I plan to have a two post lift and do not expect to be crawling on the floor as much as I do now. I will build a machine shop room in the back of the barn once I pour the floor. The inside is unfinished so far. I've been looking at many builds on this site to get more ideas.
Bob

Ren: another member just asked the same question about how he can install floor heating in an existing garage. you might want to post on his thread so you both can compare notes. his handle is FordSuperDuty or something like that because i abbreviated it to FSD.

welcome to our forum and do you have any pictures of your new garage that you can post?
