Greetings from another Southern Yankee. Thanks for these videos. just had my metal building installed last week and have been looking at various insulating solutions. Your videos has given me some more great ideas for mine. Mine is only 16 x 25 but I've also got a 24 x60 going up in the near future. Thanks!
Glad to help
Great job, I have a similar 30x50 garage and have been mulling over every possible insulation option and I got some good ideas from you. I'm going to use silver on the walls and white for ceiling. Also, I'm going to let the panels float between the metal studs instead of gluing. This allows for air flow and a gap for radiant heat to work properly and not enter the building through the foam. Not that it matters with 2 inch foam. To keep the foam panels in place you fabricate little metal tabs, say 1 inch by 2 inches and use those, screwed to the studs, to hold the panels from falling out. Don't use tape it will not work when the panels condensate. Hope that all makes sense. Thanks for the vid.
I'm actually thinking of eventually doing a french cleat system around the garage that will hold the panels better and give me multiple locations for hanging all the stuff a garage notoriously collects.
Great idea. I just ordered 100 R tech panels..not cheap 🤪 glad i watched your video because 2 inch doesn't fit on the ceiling but 1.5 inch does perfectly.
Exactly my thoughts for my 30x50 metal barn! Could you please share pictures or video? :)

Ill be home in 3 weeks and will send you some picts. Best part is my garage never condensates now, whereas before it would rain in my garage like an amazon forest without panels lol
@@goodingwashington6099 Sorry I flaked on this, I just found out how to look at my RUclips history, do you still need pictures or a vid on my brackets?
Could have done self tappers with the plastic washers into the purlins. That's what their made for.
Thanks for walking us through your process. Most contact cements need to set before applying the panel.
I did that but it still didnt hold like I would like. Wednesdays video is going to have a little bit of a new way I'm trying. Still experimenting.
I used wire and a couple of springs. Emt also. Good job. There is not easy way to do this.
Great video, how thick is the board you use 1" or 2" I'm thinking of doing in the same but I'm a little afraid if I should leave a 1" gap or not I'm in central texas
On the roof I used 1 inch going the length of the building between the perlins and then used 2 inch under that on the rafters. The walls are straight 2 inch.
@@southernyankeehomestead3230 you don't have any issues with condensation on wall with out an air gap
@@prostuffgmr8266 there is an air gap there. The insulation doesn't fit tight even with the spray adhesive. It would also be difficult for condensation to build because we run a dehumidifier 24/7 in the garage. Tools are too expensive to risk them condensing inside the building.
Fantastic work, I must do exactly the same, I'm thinking 50 m boards. Are there any tips you could give me? Like what glue to use .. and if you have noticed a difference since the install. thank you
I've tried several different methods so far. I'll say spray adhesive is worthless in this application. Double sided foam tape has worked the best so far and keep your joints as tight as possible. I'm still working on what tape works best for the joints and long term is going to be a ways down the road.
There are a couple more videos in this series and can be found under our playlist for metal building.
@@southernyankeehomestead3230 Thanks very much from Ireland
great video! will this insulation work in snow (5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit)? thanks!
Hard to say but anything has to be better than nothing!
So I'm in the process of installing foam board insulation in my metal building now. So do you have any condensation problems without having an air gap between the foam board and metal sheeting wall ?
I have not had any moisture issues. There is a caveat to that though... we are in a very humid area being in the south so we have run a dehumidifier since the electric was installed in the garage. I dont want any of my lesser used tools to rust up.
How big is your shop and what did it cost to insulate
It is 24 x 40 and it was around 1300 for the insulation. Add another 3-400 for all the bits to hold it up.
Why not spray foam ?
I covered that in one of the other videos. It was going to cost more than the building and the slab to to spray it. In excess of $17k. And that was before pandemic prices on construction material went bonkers.
How do you plan on hanging anything on the walls since there are no wooden studs? I'm looking at getting a metal building but I'm torn because it seems like finishing one is a pain in the rear.
In the event I want to hang something off the walls I'll get some flat stock and angle iron and just make a shelving unit I can zip screw to the metal studs.
You can hang lumber or plywood horizontally. There are studs. The metal columns. Same as a pole barn.
Except the studs are 5 feet on center. So plywood is out because theres too much waste. I also dont know what self tapping metal screws would do to the structural integrity of the beams.
@@southernyankeehomestead3230 I built mine and the 5 foot studs are a pain in the ass. Best case is to frame 2x4s with angle brackets every 24 on center in between the metal studs, running vertically the same way.
@@southernyankeehomestead3230 self tappers won’t hurt it. That’s what the buildings themselves are constructed with. Other than that yeah you’re right there would be some waste if you tried to cut sheets down. If I ever build a metal building again, I’m gonna specify 48” or less between the stud/joists even if it makes the building more expensive. Currently insulating with 4x8 panels and trying to minimize that waste.
how does it do against condensation?
So far so good but we haven't had good conditions for condensation to truly build.
Lol, just caught your name, how can you be a southern Yankee, lol, I'm sure it's a story
Hun is from Guyana, South America. He is from Maine. And I think you can guess on the homestead part.
How’s that contact cement holding up a year later?
Not great. The double side foam 3m tape I used in part 4 has been the easiest and most effective so far.
@@southernyankeehomestead3230 a van camping group all swears by great stuff to mount this type of foam. They use it in their camper conversion vans and they say the spray foam holds it in with no squeaks. I tried pl300 foam board adhesive and it doesn’t grip the foil. Loctite says it’s not recommended. Liquid nails eats the foam. Gonna give the spray foam a shot.
