Ours are overlapping end to end just slightly, but can't side to side due to the rafters. Not sure we showed the overlap good enough. Appreciate you stopping by and commenting
Wozza..this definitely helped me to show my helper guy to see best way to insulate with baffles. I going to use puck type with screen every so often on my soffit. Thanks again for info. Bama Fishin B
Great video. I live in Texas and don't 🤔 think I need baffles cause of the dry heat air climate. I have a small lean shed 10x 12ft. Going to install faced insulation and a radiant barrier. I have 2x6 rafters and insulation is like 2 1/4 inches thick so I will have plenty of air movement behind the insulation and ceiling.
Sounds good! We lived right outside of Houston before we moved up here, and dry is not how I would describe anywhere close to the coast 😅 But if you're in a drier area, I can certainly see where your solution would work great! Fantastic comment and much appreciated - hopefully others in drier climates will find this useful. Appreciate you stopping by 😊
Two holes and screen wire is what I was thinking as well, but I wasn't sure. Now I am. Thank you so much guys! If you ever need any tips on soft-washing/pressure-washing, please feel free to let me know. Thanks again.
You two are fun to watch while working together! Thanks for the video! I'm planning to buy a prebuilt/dropdown shed and am thinking about how to best insulate it.
Thank you both for sharing! Probably saving a lot of us a lot of money and time! I live in North east Georgia. It’s kind of a dry climate, not terribly humid like say Florida. What type of climate is your shed located in? Hopefully if this works for you it’ll work for me too! I’ve seen other ppl use this route some of which lived in Texas which is much hotter than the area I live.
I've lived in FL and TX, and yes - HOT is an understatement. It's not too different here than N GA, we are in the Upstate of SC right at the foothills, so it gets pretty hot and humid, about like N Alabama. Really appreciate you stopping by 😊
We didn't, sorry... We did finish putting in all the baffles, insulation in ceiling and walls, got all the electric and plumbing done and I couldn't be happier! Our latest video shows the finished product in our Soap Shop video. Thanks for stopping by and following along 😊
Hello. I happen upon your video and I'm having severe issues with floor sweating. My home is a shed originally. We insulated the whole ceiling and every wall. But for the floor we used the protocol little plastic barrier under some tongue and groove fake wood flooring. My house sits about a foot above ground on one side and about six inches on the other side, but it's level. It doesn't have skirting. But I was told that wouldn't help anyway. Please give me some guidance on what to do. I don't want this becoming mold or worse for my kids. Thank you.
We used the thin foam cheap stuff under our tongue and groove laminate flooring and haven't had any issues. It's true that having airflow underneath helps, but I think skirting would help as long as you kept the airflow with two vents in both long sides and one at each end. This would help with rain water soaking into all the ground underneath which will cause moisture issues. You could also put a small dehumidifier in your shed-home. We just bought one ourselves for our RV and it works great, plus it didn't cost much. I'm probably going to move it to the shed soon because with it being a soap shop it will assist in helping my soaps cure better. Keep us updated, we'd like to hear what solutions work for you. Blessings ❤️
I think vents at each end in the peak may help, or if you have a ridge cap, that may be enough air flow, but I'm not 100% sure. Really appreciate you stopping by and asking, please let us know what direction you go with and how it works out for you. 😊
I would put something over the screen to discourage things like yellow jackets or wasps from chewing through it. I have watched a yellow jacket chew through a metal screen.. horrifying!
Yes, we mention that we would add screen, we just didn't show us doing that part. We actually made several rectangular frames with screen and placed it over the holes and fixed them with screws. There are 6 frames down each side. This way, if we ever need to replace a torn piece, we just replace the screen on the affected frame. Not sure my description here explains it enough, and we should have shown that part, but hopefully it makes sense. Appreciate you stopping by and following along 😊
Whatched your video moving your saw mill have to say he's still milling your logs from the wrong end small to big end of your log saves you makeing all the passes he doing. Start at your small eat end .
I remember you saying that once before, it makes perfect sense.. but we actually like having quite a few of the small thin passes because we use those thin boards for special projects. I guess I should have put the small end up front today for some that we milled (that's an upcoming video). I'll turn it around next time 😀
@@HomesteadFresh cheers! I've used baffles to stop noise flow in ceiling and underfloor spaces before (I used to do a lot of office fit outs for work! ) but hadn't seen anything like these before!
Great question - every section. We did two, 2" holes per section, but thinking one would have been plenty. Just didn't show us doing them all because it was boring for us - I could only imagine it would be excruciatingly boring for those watching 😅 Appreciate you stopping by 😊
Hmmm... I'm sure there has to be a way. I hope someone else that has had that issue can chime in. Can you put vents at each end and drop the ceiling a bit? Nix the baffles and maybe that would give some "attic like" air flow?
Absolutely! They are available at Lowes, Home Depot, and even Amazon. These particular ones are the Durovent UDV2248 Rafter Ventilators, but most places just call them Baffles if you are searching for them. Thanks so much for stopping by 😊
That's all we put in, just baffles on the ceiling... With the holes on the outside it gives it enough airflow and it's working so well! I make homemade soap which is synonymous with attracting any moisture it can find causing them to be sweaty in a humid environment and I'm pleasantly surprised I haven't had to even hook up my dehumidifier 😃 Really appreciate you stopping by, feel free to ask any questions you have 😊
It's the same as soffit vents in any house... We did a total of 4 skipped down to the middle and did two,then 4 more at the far end. We covered them with screen (since they don't make soffit screen covers this size or shape) and it has worked out great. I was a bit wary at first as well, but very happy with the results. Appreciate the input and for stopping by 😊
Correct! With the holes drilled in the soffit, the air flows between the baffles and the roof providing just the perfect amount of circulation to counter any condensation building up. The walls haven't needed it and we couldn't be happier with how this has turned out 😁 Really appreciate you stopping by, feel free to reach out if you have any other questions 😊
I like this guy, he's got a great sense of humor. New subscriber. Thank you.
Thanks! His humor is definitely one of the things that makes me keep him around 😀
Appreciate you!
I saw someone comment on another video that the baffles are supposed to overlap. It makes sense.
Ours are overlapping end to end just slightly, but can't side to side due to the rafters. Not sure we showed the overlap good enough.

Thank you! We are about to insulate our shed cabin and this helped.
So glad! Good luck and let us know how everything goes 😊
@@HomesteadFresh did you make a video of the finished shed?
Not yet, we are waiting to get the countertops built (but farm life took precedence), but should be getting it finished up soon. 😊
@@HomesteadFresh will be looking out for it!

Nice WM hat! Fellow Sawyer here in the PNW :)
Thanks! Best investment ever!
You're in a good area for it over there too, I'll say I'm a bit jealous. So many softwoods in my area.
@@HomesteadFresh for sure! Mostly douglas fir, cedar, wild cherry here in my area.
Doing the same to my shed. Did you record a roof insulation and drywall video?
We didn't, sorry... We did finish putting in all the baffles, insulation in ceiling and walls, got all the electric and plumbing done and I couldn't be happier! Our latest video shows the finished product in our Soap Shop video.

What did you use for vapor barrier or retardent on the walls and roof?
We used tar paper, and we haven't had any issues. Thanks for asking 😀
What if the roof doesn't overhang? I've got a lofted barn shed that I'll be insulating, I have few ideas for an intake vent but not sure yet
I think vents at each end in the peak may help, or if you have a ridge cap, that may be enough air flow, but I'm not 100% sure.
Really appreciate you stopping by and asking, please let us know what direction you go with and how it works out for you. 😊
Hello,moi les fourmis m'ont manger le polystyrène.
Attention à bien protéger.
C'est bon à savoir! J'apprécie votre contribution et merci d'être passé ! 😊
I would put something over the screen to discourage things like yellow jackets or wasps from chewing through it. I have watched a yellow jacket chew through a metal screen.. horrifying!
Hadn't thought of that - will defiantly look into it! Thanks!!
What if your building doesn’t have soffits or vents?
We didn't have them either, which is why we show drilling the wholes in the beginning. Hope it helps 😊
You need a screen to keep out vermin.
Yes, we mention that we would add screen, we just didn't show us doing that part. We actually made several rectangular frames with screen and placed it over the holes and fixed them with screws.

what are those sheets actually called? we don't have lowes in Australia, but I wonder if I can find them somewhere else, if I know what to google!
Hey, thanks for stopping by 😊
These are called baffles. You might try searching "styrofoam baffles"
Good luck!
@@HomesteadFresh cheers! I've used baffles to stop noise flow in ceiling and underfloor spaces before (I used to do a lot of office fit outs for work! ) but hadn't seen anything like these before!
I just found your video! I have exhausted searching for information and you made this so clear! Thank you!
Did you place yfhe outside holes in every section of just those few thst you showed?
Great question - every section. We did two, 2" holes per section, but thinking one would have been plenty. Just didn't show us doing them all because it was boring for us - I could only imagine it would be excruciatingly boring for those watching 😅

Yeah I don't have soffits. So it's not possible to drill holes in somthing i don't have for ventilation
Hmmm... I'm sure there has to be a way. I hope someone else that has had that issue can chime in.
Can you put vents at each end and drop the ceiling a bit? Nix the baffles and maybe that would give some "attic like" air flow?
do you need to do that to the walls also to keep moisture out
We didn't, and haven't had an issue yet.
Appreciate you following along 😊
Can you tell me the name of the styrofoam sheets you are using in the video?
Absolutely! They are available at Lowes, Home Depot, and even Amazon. These particular ones are the Durovent UDV2248 Rafter Ventilators, but most places just call them Baffles if you are searching for them.

yeeeeee harrrr LOL

Only on roof portion?

I dont know about drilling all those holes in the house
It's the same as soffit vents in any house... We did a total of 4 skipped down to the middle and did two,then 4 more at the far end.

Hey good morning
Good Morning 🌻
@@HomesteadFresh was there insulation on the walls before you put up the barriers
So barriers only used on roof. And rolled insulation on walls??
It was hit an miss... Two people both trying to get things done, so it just all depended on how much fast one of us was working 🤣
Correct! With the holes drilled in the soffit, the air flows between the baffles and the roof providing just the perfect amount of circulation to counter any condensation building up. The walls haven't needed it and we couldn't be happier with how this has turned out 😁

We have a ridge vent as well, so I'm not sure how it would be without one 🤔
