Barn roof insulation

[grsthegreat]

Im done with any kinds of insulation vapor barrier use in barns. Bugs land on it and birds peck at bugs and tear holes. Now days everyone i know places chipboard directly to trusses, tar paper then steel roof

ABC has a product called Rust Trail. My supplier had a sample. She didn't like it which I'm glad because it was heavy. She was really after something that looked old. Had all the patina.

I agree.

This has been a slow process. The heat hasn't helped. New LED can lights are awesome.

That is a fine looking job. Certainly hope you are being well paid, working in that miserable heat and humidity.

That’s more like I would have expected to see inside originally the first time I viewed the outside pics. Nice job.

Looks really nice. Are the boards bought already stained or are you doing that yourself before installing them?

What did you use to keep moisture off of the boards that forms under the metal roof panels?

We put insulation under the roof below the purlins. I hope it works. Thats how the customer wanted to do it. I tried to talk them into removing the roof and putting down rolled fiberglass but the didn't want that. The barn laborer stained the pine.

Anyone know where to get rusted metal roofing?

I've got a stack from a 40x60 roof replacement.

Where do I sell it ?

Craigslist? Where are you located?
