Nice building! Did you put it up yourself? What kit was it?

I thought I was smart to install 10x8 doors when I built a new garage at my last place.
Are 10x9’s common?

The garage is a carolina carports unit. Two guys put it up in 8 hrs. My buddies and i sat in lawn chairs and watched in amazement. I wanted at least 9 ft doors for my tractors. To get 10 ft doors i would have to go with 11 ft walls. Now my work begins, lights , outlets , and covering the inside with plywood. Although right now i am only doing the part where my workbench is going, Lumber prices are crazy right now. Had to build 2 sets of shelves today for a customer. 3 sheets of ply and 26 2x4s were 265 dollars.

how much was the shed total with install?

 

[3gunr]

The garage was 11,700 . The concrete was 5900. Installation is included in the price, Originally i was going with a 24x30 which was 8800, My wife said go bigger so i wasnt complaining it was to small in a yr or two, With this larger width the trusses are much beefier with welded bottom plate and upright braces.

Spent the weekend wiring hanging lights , putting up inner wall, Etching concrete floor, Hopefully putting clear sealer on next weekend.

NICE...

Very nice.

I wish I could have gotten a 9’ door. I went 8’ and the ROPS just barely squeaks in. But it does keep the bigger riff-raff out. (Brother’s big JD.)

I wish i had paid more attention when they were putting up the doors, the roll ups were actually 10x10s and i could have had the one more in the middle made a full 10ft. I wanted at least 9 or the tractor with canopy would not fit in 8ft. I am wanting to cover the inside with osb , but not at 33 dollars a sheet. I picked up 50 sheets of the old blackboard at lowes a while back for a buck a sheet. It will have to do for now.

I would suggest some sort of faced insulation to control condensation.

You'll get a lot of good use from this building for sure!!!

 

[3gunr]

I am considering that on the ceiling or spray foam. I called to get a quote on foam and got no reply. I think there is 2 ft between the purlins and thought about cutting 4x8 sheets in half and sliding them in between . What do you think?

 

[ovrszd]

To prevent condensation the insulating material needs to be pressed against the skin metal. Then faced to help stop air flow.

On days like today, my bare metal machine shed sweats and drips. I'll have dust/drip spots on my equipment in line with the purlins.

 

[ovrszd]

Meant to mention spray foam. that's definitely the best way to stop condensation if you can afford it. Pricey, but effective.

Spray foam will also make that building strong as steel.
