Don, are you letting the supplier erect the red iron and put up tin, or are you doing that yourself? I had not realized your new addition was deeper than the original building - it's indeed going to be a nice shop.Roger

With the iron up, it seems so much bigger than I thought it would be. I will be nice to work in.

You got that right! Especially if there's any breeze at all, and it doesn't take much to turn a piece of tin that size into a sail! How about insulation? I used a bubble wrap with foil one side, white the other for the roof panels, but have never done my walls. What are you using? Originally Posted by DA34GUY

After all the interior walls (Booth,sh*tter, and air compressor room)
and rough out electrical is done, spray foam insulation 6" thick on everything.
Then combonation, white tin and dryall entire inside.
Will also install a 5 ton heat pump for a/c and heat.When I get to where I was goin, I forgot why I went there>

Ain't my 1st rodeo @ concrete. Originally Posted by LIFESTYLZ

Mesh was pulled up @ least 3 " in a 6" slab.
Concrete also had fibermesh in it.
Got any other advise on how to build a shop?
