Retired drywall man here.Please wait on putting anything over the insulation . The moisture off the metal will soak the insulation. If you add drywall over the insulation you will have double trouble. Before you add any covering plywood / chipboard or drywall you will need deadwood blocking in most of the area's in the corner's and around the ceiling. You will need to run 1 by 4 wood strip's over the metal before you can do anything. The 4 by 8 insulation panel's 3 in thick is what you needed but I understand trying to insulate on the cheaper side. They also make a insulation made just for building like your's. Not trying to be a downer because it look's nice but please wait on covering the walls for a little bit. It may save you a ton of work and money in the long run.

OP post date 6-Feb-2020. Fast forward to May 2022. Did you find the Super77 held up so far? Have you had any problems with not applying a moisture barrier (double bubble radiant for example) first? Thanks for the time to produce and post this video. Super helpful!

MOLD AND RUST HAVE ENTERED THE CHAT.

Hey man looking sweet. Not sure what you got planned for hanging drywall but I was gonna mention using that bubble foil as a vapor barrier and then run 1x4 perpendicular to the metal on 16 inch centers then hang the drywall. The air gap will make that fool work better it’s amazing how much radiant heat can be reflected back into a place.

Thanks for all the information from EVERYONE, this will save me a ton of trouble down the road. At least if this guy lives in New England, there's so little humidity year round, they'd be fine.

really impressed with the glue and the speed. great job

We have used furring strips, batten boards, and pipe support straps to hold insulation in place.

What size garage did you go with? Great video - thanks for sharing!

Great job. I think I'm convinced about getting a metal garage now.

Next years video, how to remove moldy insulation.

Sorry to do this but as a word of caution to viewers who might choose to follow your directions, I have to rain on your parade. You are in a cold climate, the steel skin of your building is a vapor barrier and you are going to have condensation issues when water vapor reaches the metal. That is not a question of if but of how soon. How do I know? I do this for a living and know from experience (and building science) that fiber insulation just doesn’t work in this type of structure. You need an insulation system that prevents vapor from reaching cold surfaces and in reality that means closed cell spray foam. Yes, spray foam is more money up front but it works. If you continue down the path you are on now, you will end up ripping out your drywall and starting over.

I love your shop, you guys did an amazing job on it

I was just going to say I haven't noticed if you've looked at your insulation or anything but keep an eye on it because these buildings have a tendency to sweat a lot when it gets hot and cold and I was either told to use a mineral wool insulation or spray foam mineral wool is very highly water repellent they told me if I used regular insulation it was orbit like a sponge and eventually mold mineral will not mold but I was just going to say keep an eye out on it love your videos keep doing them

If you glue standard batts to the metal walls then dry wall over, what will happen if there is a leak from the outside? Will it not rot, as there is no vapour barrier, no gap to breathe?!

Hope you felt the warmth difference , both last winter and many to come . You can never have too many outlets or enough power . 110 is good but have at least one 220 is better.

People do not do this the way they are ! You must put styrofoam or something between the metal and insulation because it is going to sweat and will mold terrible !

Awesome, great to see young lads working hard. Watching this because I got a little shed that needs insulation.. my house would fit in your garage, 😂 but well done..

Would spray foam be good to use for this? Thanks!

Any condensation issues? I'm looking into insulating my metal building but I was leaning toward closed cell spray foam which is more expensive.

After the insulation how's the temperature 🌡️🤒 like during summer 🌞⛱️?

what size garage and how much did insulation cost to do it? Thanks

Awesome work Dudes!!!

If you wanted more than R-13 what would you recommend . I am planning on making a living space out of one one of these buildings .

Wow man that’s awesome and thanks for sharing. 👍🏼👍🏼

Looks amazing bro, I like it

Thanks for the nice informative video. Any problems with sweating or anything? Thanks

Looks good, did you do drywall yet, what do you plan to put on ceiling?

What kind of windows did you use? Just standard windows? Thanks!

Hi mate. Great video! Have you had any issues with condensation? I've a 40x13ft to put up and looking for insulation as I had to leave my other (uninsulated) shed for 6 months during lockdown. Checked on it the other day and it was pooling with condensation. Luckily what I had stored was covered anyway but it did leave a puddle in a few areas and a very wet roof

Planning on doing the same to my shed in florida, what kind of glue did you use

How much cheaper is that than closed cell spray foam? Did you price that out?

How does that insolation handle rain against the roof? Does it lower the sound?

its been a year, peel back a piece of insulation from the roof paneling so you and the rest of us can see if theres been any moisture issues up there!

Have you had any mold or moisture issues since installing the batting insulation?

Im in the process of insulating my shop now. Im using just a simple radiant barrier with a lower r-value (I think r9) One side is white the other is reflective. This looks like it worked for you, I was concerned about the moisture barrier.

Definitely keen to see you put up the dry wall. So you routed all the electric cable behind the insulation?

Hey man have you had any issues with this? Looking at doing this in my garage too.

What about the metal roof sweating and getting the insulation wet?

I'd love to know how much insulation and spray adhesive you went through, so I'll know how much to buy. Thank you.

So do you feel that it helps with the roof noise? I didn't hear you say...

My shop is made the same way. Carport material. Very happy with it besides the spacing between the bracing. Made it extremely difficult to insulate and put walls up. All my vertical framing is between 52" and 59" apart so everything is off. I don't know why they didn't do 48" centers. If I knew then what I know now, I would've paid more to get the framing on 48" centers. Putting up r13 and 4x8 thermostat insulation has be a nightmare. Also my doors are the storage unit type roll up. I ordered extra large doors and spent thousands on them so I'm stuck with them for now. My advice, do not order roll up doors from the building company. Have your local garage door company put up nice rail type doors that fit tight against the frame and closes the air gap like you did. I spent over 50k on my building with no insulation, wiring, nothing. But I have 2k sqft. It's taken me 2 yrs to get the electrical done and now working on insulation/walls. Me being one person, it's hard work. But I've saved a ton doing it myself. Foam insulation just for the roof they quoted $6500. That's insane. I did r13 fiberglass on the walls and I'm doing bubble radiant barrier for the roof. Today I'm working on the mini split. Been weeks and still don't have it in. Going into winter and want heat so that's my goal the next few days.

What about condensation behind the insulation is there any

What was the size of your building? Also why did you go with regular garage door instead of roll up? I’m looking to do a 40’x40’x14’. Trying to get all the info I can get.

If you were a female, well you know what I mean. If you built a taller garage (or twice the size), would you have done this yourself? What about trapped heat and or moisture on the metal structure? How are you preventing this and or water damage? Thanks!

Is the power tailgate an oem item, or aftermarket?

Hi nice video. Love the garage. So I'm currently extending my welding shop and I have been a approved by my city to add an additional 20x24ft garage. So I'm looking for something like yours. What company is your shop from? Ty

Great job man 👍

From experience with my own shop here in South Georgia, not worried so much with cold but triple digit temps in the summer, insulating that door will be worth every min. spent with it and its cheap and easy

What size is that shed? Thanks

I'd like to see it when you get done with the drywall. Good Job.

Any details on the garage itself? I'm looking for a similar one for my tractor.

I used 3/4 inch foam faced with radiant barrier. Looks much nicer and if it for any reason gets wet its no issue.

This will be a rusted out wreck in no time, lol.

Nice, my building will be installed February,March 2021 in north Floridabut going to put something up ,Thanks

What's the spacing on the studs? It seems 24" batt may have saved some time. Looks good though

what about condensation? Has the insulation fallen down due to getting wet.

How do you like the door over a rool up door I'm doing a 16/8 door on mine I like your opener there...

How did you seal the top of the walls where meet the ceiling?

I wonder if you could get that in like a non-aerosol application with a weed sprayer or something cuz that looks like it'll be super helpful on the ceiling

In the process of deciding what type of garage to go with. Like what you have done here. What company did you order from and what are you going to finish over the insulation with? Looks really good!

What kind of lights are you using and how many lumens per light fixture

This is going to be just fine and last a long time. Seen it this way in many old metal buildings.

Looks great can you post the finished product I am looking to do the same work and trying to get some ideas Love the craftsmanship take care brother

what brand of insulation and where you bot it at....along with what kinda glue too

So this works for steel storage sheds also I assume? It’s very similar.

That is a great job.

Looks good as hell

You can get trim from a metal roof place that will seal those gaps where the metal meets. Check them out so you seal it from bugs and stuff

What will you be covering the insulation with?

Did you ever finish it up with plywood or Sheetrock? I don't see a problem with moisture myself.. The insulation should stop the condensation, since the temperature is going to slowly change between shop temp and into the insulation before getting to the outside metal sheeting.. But, we are curious to know how it is going after the time.. If you have time to do another video, go for it.. Something else to consider down the road for me.. I have never had in floor heating, but, it just makes sense to me and I built a Oil Burner that will do a nice job warming things up, ground up.. Thanks.. Nice shop/Garage.. Commented about using Silicone on the other video before I saw you had done it... You can drop some landscape fabric and gravel around the outside to stop the dirt splashing up.. Cheers!!

What heater do you have for your garage? Or are planning on installing?

any chance of seeing the finished shed walls

Ya can't do a video like this without a montage, good call.

How long does it spray glue work

I need to do this exact same thing. Please make sure to post how you walled it up.

Very nice I am going to try it

What size is that.

I would have never thought gluing to ceiling would work

CONDENSATION!!!!! Better rip down now and do right or you can tear rusted out garage later. Hopefully after you have recovered from the lung infection from the mold.

I dont know what you are using this building for but I am waiting on my building to be delivered and they highly recommended the double bubble... that metal condensates.. after double bubble, frame and then do the pink insulation

Thank you for this video.

What kind of glue are you using

Very good preparation and information,would have been nice to have scaffolding

Nice job 👍

Retitle.. HOW NOT TO INSULATE A METAL GARAGE

I think your installation went pretty well and it looks good. I think over time, glue will not be enough to hold the ceiling panels in place. I’ve seen other installations where the that insulation starts to sag And separate. The price, less than $1000, is excellent.

Looking forward to seeing drywall. Im having a similar building installed in the south. Looks good! I'm adding the double bubble "insulation" more for a vapor barrier as well.

Good luck in the future with moisture between the metal and fiberglass. I hope you don't get the rust that I got from using fiberglass.

You're planning on sheetrock, right? Always hated the look of paperback insulation,looks so much better when imperfections are hidden.

Consider using FRP panels like in public restrooms as the wall board? It's cheap, looks good and is water proof.

How big is that building bro? Nice video 👍🏼

Did you do a video with the dry wall

What size garage is this?

Do you have a link to where you bought the garage?

What is used for a vapor barrier

LOOKS good

how much did it cost to put insulation?

I've been waiting to see this done. Comparing prices now for my new Garage.

did it form any mold behind the insulation?

From one Coffey to another great job Where Coffey Customs in east KY
