New shop ideas and tips

[biglentil]

Snap on 15 inch tin strip skirt around bottom, sprayfoam entire wall and skirt min of 2 inches thick. Concrete butts up to the top of the insulated skirt creating an important thermal break. Sprayfoam well worth it on the walls imo keeps the tin rigid and eliminates air infiltration. Accoustical caulk between the plies of the post as they can leak. Versaframe has best pricing on custom cut tin imo. I had my posts wrapped in blueskin 24 inches below ground and 12 inches above to give me some peace of mind that the posts won't rot off in my lifetime.

Oh ya and remember to remind the crew to install the gable vents. They like too forget.

We are thinking of building a pole shed shop , insulated and tin on the inside and outside . 18 ' ceiling , bifold on gable, overhead door on the side. I am wondering if anyone has any tips , good ideas, things that really worked out well , things you did that you couldn't live without , etc . ? I realize the pole shed design is not as good as a frame building and nowhere near what a steel one will be but it is quite a cost savings and will definitely outlast us with no one coming behind us . Also if anyone has a pole shed building , ideas for the cement floor against the building ? Thanks in advance !
