We built the shop a few years ago and the roof and walls have the 1" insulation and I would like to start adding to the "R" value of the building. I was thinking it would be best to reduce the ceiling height so save the heat for the area that is needed. The bottom of the rafter is 10' and there are lights hanging down about a foot from them. I was thinking I seen some kid of rolled plastic insulation that you run between the rafters (4' apart). I can run some cross braces and it would be easy to put up by myself and I could add more insulation above it. What is the name of this stuff to look it up to get pricing. Also where is a good place to get this type of product? The building has a double wall (outside wall is the metal, 1" insulation then ス 4x8 particle board. Then a 4" gap and another particle board wall) so I figure I can easily blow insulation in there later on after the roof is done.
Does this sound like it would work? I need to keep the cost down and be able to easily do it by myself. I have a 150K propane hanging heater (with vent) in there and it keeps it warm but runs more than I figure it needs to. We mostly don't get below 0 and if we do it is only for a short time. Most 20-30's in the winter.
Thanks in advance!!
