Hello Guys
I am new to this forum. Here is my situation. I live in Northern, MN. I have a 30x60 pole barn. It is not insulated. I am in the process of insulating the walls and need a little help. I am on a very tight budget and the building is not something that I will be using all the time, only an hour here or there in the winter. The walls are built like this:
1. Outside - Metal Panels -
2. Wood framing (girts? horizontal) attached to 4x6 posts
That's it. I am thinking of simply fitting Expanded Polystyrene Insulation (sytrofoam) inbetween the horizontal girts and then finishing it with drywall. I am wondering if I will have a problem with moisture as the insulation will most likely be in contact with the metal. I do not have the money to buy foam or framing to put up batts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Steve
