Insulating my pole barn ceiling

[kayssupply]

I got a deal on a lift like that. I just couldn't make myself put it up. I had a car fall from a very stable old fashion lift. All the weight balanced on those two uprights, I just couldn't do it.

Gene,

What is your ceiling height if you know offhand ?

I'd like to put in a twin post lift like that someday ....

I'll be at 11 1/2' finished ceiling height once the slab is poured

I got lucky with my celling, bought the house with the
unfinished barn, after 5 inches of concrete and my celling
I'm still at 12 ft. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
The lift I have requires 11ft 11inches.
But there are sevral to choose from that will work with a 11.5
Whats nice is with the top beam all the cables are up out of the
way rather than a skid plate on the floor covering the cables.
I got mine down in Indy have a look here...

If you do not intend to finish the ceiling, nail chicken wire to hold fiberglass insulation. Lay the plastic part of the insulation facing downward.

Instead of drywall, I put 7/16" OSB on the walls and ceiling,
then blew in insulation. The OSB gives it a nice rustic look, plus
it allows you to hang things anywhere you want without having to find the studs.

I'd seriously look at the spray in Icynene product. You can see a video of it in action here. It leaves no voids whatsoever.
