Very nice.

I wish I could have gotten a 9’ door. I went 8’ and the ROPS just barely squeaks in. But it does keep the bigger riff-raff out. ;) (Brother’s big JD.)

I wish i had paid more attention when they were putting up the doors, the roll ups were actually 10x10s and i could have had the one more in the middle made a full 10ft. I wanted at least 9 or the tractor with canopy would not fit in 8ft. I am wanting to cover the inside with osb , but not at 33 dollars a sheet. I picked up 50 sheets of the old blackboard at lowes a while back for a buck a sheet. It will have to do for now.

I would suggest some sort of faced insulation to control condensation.

You'll get a lot of good use from this building for sure!!!

I am considering that on the ceiling or spray foam. I called to get a quote on foam and got no reply. I think there is 2 ft between the purlins and thought about cutting 4x8 sheets in half and sliding them in between . What do you think?

To prevent condensation the insulating material needs to be pressed against the skin metal. Then faced to help stop air flow.

On days like today, my bare metal machine shed sweats and drips. I'll have dust/drip spots on my equipment in line with the purlins.

Meant to mention spray foam. that's definitely the best way to stop condensation if you can afford it. Pricey, but effective.

Spray foam will also make that building strong as steel.
