Insulating My Post Frame Shop - 1

[@prairiecarpenter546]

Have your hands full for awhile with that. Nice and clean looking those first couple pieces!

Oh, it's going to take some time to do this project. I'll draft in a friend or two along the way. Hoping to bring in Erick the Dutchman into the scene (probably not possible given he's as busy with the next generation like you).

Thank you so much this is the only video that can help me and I really need to install some in my room because it gets really cold😂

[@TheWoodlandReboot]

Good luck with your project!

[@anthonyb1426]

What are those fasteners called sir and where did you get them?

[@brianbvachek3219]

Mind if i ask where you ordered your insulation from?! Looks good!

[@TheWoodlandReboot]

A company in the Ottawa area called Crossroads C&I (crossroadsci.com). I believe they have several offices/locations across Canada.

Do you have a vapor barrier between the metal and insulation?

[@joeyrodriguez2809]

Good Question

[@TheWoodlandReboot]

The building is wrapped and the metal is on the outside of the wrap ... insulation on the inside of the wrap. The vapour barrier is the white facing you see on the insulation. I followed the advice of two building contractors and the company that sold me the insulation. I'm in a similar climate region to RR Buildings and they insulate using a similar procedure.

How long did it take to insulate all the walls? I'm building the same size post frame.

[@chuckspencer2703]

What kind of insulation is that?

[@TheWoodlandReboot]

It is 6" fibre glass insulation with a vapour barrier backing.

Where did you buy the rolls of insulation? P.S. Cutting the insulation with a machete makes it 10x easier versus a razor blade.

[@TheWoodlandReboot]

I started using a pull saw now to cut the insulation. This could be the slowest insulation install ever. I purchased the insulation from a company called CCI (Crossroads C&I). They have a production facility in the Ottawa area as well as a couple other cities in Canada.

[@pepsicityhomebuilding9752]

And the cheapest way

[@TheWoodlandReboot]

Bang on!
