Thanks for posting your build. I'm in Comal county Texas. Went with a local Texas company for my build. 24' by 26' with 12' walls. My slab was $11,500. I have a lot that drops down to the creek, and there are rocks the size of cars buried in the ground. 25 yards of concrete. Building should be delivered by feb. Went with a 10 by 8 traditional garage door.
Looks awesome. That is basically the same garage I will be getting installed on Monday. Same size, two rollup doors, side door. Long processes, ordered mine back in July 2021. Saw your cost breakdown in the previous video. My slab was twice yours, so I think I'm a few more grand into just the garage then you were. My brother is telling me I need to insulate, so looking around at what people are doing.
That’s awesome… Yeah I’m super happy with everything. I’m quite sure materials have gone up in general so I assume it would be a little bit more… but I’m Really happy with every everything
Yes they make/sell them and they seem super easy to install… Because this is in my backyard a lot of times I just leave the bay door open so there’s no plans for them as of now maybe in the future
Does your area get much snow? If you used 1/2" plywood for the ceiling and also foam board you have decreased your snow loading by a good 3-4lbs per square foot. That's an awful lot of weight to suspend from a steel tube ceiling. The foam board isn't a big deal, but that plywood needs to be accounted for. One good option is foam acoustic tiles, which are much lighter than plywood. It looks fantastic, but I just hope you don't get big dumps of snow on occasion, like we do here in the PacNW.
For snow load concerns, make sure you spec the studs and rafters on 4' centers. This will help to offset the added weight of the plywood. For your location, it might be all that is offered. Something else it helps with, is installing insulation and finishing it out. I have a similar building, mine are on 5' centers, if I had it to do over, I would have spec'd 4' centers, AND the bubble foil insulation. Having it put on at time of install is extremely helpful, well worth the extra cost.
Awesome build man! Thanks for documenting and posting. Love your videos. You’ve inspired me to basically do the same thing. I have a couple questions… what thickness plywood did you use for walls? Were the 3 horizontal 1x4’s enough to keep the walls feeling solid? How come you used 2x4 for the frame on the roof instead of continuing the 1x4s like the walls? Thanks again! I’m basically using your videos as a “how to” for everything I’m doing!
Well I built this during Covid so I used what was available at the time it’s only half inch plywood but it’s worked perfectly fine… I would do the thickest that you can afford if you plan on mounting things directly to the wall The one by fours were plenty on the side walls obviously just keep in mind it’s only giving you that 3/4 of an inch to screw into but I found that it was fine… I went with two by fours on the ceiling because I needed that larger gap between the plywood and the insulation for my recessed lights
Your last video had $12.4k in metal building, permits, plans, and foundation. What's the cost breakdown (or total) for Electrical, insulation, plywood, ceiling wood, light fixturing. If it was mostly DIY and 80% labor 20% materials, maybe a rough estimate on labor. I'm trying to put a rough estimate together for my own metal building and yours is a great example to go off of. Just need to know how much money and time to budget/expect.
It’s really hard to say or compare what it will cost you. I got 70% of the plywood on Facebook marketplace at a very discounted price No, if you’re buying your plywood from a big box store like Home Depot… I would just go online with your square footage and try to price it out with the material you want to use. Materials in general are much more expensive right now than they were when I did most of this work my electrical which included all wiring and outlets ran me about $350 plus an additional $200 for lighting. Insulation cost me around $600
I immediately subscribed to your channel. You gave me insights into my build. If I plan on installing solar panels on my metal sheet roof - does the roof need to be weight bearing so men can walk on the roof?
I would get that kind of info from the building company… But these guys walked all over the metal supports for the roof to put the roof material on with no problems
Amazing job. Mine is 20x20 and going to basically go the same route as you with insulation board but I'll be doing dry wall instead. Any chance you can go a little more in detail on how you connected the corners? Also what did you do to get rid of AC loss above the roll up doors? That gap. Thanks.
For the corners I mounted 2 x 2 studs on each side of the corner beam where the wood would meet… Vertically up-and-down that corner post… As far as the AC loss haven’t fully addressed it yet because I don’t have the air conditioning system but what I plan on doing aside from those garage door brush seals that they sell I will most likely be cutting out of foam insert that I can simply drop down in that top gap behind the rollup door and wedge it so that it’s nice and snug and prevents hair loss it will be some thing I obviously have to test
This looks great! I am considering doing something similar in my metal building on the ceilings. Just curious if you have had any issues with sagging or bending of any of the roof or ceiling with the added weight?
Haven’t done another update yet… Only major change is that i added an industrial size oscillating wall mount shop fan that pushes around a ton of air to keep it a little cooler… overall, everything is working, great… And it’s super functional… At some point I still plan on adding a mini split
You’re a beast man! Nice work. I’ve done some framing so I know a 4x8 sheet of plywood balanced on one hand going up a ladder is no easy task. Are those recessed lights some kinda low profile? What was your clearance there? Again nice job
Thanks man I appreciate it! Lol… Yeah I think these had around and inch and a half/2 inch profile which is perfect because I have a 2 x 4+ sheathing amount of clearance between the insulation and sheathing if that makes sense
FINALLY! After watching so many metal building videos, I came across yours. Not only is your building the same size as mine, but you're also in FL as am I (Orlando area). All my questions about temp reduction, condensation and installation have been answered either by your vids or by the comments. You may have a near identical shop as yours in a year or so. Love the plywood ceiling and the black trim. One question I have is what temp do you estimate the inside to be when it's 95 outside? Also, do you think if I did 2" foam board that there would be enough space to still have air flow keep things dry? Moisture is my biggest concern as I have lots of woodworking tools that rust easily. Great stuff!!
I guess I’d say on average there’s usually about a good 10° difference in the shop from the outside temperature and keep in mind my doors are not insulated or completely sealed… I definitely think going with 2 inch foam board if you plan on having an air conditioning system on a lot in the shop would make a big difference and still leave an air gap that would keep everything good.
I'm in Orlando as well. I'm thinking about the same setup, but with closed cell spray foam. I have woodworking, but also a print shop that I need to climate control.
The steel frame is plenty strong to hold drywall or plywood, but I was fortunate enough that there are hundreds of people that have done something similar over the years with no issues
Thank you so much for answering! I’m in a pickle at the moment because I’m doing the dame as you and my engineer said I need to hire a architect so they can figure out the dead load of the walls. I thought that a metal building should be able to hold the weight of insulation,framing and drywall??? Do you think I’ll be okay without getting an architect and just trust that the 14 gauge metal framing will hold? Please help me!🙏🏽😂😭
@@simplysimona4562 well, I am in no way a professional, so I wouldn’t want to give you technical advice… If anything, the plywood walls are adding more rigid support to the structure, the way that it’s all connected with this building I did not go through permitting to build out the interior I just did the structure itself so that would be some thing you would have to ask someone that’s more qualified.
Thanks for sharing all your plans, updates and the finished product on your garage project...amazing job!! What product did you use to seal your concrete floor? I heard you say Eagle coat, but can you advise specifically which Eagle coat product you used?
hows the shop holding up insulation wise. happy you went with the foam board? any thing you would have done differently? about to do mine a trying to decice spray foam ($$) or Foam board DIY. thnaks in advance. shop looks great
I think it kind of depends on what area you live in and what you will be doing with the space for me here in Tampa Florida. It works well. I always see about a good 10° difference from the outside. I have not added the mini split yet but I do have a portable AC and if I keep everything closed up, it does cool down enough to be comfortable overall especially when considering the price difference I’m very happy you just have to be really good about the foam board install and sealing your gaps, etc.
Also, if I did it over again, I would just go ahead and try to get 2 inch foam board to give me the best result at the time with Covid and everything I just didn’t have it available
yea im in south louisiana so probably the same heat conditions, looking to do woord work brew beer and hang out, work out in it. i have a 220v window unit i was going to put in it @@The_Heights
Great video. I really liked your building so much I went with the same size and color. I just have one garage door. I’m getting started on the inside and I have 2 questions. Is the motorcycle on the wall nailed into the steel frame? Do you think the wood framing you added can hold a 70 inch tv mounted? Thanks for posting you videos again they really helped.
Thanks! The brackets holding the shelf that the motorcycle sits on are attached directly to the steel frame of the building… As far as a TV absolutely the framing would hold the TV I have plans for something similar next to my gym set up👍🏼
How is the temperature now with the insulation? My shop is in clearwater but it doesnt have any insulation and gets hotter than hell. Your build als covinved the other half to let me get a metal building.
Hey… It’s def a little bit cooler on its own with the insulation and radiant barrier but the exhaust fan and fans in general significantly decrease the temperatures also I did it so that when the time comes and I put the mini split in everything will be more efficient
I have everything already run to add a mini split above the workbench on the back wall but I have not done that yet… I do still plan on doing it I’m just not in a rush at the moment
i know its been two years, but i just finished my metal shop walls and now moving to ceiling. What screw, self taping, metal or what did you use to go through the 2x4 to the metal studs?
Can’t remember the exact size screws, but they were just metal self tapping screws, but I pre-drilled the holes in the wood before putting in each screw so it didn’t bind up
Hows the insulation working out for you? We just put up a 24x35 in Clermont, and had the roof decking sprayfoamed. Thinking about doing the same foam board for the walls.
It’s been great I definitely notice a difference when the temperatures are either cooler or warmer inside the shop I only used 1 inch foam board obviously if you go with the 2 inch board you’ll probably get even better results but this is working great for me
I went with 8 x 9’ doors, so far everything is great Definitely seems to help out I’ll know a lot more when the summer rolls around… Hope to have air-conditioning by then
When mounting the 1 by 4“ x 10‘ boards to the actual metal beams of the building I used 2 inch long quarter inch thick self tapping metal screws but I pre-drilled each hole with a metal drill bit first using a smaller drillbit to start the process if that makes sense… The plywood itself mounted directly to the 1 by 4 inch boards, so simple 1 inch wood screws worked fine
Congrats man, it turned out great! Please share the details on the replacement window for the walk-thru door. I can't seem to figure out what I need to get. Also, just an FYI - a "traditional style" garage door opener mounted vertically works great on these roll-up doors! Here's a link to my setup - th-cam.com/video/vOwg3C2q5Kk/w-d-xo.html
Thanks… I appreciate it. Yeah I’ve seen the traditional style garage doors openers used… Seems to work great. It’s a metal door so really any traditional style window will work just going to need to make the appropriate size cut out that was just a little cheap thrift store window I will probably replace it with a sliding window in the future 👍🏼
Ok, that garage door opener idea...never would have thought of it. I didn't want typical garage door because I don't want to lose head space when the doors are open, or block the shop lights. I plan on converting my current 1 car garage once this metal one is built so I will have the garage door opener to use. Did you have plans or anything you got from somewhere?
@@philipherring582 I actually saw a couple of other folks do the same thing on TH-cam. The actual plan and install is very easy. I just laid everything out on the floor and measured everything twice.
I assume you’re talking about the angled support posts for the roof?… I measured how far out off the wall the support landed where it would hit the plywood and then measured from left or right off of one of the sidewalls and it gave me a spot where I would need to notch out the plywood if that makes sense
@@CS-hd9xu oh! I gotcha… If you use a 2 x 8 in between the garage door spacing flush with the front of the building that gives you enough space for the garage door to come all the way down to the ground and have a lift so water can’t come up into your building
Finally found what I am going to do with my ceiling thank you
I just saved this video for my future metal barn.
Thanks for sharing!
Glad I could help!
Just found my future build man. Thanks for the inspiration. Ceiling is my favorite portion.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Wow… that looks fantastic! Great job!!! 👏
Thank you! Cheers!

This looks sick. Paint those roof gussets black and it’ll tie everything together.
Looks beautiful 👏🏻💯
Looks great, I’m gonna do something similar once the county approves my plan. Only thing I would add would be to box out the exposed braces with wood.
I’ve since painted them white and they basically disappear into the walls now
This is coming along nicely! You’ve done a great job!
Thanks i appreciate it!
Very nice👍🏿
Should paint the galvanized frames that are showing black! Would look awesome. Looks good
Great Job. We are moving back to Florida soon and I want to build a metal building woodworking shop. Your finish is exactly what I am looking for!!
Nice ! Definitely a great option in my opinion
Wow! Awesome Job! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love it!!! I’ve been waiting!! Thank you so mich
I highly recommend installing a ceiling fan. It will circulate the air and will save you tons when running the split unit
Definitely something I planned I’m looking into… I appreciate the info
that's fqn nice,great job!!!
Thanks I appreciate it
Great job! Looks amazing
I'm building mine based off of yours. Great job man
Thanks man, super happy with mine 👍🏼
nice and entertaining 🤔... I never thought to do that. I think I may do it.🤑thanks for the video. Very inspiring. #KapKen
Glad to hear it !
Awesome!!! Thanks for the information.
Any time!
Nice. I'm working with the city on a permit for a similar building.
Good luck that was my least favorite part 😏
Hey Love The Shop what insulation did you use? Do you have any condensation issues?
Great work! Is it possible to add openers on this style of overhead door? If so, any plans to do so?
Yes they make/sell them and they seem super easy to install… Because this is in my backyard a lot of times I just leave the bay door open so there’s no plans for them as of now maybe in the future

What is the black trim you used on the ceiling plywood
It’s just regular 1x6” lumber painted
Sorry to bother you man. What size/type screws did you for the 1 by 4 by 10 and also for the 4 by 8 plywood. Thanks bro
When mounting the 1 by 4“ x 10‘ boards to the actual metal beams of the building I used 2 inch long quarter inch thick self tapping metal screws but I pre-drilled each hole with a metal drill bit first using a smaller drillbit to start the process if that makes sense… The plywood itself mounted directly to the 1 by 4 inch boards, so simple 1 inch wood screws worked fine

I assume you’re talking about the angled support posts for the roof?… I measured how far out off the wall the support landed where it would hit the plywood and then measured from left or right off of one of the sidewalls and it gave me a spot where I would need to notch out the plywood if that makes sense
@@The_Heights I was talking about the concrete grooves so that water would not come in the building
@@CS-hd9xu oh! I gotcha… If you use a 2 x 8 in between the garage door spacing flush with the front of the building that gives you enough space for the garage door to come all the way down to the ground and have a lift so water can’t come up into your building
@@The_Heights thanks
Can you tell me if it's 12 gage still
Yes i believe it is I’d have to double check but I think so
