I definitely like seeing these videos, Brandon. Here in Ohio, I had closed cell foam insulation sprayed in my shop. 4" in the roof and 2" on the walls. That left me room to run electricity behind the plywood walls. It worked great for our cold winters. Take care and be safe. Bill
Great video can’t wait to see it all done and to see how you set up your work shop maybe you can make a video of you set it up and explain why you’re setting it up that way anyways great video keep them coming
Thanks for the video. For the insulation experts out there, I’m curious if “some insulation is better than no or less insulation”. To clarify my question, I have a similar steel building project that I am working on and am currently putting up foam board insulation from the floor up 8’ and then will frame walls and install tongue and groove 3/4” plywood. There is the contractor installed insulation that is installed between the girts/purlins and the steel panels and I am adding the foam board over this to up the R-value. Right now I do not plan to put foam panels the rest of the way up the walls (I might later on) and definitely am not going to try to add them to my ceiling. Can I expect any better results if only part of the building has increased R-value? Thanks.
I had to do a similar gap for my attic insulation and what worked great was just ripping thin strips of insulation and using foamboard adhesive to tack those into the sides, then doing the same for the full piece over the top. So there is no chance the board moves or closes the gap
Best is to do it yourself with like thin strips of wood added/glued to your metal and then putting it over it so it has an air gap between the metal and it should work how its suppose to. The installers just attach it to the frame.

I just had a metal shop installed. Your video gives me great ideas.
Awesome!!
I like your type of videos. Thank you
I like the way you are leaving air gap between the insulation layers it will pay off.
Definitely enjoy these type of videos mate.
Appreciate the support!
Lots of work. Happy for ya
Not a bad idea, hope it works for ya! Just subscribed. You got a good attitude young fella😊
Great video can’t wait to see it all done and to see how you set up your work shop maybe you can make a video of you set it up and explain why you’re setting it up that way anyways great video keep them coming
I plan to do a shop tour when it's all set up. 👍
Great work...
Hello…wondering after some years. How did the insulation hold up?
Id recommend the foil facing out so your air gap is larger.

Brandon, how well does the reflective ceiling insulation quite down the noise from rain on the metal roof?

That's a great idea.
I have a steel garage in South Florida can I just install foam against metal studs
No foam to seal?
Would you do the thin insulation at build time again or just skip it and do the foam board?

Air gap is important but don't forget AIR SEALING.
