Mike- finannly you chime in on this thread. Haha... I was mentioning your place back on like page 5. You do have THE set up my man. Congrats on the new purchase.

Started new shop / garage / shed. Need to get wifes car in the garage!! The nova, snowmobiles and lawnmower are moving out. Shed is 24x32, just started prepping for floor epoxy system. wiring next then insulate and drywall. any ideas how to insulate and make fire retardant for welding other then drywall?

metal siding inside looked good in a shop I was in recently, race car fab shop so lots of cutting and welding. Seemed to be holding up very well

Sheet metal the wall that will work fine

I was thinking that when I was going to build a pole barn but I plan to move and hope to take the shed with. I need to find out is metal is cheaper then drywall

Heck of a lot lighter if you plan to move it although more costly upfront I believe. (metal)
Looks nice. I'm getting ready to put a pole building, having some sticker shock. Lol

24x32 as pictured, vinyl siding, two overhead doors, one man door and 3 windows, $11K all in. I build houses and could not do it for that

Yeah I was dreaming big 40 x 48, 25 for insulated shell, add doors, floor, electric, and ouch!

The last time I checked the http://www.nationalbarn.com/ website; they had 40x80 specials for what I paid for my 30x60 several years ago.

http://www.pioneerpolebuildings.com/ is who built mine, and I beat them down to meet NationalBarn's price.

The nice thing about a pole barn construction is you can pace your investment.
I did a lot of the site work myself, but hired a contractor to level the site and fill it in (ground was swampy).
I had Pioneer build the barn turnkey.
I sourced and had the garage doors installed locally.
I went back and had a buddy/OSO member pour the concrete a few years later.
I did all of the nearly all of the electrical work myself including trenching the supply line from the house 800 feet (with a borrowed skid-steer and rented trencher implement).

Roxul insulation is fire proof also moisture proof I used it in my basement.
