you don't really need to use a wrap (weather resistant barrier) unless you are going to insulate and try to heat or cool it.
You should still overlap and flash everything so water runs down and out. If you put good siding on rotten siding, it will eventually rot too. If it's dry and stable, you could go over it. |

Find someone that buys siding material by the roll, and forms it themselves. They can cut it to your exact length. Bubble wrap insulation is cheap, and it will keep the roof from dripping with condensation after the ground inside the building gets cold, and the air gets warm and humid. Also, if you get the white bubble wrap, it helps a lot with the lighting.

Quote HistoryQuoted: hardy plank and foam insulation My neighbor had his hangar insulated with foam. An unexpected down side of it is that it turned it into an echo chamber. The acoustics are so bad, it's hard to have a conversation unless your standing close together. Forget about enjoying some music while you work. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: that is very oddm we have been using open cell foam around here since 98 and it deadens sound I was surprised. It's not covered with anything, and the sprayed the roof, too. Maybe it's because they laid it on thick. You can't see the girts or purlins at all. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: they spray the bottom of the roof in metal buildings here just for that The bottom of the roof is sprayed. No idea. We had a get-together in there with about ten people, and it was unbearable. We had to open the hangar door to kill the echo. It was a cacophony of voices. |

Rough cut 1x has lasted 30 + years on my grand daddy's barn. Wood id great just need good roof over hang to keep water off. You could go 4 ft up with tin to give it extra water proof zone. It's funny to see everyone looking super new high tech materials when low tech barns lasting 100 years or more.

Wood would probably be MUCH more expensive. Especially now. |

I was looking through my materials for the barn, I might have enough left to start covering the shop. So if I could get more of the same metal sheets, at a decent price, I will just go that route.
Right now, I should have enough to cover the one side with the garage door, and partially cover the ends. With metal siding, could I just house wrap over the old wood siding, add ribs to attach the metal to, and call it good? Also, any advice with oxidized/ rusted galvanized roof? The same shop has one side of the roof that is badly oxidized. There are no visible holes. Are there products to stop the rust and make it paintable? |
