Ok guys, I'm having a new metal building put up its 28x30 with 12 foot walls and a 4/12 pitch roof.
How would you insulate it if it was yours? Spray foam or foam boards? or? What does the square footage come out to be for the walls and celling for insulation purposes?

Just under 2500SF. I'm partial to 1 1/2" spray foam to fill the gaps on the out side walls and ceiling. then run plumbing and electrical. Finish with batts. This....
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

I got a quote to have mine spray foamed. It was 6 thousand for 1 inch thick foam. This is for a 40 x 60 with 11 foot side walls. The building cost 32 thousand including concrete.

Just use foam to fill gaps like the can of foam then bats? I think the studs are 2 inch square tubing. No, spray the whole interior, so the entire wall and ceiling space has an even covering. I guess it depends on whether or not you are going to finish the walls with shething.
