I recently constructed a pole building and want to finish part of the inside to use as a shop area. Does anyone know of a good source for 2" 4x8 foam and 10' corrugated metal. I would consider seconds. If someone knows a better way to finish off the inside of a pole building I would appreciate any input. Thank you.

Thanks Bob and Rick for your input. I do plan to use white metal everywhere but the welding area. Did you guys put your wiring in conduit on the outside or did you put it in underneath the wall covering next to the purlins? I'm leaning hard towards putting mine in conduit attached to the outside.

We ran ours in conduit on the inside so we would have clean walls. It doesn't make too much difference as long as you have plenty of boxes.

When we built my Father in Laws shop we used Tuff-R, the foam board with aluminum covering thinking it would reflect the light for a brighter shop. After 6 months we replaced it with plywood covered with white panels. The white made the shop a lot brighter.

If you are planning to do much welding, use light blue or gray from the floor up to at least 8' on the walls. These colors suck up welding flash much better than others, and still reflect your lighting sources well.

If you are going to use steel on the ceiling, use perforated for sound deading, other wise you will think that you are in a cave.

Thanks Dusty,
I didn't think of that. Makes good sense. My arc gun emits noise in the 114Db range. It would be like being in a cave with a jumbo jet. I should probably put up dry wall or acoustic tile on the ceiling.

Steve, have you heard of cementitious backer board? Around my area it goes by the name of Durock or wonderboard. Although it is made as an underlayment product for ceramic tile, it has outstanding thermal properties regarding high heat and flammability,especially when you finish the seams between sheets with thinset mortar as recommended by the manufacturer. Because it is made from cement, it also has good acoustic properties, and it takes paint very well. It also seems to stand up to impact much better than steel and it is electrically non-conductive. It`s an all around excellent product for a welding shop. Another place it works well is under the catalytic converter of any vehicle parked on a wood floor, such as the second story of many barns. In my area, it`s also cheaper, per sq ft, than painted steel.
