| I have a 27' x 23' metal building that I am finally inclosing and putting up a 16x10 garage door. The metal "studs" are spaced 4 ft. I was thinking of installing � osb laying it horizontal then laying peg board for the next 4ft up. Do you think the 4 ft spacing of the metal "studs" is going to be a problem? Also if I decide to add insulation could someone give me advice on what type. I plan on doing a small area at a time. I live in the south so my main concern is keeping it from becoming an oven in the summer. Thanks for your advice. |

| I would install 2x4s horizontally and on the flat, 18" OC, accross the metal studs to attach the osb. Styrofoam panels in the cavities can be used for insulation. A big concern there is the reflectivity of the roofing and good ventilation. |

| Thanks for the help. Should i just put one styrofoam panel in each cavity and if so should i press it up against the outside wall? Thanks |

| More is better, and I wouldn't want it too looose in there. |
