Storage building
Hi
Wanted to check wall design before going ahead on storage building I plan on building.
The building will be a 40 X 64 X 14 and will be heated in the future. Although I don’t except this building to be super energy efficient, with a 12′ x 16′ garage door. I would like to try and due my best at making it as good as possible.
So wall from inside out is :
Drywall
2 x 6 studs filled with Roxul R22
7/16 OSB sheathing taped ( air barrier?)
3″ rigid Polyiso with paper-fiberglass face ( used from roofing)
Tyvek taped ( WRB)
1 x 4 strapping horizontal (rain screen)
Board and Batten vinyl siding
Any problems with this set-up??
Thanks

Dave,
No problems with your plans. (In fact, the walls of your storage building will be much better insulated than the walls of most houses in your climate zone.)
Thanks , feels better knowing that the plan should work.
Now only if they could come up with a better garage door!!!
I'd consider shifting some cost to improving the door. Maybe including the "Green Hinge System". Or only heating as needed with fast responding radiant heat?
I will look into the Green Hinge, Thanks .
I will be buying as a good a door as I can budget. Although I know the R-values are over rated and all still leak.
As for heating I going to to put 4" under-slab insulation then PEX in the floor but only because you can't do it after, . Not sure if this will be my source of heating or something else, or combination of both.
