It is always easiest to have your pole barn builders in West Virginia insulate your barn for you during construction. However, if your barn has already been built and you need to insulate it, don’t worry. An unfinished pole barn can often be insulated quickly and without too much hassle. Consider the following suggestions to get your barn or post-frame building insulated fast.
#1 – Choose the Type of Insulation You Want to Install
The most common types of pole barn insulation include spray foam, fiberglass batts, fiberglass rolls, extruded polystyrene (XPS), and reflective foam core insulation. Insulation products vary widely in cost, efficiency, and difficulty to install. The best product for your barn may not be the same as your neighbor’s.
#2 – Measure
Before purchasing insulation materials, you need to measure very carefully. Accurate measurements will ensure you purchase the right amount of insulation and avoid complicated return transactions and trips to the hardware store. If your barn was built recently, you may want to use the building diagram your custom post frame builders in West Virginia used for construction. Most diagrams (or blueprints) should be very accurate.
#3 – Purchase
After determining the style and quantity of insulation you need, you will need to purchase it. Many larger hardware stores will deliver large purchases directly to your address.

#4 – Prepare Your Building
Before installing insulation, your building needs to be clean and dry. Any leaks in the walls or roof need to be repaired as well. Dirty and moisture trapped behind insulation can quickly produce rust.
#5 – Get to Work
After your building is sealed, clean, and dry, you can start the installation process. We strongly recommend you follow the manufacturer’s recommendations or hire a qualified contractor to do the installation for you. Most insulation installation jobs don’t take long if you know what you are doing.
#6 – Consider Hiring an Insulation Contractor
Certain types of insulation, like spray foam, are best installed by a contractor specializing in insulation.
