Barn Improvement

[Stanton]

Since building my barn a few years ago, I had planned on getting some galvanized tin and covering the walls. That way I could create sparks from grinding and welding in the corner without worry of catching something on fire.

Before…

My neighbor had told me he was going to tear down his tin-covered barn several years ago, but just got to it. Gave me a huge stack of tin. Well, today was the day.

After…

…with tools in place.

.

Think it turned out good.

Oh yeah, I like it!!!!

Yup. Looks good.

I did the same thing in our shop to keep things from knocking the exterior panels loose or holes in them.

[Stanton]

Thanks. Think I have enough tin to cover up to the first girt all around the barn.

Not to long ago I was welding a panel on my truck and it had a double panel so I thought I was good.
The other panel had a tiny bolt hole in it and a spark found it way thru to light the carpeting on fire.
Tin or no tin I’d hand a welding blanket between it and the sparks that fly.

That’s a fine barn and working area Mr. Stanton. I can imagine that you will have some Red paint left over from a a previous project that will look great on the tin. .

No red paint intended for that area. Nice idea, but I'll pass on that.
