Question about Metal Polebarns, and power hammers???

[Danny D]

I bet if you get the spray on insulation on the inside that would deaden it up real good.

[ThomasPowers]

I would want any of the foam insulations where a hot piece of metal might hit them, even the ones treated to not burn still give off nasty stuff when hot.

When I say foam, I mean sheet foam insulation. This is ( as Thomas notes ) nasty stuff when it gets hot stuff on it. Where there may be contact with hot stuff, I would just nail ( screw whatever ) some drywall over it. Light furring strips will hold sheet foam.

I have the sheet foam on the inside of my outer walls, Haven't had any problems. It's easy to install and takes water and flying objects well.

Well the animals are staying, but I have to build her a new barn for them, we think it will be cheaper to build her a new barn than to build me a new shop. As far as spray on insulation, I don't think so I have heard it is expensive. I am doing this on the cheap, as much recycled materials and cheap or free as I can. I think Thomas's idea of trees around the shop will help some. But I suspect that the noise it going travel a bit, and that I will need to watch how late I forge in the summer when the neighbors windows will be open. Though my wife can sleep through me forging right now and the shop is 10' from the house:-) I suppose it is very much like living right next to the train tracks;-) after a few years you get used to it...

It varies from each municipality so for america there are probably 50,000 answers.

I'm out in the country and the unwritten law is "don't annoy your neighbors".

In the city in OH I used to live in there was a "reasonable" noise law that went from around 8 am till 10 pm but there is also a noise ordinance that limited loud noises at any time---measurement being done at the property line.

Now these ordinaces also depended on if your area was zoned industrial or residential as well.
