This is what the inside of my new garage looked like from 2 angles when "completed": http://bernd.felsche.org/tech/garage/dscf0042s.jpg http://bernd.felsche.org/tech/garage/dscf0046s.jpg The wire mesh holding the foil-side of the insulation between columns and purlins is called "safety mesh". Designed to cut falling construction workers into convenient, rectangular chunks. :-) The wire is screwed down and edges tied together before positioning the blanket. Once it's done, you have about 400 metres of wire from which to hang small tools, calendars, etc. Just bend up some fencing wire to hook behind the safety mesh. You can see an example in the first picture with a can of touch-up paint apparently perched on a purlin, half-way along the wall. There's a loose wire loop around the can, forming a "holster". You can still screw ply panels to the columns and purlins where you need them, but you don't have to line the lot. In areas where you tend to do grinding, I suggest screwing some thin galv sheet to the wall. The aluminium backing foil on the insulation is fairly hefty, but it won't stand up to a steady stream of hot metal. -- /"\ Bernd Felsche - Innovative Reckoning, Perth, Western Australia \ / ASCII ribbon campaign | For every complex problem there is an X against HTML mail | answer that is clear, simple, and wrong. / \ and postings | --HL Mencken

Looks like a good solution and I'll definitely be looking into it. -- Regards, Noddy. |
