How do you insulate between barn rafters metal roof with lathe to keep it from sweating so you can make a living space there?
You could have foam sprayed on the underneath side. The rafters are probably 3 or 4 feet apart so you can't use regular fiberglass insulation unless you add rafters. You can glue rigid foam panels to the strips. The roof sweats because the air inside comes in contact with it. Any insulation and a vapor barrier should stop this from happening.
How do you find out how much insulation you will need in your shop that is 8 feet 10 inches tall and 14 feet x 24 feet?
Unfortunately that is not enough information. Is it built with 2x4 walls? 2x6? 2x8? 16 inch on centers? 24 inch on centers? Is there an attic? Trusses, flat roof with 2x10 rafters? If there is an attic you will be well insulated if you use blown-in cellulose. You will need about 300 cubic feet of blown in cellulose for an attic. If it's 2x10 rafters you will need about 336 square feet of 2x10 insulation blankets that are the width of the space between your rafters. If it's 24 inch on center rafters, you will need 24 inch blankets. You will need about 660 square feet of insulation for the walls, less the area of the doors and windows. Again, if it's 24 inch on center 2x6 walls, get the appropriate insulation blankets.
