Bob,

bumping up to 2x6 for a garage is waste of timber.


Unless you plan to use the garage as a workshop, in which case 2x6
construction allows you to install more insulation. I used 2x6 framing with
R19 insulation in our garage and have never regretted it.

True...but did OP say where the garage is located?
Insulation makes sense for conditioned space.

In most of SoCal insulating a garage is waste of time & money. In
the desert (high or low) or the mountains...... insulation is worth
it.

cheers
