I did not find that picture until today way after I posted the
question.

Yeah, just like you didn't ask the group if 4' centers were a good idea
until after you'd built the building. Why ask if you've already made up
your mind?

I was not asked. A guy quoted me a price for the building and I had
him build it. The discussion of truss placement never came up because
at the time I was not sure what I was goign to do to the inside
eventually.



A suspended metal grid system with 1" 24X48" fiberglass panels weighs
very little-I made my own out of 48X96 X1" rigid fiberglass--don't use
the celotex type of panels--Heavy , and they sag with age--esp. if they
get wet. even with 6" batts The whole thing doesn't weigh much & the
insulation beats corrugated iron into infinity as far as heating goes..
might want to paint them before installing--Aluminum would be my choice.
