View Full Version : SHould I put Tyvek Wrap on my Pole Barn
I'm working on building a pole barn and was curious if I should wrap the bulding in the tyvek or whatever house wrap?
Building is detached 28X32 pole building with cement floor. Will be heated on as needed basis. Used for Shop and storage.

If your budget allows for it, then I say do it. The more sealed up it is, the better in my opinion.

ditto... as long as you plan to have some way to evacuate fumes, don't wanna get it too tight and let vapors build up possibly...

Since you plan on heating it, I'd say do it.

housewrap is an infiltraion barrier not a vapor barrier. you don't want a vapor barrier on the exterior where the dew point is likely to occur behind it. if its heated space you should use it, but buy typar not tyvek. do not use perforated plastic products.
