ICF block Garage

[gotboost]

Anyone in here build a garage with ICF blocks my basement is done with them and I love it thinking on doing the garage with them don't need to strap the walls when putting tin on and no need for insulation and would be cheap to heat

I'm going to follow this, sounds like Gotboost is onto something!

Collin are you sure you don't have to strap the walls for siding and interior finish? Anything I have seen has some sort of strapping. Maybe there is new product that I am not familiar with and they have incorporated something within the blocks.

My buddy just finish building his 30,000 square foot shop with ICF blocks tin inside and outside no straping there is plastic strips in the block you screw too

The plastic strips run up and down. Need horizontal backing for wall metal. You can attach drywall to the inside strips but I recommend strapping the outside for wall metal. If you want a perfect building strap the outside before pouring the walls. Helps keep things square.

Here's a couple pics of a 60x120 we built.

I would look into this method. Foam and steel studs. No concrete except for the footings. Can do the whole wall righ to the roof.

Why would you NOT go this route ? Entire homes have been built in Ont. like this. great idea and fast.

Been around a few basements with these and I would not go this route more money than icf and not the strength until you strap inside wall with plywood you cannot beat concrete.

Just built a garage and used them for my grade beam, used ic forming out of Ardrossen and they did an awesome job. Did just a 2x6 wall thou. The reason I went with this for my grade beam was to utilize the option of the floating slab edge for my floor. When the grade beam was done I was left with a 4" lip all around the grade beam, I poured a 6" floor that just floats, floor should not crack.

I built a 35x45 shop ICF 4 ft grade beam 3 feet in ground then wood 2x6 walls 16 ft high. Spray foam 4in in 2x6 wall. Ran wiring then one row 1/2in plywood. then strap and tin. 12in pile 10 ft down every 8ft sq, 1 in foam board on sand then rebar, in floor heating line then poured. siding om out side 18in of cellulite in attic. Did same for 1800 sq ft house with ICF basement with 900sq ft garage and heat all this to 20' c for 180.00 a month. Did basement my self so cost was same as concrete. spray foam in walls was a little more than pink ins. but better in long term.

Curious how much rebar you did in your floor. To make a true suspended floor with piles takes a lot of rebar. If you just did a normal grid your not using the piles to there full potential.

With ICF make sure you get it right the first time. These buildings are a real pain to renovate/modify after there up even during the build. You might want to look into a pole building. You can foam the walls if efficiency is important to you

You cant build a pole building in town great for a farm yard

Crap you must have a big lot. Nice size building for in town.
