The ceiling and walls in our hanger are insulated with foil faced fiberglass
batting held up between the steel trusses with nylon strapping like the
strapping you use to secure items onto a pallet, Signode is the most popular
brand. It's run cross wise to the joists, tightened and clamped at each end.
This same type of insulating method was also used in many of our warehouses,
however in the '60s they used metal strapping and you can guess what high
humidity did to the steel straps. Make sure your roof has NO leaks first.

You can also rolled insulation in the ceiling.

Getting it to stay up is the problem. It's just a bare, tin ceiling --
no "joists" to attach the stuff to.

I also strongly recommend
ceiling fans- a few cheap ones from Home Depot will do wonders

Yeah, once the ceiling is insulated, that will be good. I also want to
add better lighting. Right now I've got three 500 watt spot/area
lights, which are better than the single 60 watt bulb the hangar came
with -- but not much!

Now, all I need to do is figure out is how to get an electrically heated
ramp, and put a hot tub in the hangar.

I've got only electric, no gas, so we're stuck with portable heat
options. And I don't think the hot tub would work well with a torpedo
heater! (It would sure be cool in your hangar, though...)
