underbelly material
Moderators: Greg, Mark, mhrAJ333, JD
Can anyone tell me where to buy the underbelly panels that go between the frame rails where the pipes are located. It is a black compressed insulation material. Mine got wet and have to be replaced.
Hi & welcome. It sounds to me like you have the old buffalo board belly type. Bellys now use a cloth like material. I am not sure it buffalo board is still avalable, If it is I would think the shipping could make it too costly to reasonably use.
Mark has the material avalable here. Some have used Tyvec also, you need a breathable material for the belly, so do not use plastic.
I am sure others will have more ideas also. Greg

You should look in the plywood/sheetrock areas of Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. They have a 4x8 panel of the same material and they call it Sound Board.

Hi farmer1, believe it or not you can use a silo tarp or the same tarps that you cover your hay bales to repair the belly. The other things that you will need is 1- spray adhesive to attach tarp to old material 2- staple gun to attach tarp to floor joists on side away from duct line 3- tarp tape and a heat gun or hair dryer. 4- time and patience as this is a job that you will be laying on your back for several hours. I found that the blue tarps work very well for doing this type of job. Oh and one other thing if you are replacing the insulation i used the R20 24x48 batts and overlapped them after i had gotten the tarp partially installed. If you need more info on how to do this job send me a email.
The dirtyist word in the dictionary CANCER....it takes many too soon and leaves nothing but anger and pain. We all mourn the loss of those that have succummed to this......
Hi,
JMO here, but real belly material is impregnated with an oil that also resist rotting and bugs/critters. Tarps do not have that quality. For the time and materials involved I would personally try to use the best materials and get it done right.
Happy Holidays,
