I built a wood frame pole barn and used poly-backed fiberglass insulation under the ribbed steel roofing. Now, 5 or 6 years later the poly backing is tearing and the birds are nesting between the insulation and the roofing. It looks terrible. I need suggestions on how to repair the insulation or re-cover it in a way that will keep the birds out! Any suggestions? The purlins are about 32 inches apart and the trusses vary between 8 and 10 feet on center.

They make tapes that match the facing so you can tape the holes shut. failing that I would consider installing a foil faced cellular product (Environmentally Friendly Products) and installing it to the underside between the purlins and taping it to the purlins.

Yes, another expert told me nearly the same thing, either bubble-wrap or foam insulation foil faced. Instead of taping or stapling, I think I might have to fasten it with batten strips to the purlins. Thanks!
