    I have the roll stuff and it keeps it somewhat cool. Certainly not enough to run a window unit in but it keeps it about 10-15 degrees cooler/ warmer than outside temps.

        Yeah, unfortunately my installer didn't give me that option. It is a carport that I am framing in.

          I think this may be what I have to do.

            Once again, look at insulation spikes. By far the easiest, most cost efficient way to go, at this point.

                    Sorry, on my phone. Making it difficult, but here are a couple of screen shots of the spikes. The base adheres with a contact cement, like liquid nails. The insulation is "stabbed" onto the spikes, then the washer slips onto the spike. The ends of the spike is then push over flat. The picture shows the spike still sticking straight down, but that's not the "finished" product.

                    Word of caution: wear good gloves, as these spikes are SHARP!

                            Ok. PBI Supply carries them. They also sell metal building insulation.

                            There is one in Dallas. Their address is La Reunion Parkway, Dallas 75212. The number is (214) 637-0151. They are known as insulation stick clips.
