A method and apparatus is disclosed for installing insulation in metal buildings and the like. The apparatus includes a grid supported from the upper flanges of the purlins of the metal building and providing struts and shelves to support an insulation blanket below the upper flanges of the purlins. The shelves support the blanket along its edges and the struts support the blanket at intervals along its length. In accordance with the method, the grids are assembled and then pushed out along the purlins and are dropped down between the purlins while being supported from the upper flanges thereof. With such method, it is not necessary for workmen to work out along the purlins and the grids can be installed while the workmen stand on an end platform on panels of a partially completed roof.
