Here is how I did mine. http://www.asberry.net/home_building.htm

I have some scrap pieces that have exposed to the weather for nearly 6
years. The top side OSB still looks new. The side on the ground is
moldy. The OSB the manufacturer used was from Weyerhaeuser. I think
the glue must have been better than normal OSB. They had some in their
office in a bucket of water. It had been there since 1987.

I'm not sure vacuum bagging would provide enough pressure. You would
for sure have to bag them on a flat surface or you would cure in bows
or twists.

I've been to the factory. They have a 24" press cavity. Any
combination of 4", 6", 8", 10" or 12" can be pressed. From the time
the first panel is glued they have 20 minutes to apply pressure.

I got my SIPS from Murus in Mansfield PA, we had a lot of material
remaining from door and window cut outs, that I kept and used to build
a shed - mine were 1/2 OSB 6 1/2 polystyrene insulation and 1/2 drywall
- they weren't used structurally, rather they enclosed a pole frame
building.

wow I bet that shed was energy efficient! was it?

also... was the pole barn energy efficient as well?

do you live in this pole barn?

I was thinking Sips for insulated roof but was advised against it by
the building inspector and architect. It's find when new but if you get
slightly faulty panels with any air gaps or the panels aren't sealed
tightly at the joins and then in a few years a leaky roof, water can
get in but have no way to escape causing mold. In the end went with
spray foam insulation instead, with an air gap above the foam and then
the roof deck with shingles.
