Having to remove the bars to insulate depends on the type of insulation installed.
I used thin white styrofoam sheets that came as cushioning from many mail order furnishings we purchased. Which requires the bars to be removed.
If I had used the foil bubble sheets, they are totally flexible and do not require the bar removal, much easier to install than my styrofoam sheets.
The 24”x10’ rolls of foil radiant barrier are $10+ at Home Cheapo. A ballpark estimate I would have needed to buy at least 7+ rolls of them. Verse my free thin white styrofoam sheets and a roll of white duct tape.
