Material for garage ceiling

[tallyho8]

Oh, sorry, one last question. Do you use the same gauge metal on the ceilings as on the walls? I called Menards and a 16 foot sheet (white) is $31.66. So I figure its gonna run $2,300.00 for the ceiling of my 14 x 70 pole building.

Just want to make sure I'm buying the right stuff and not spending more than I need too.

$2,300.00 ???

Using 16' X 3' sheets, it should only take you about 21 sheets to do the job. 21 X $31.66 = $664.86.

Ah, crud....I just saw the typo. The building is 40 x 70 not 14 x 70 Sorry about that! Its been a long day!

Just a thought if you want more of an open space. I used 1.5" high density foam sheets nailed onto the purlins on the wall and roof. Covered the wall with osb. Not as nice looking as a finished ceiling but I liked the open space and potential storage. This was discussed in an earlier thread that I hope to come back and post "finished" pics. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/projects/134794-insulate-upgrade-existing-pole-barn.html
