Ceiling Option - Pole Construction

[87YJ]

I'm starting to head down the home stretch on my toy box project. It's a 28X32 pole construction building. Nothing fancy - Going to leave the walls unfinished, but I am thinking about putting up some sort of ceiling. 10' walls with rafters 24" O.C.

I plan on heating as-needed (Northeast Ohio) but don't want to get a lot more money *******. I'm already too far over budget.

What are my options/suggestions do you guys have for the ceiling?

The best bang for your buck would probably be tek foil bubble wrap. You could staple it right to the rafters. The most important insulating you could do would be the ceiling due to heat rise. check this out.

I put the same ribbed steel on the ceiling that I have on the walls. It's very clean and reflects light very well. I put 11" of fiberglass (R30) on top of the steel.

Mine's plywood and OSB but I vote for ribbed steel.

Ask local builders if they have "cover" sheets for sale...they are the top sheets on steel bundles and are usually scratched or slightly marred. Cheap, too.
