Ceiling recomendations

[trifiveshawn]

Im in the slow process of fixing up my 40x60. I had posted about what heater to use but everyone is recommended I do the ceiling before the heater. My walls are insulated and ive hung osb and painted, I would really like to do metal but im not sure on cost.. need to do on a budget. What are your opinions and idea of a price it would cost, im in southern ohio. Thanks guys

I just did my 32'x56 ceiling.......24" truss spacing....metal liner, screws, "j" channel, $1400. Had to rent a lift. I'm in NE Ohio.

2000sqft of white metal, j channel and screws came out to 1100 bucks. It was hard for me to beat that.

I can bring a lift home from work, that doesn't sound too bad. Only bad thing is having to remove my lights lol

My barn was here when we bought the house, where is the best place to get metal for my roof.. priced menards(which I buy about everything from) and it was waaay up there lol

Well, here in expensive Canada I was quoted 95 cent/sq ft just for the panels, screws/J-channel extra. My labour free......

In my garage, I don't care what the ceiling looks like so I put up foil faced foam sheeting and used sheetrock screws with car washers.
I then went up top and used some foam insulation where I found light shining through the cracks.
It isn't pretty but it was less than $100 and I can cover it, at a later date, if I want, when I'm not cash strapped.
It's really works nice and my heater doesn't constantly run to keep temp.

Price it from a steel manufacture. Ask for number 2 or seconds. Its the same panel but has no warranty.
