Drywalling ceiling

[foss]

I am ready to start drywalling my 15' ceiling( installed electrical and gas heater first) . Is getting some scaffolding the easiest way to do this? Do drywall lifts go this high ? I would appreciate any help with this. Thank-you.

The only drywall lifts I ever heard of only go to 11'

When we did my garage, we used the 4 post lift as the scaffold. I built a plywood platform for on top of the runners. Worked good if you have one.

I hung the drywall in my garage with the help of a few friends. My ceiling height was 12 foot. Renting scaffolding with wheels was a big help and not that expensive. I also rented a drywall lift. Normal height range was up to 11 foot, but they rent an 18" extension. It worked good and was a big help. The only down side is that the extension also meant that we had to lift the drywall an extra 18 inches to get the drywall on the lift. I'm not sure what you use to lift drywall 15 feet, but I would think the scaffolding would be a big plus.

drywall lift is the way to go to lift the drywall and you'll need the extension for it.

you'll also need scaffolding for you. 15' is a little too tall for stilts...
