garage doors and interior walls

[4me2nou]

Hi all, first post, just found this site today. I am finally getting my dream garage going. 40' wide and 32' deep. I've planned this garage for at least 3 years and now have the slab finished, 21 yards of concrete and 2000#s of rebar(5/8ths). I have scissor trusses on a 6/12 pitch and 9 foot walls for a total height over 12' in the center for 2 of the bays and standard trusses over one bay for a standard attic for storage and hvac system. My main question is whether anyone has used a slanted track on their garage doors to keep them next to the scissor trusses. I have tried to plan ahead for a future lift. Secondary question, with the price of OSB so low does anyone see any issues with finishing the walls with osb and painting them white versus hanging drywall. OSB is 4.60 a sheet here versus 11.00 for wallboard. I was planning on screwing them in place to leave access to the interior walls if needed. Any experiences or advice would be great.

I have one door with slanted tracks that follow the cieling. Also in prep for a future lift. It works great. The door company can order the tracks to most any roof pitch.
As far as the OSB, I'm not sure. Drywall provides a layer of fire resistive protection and OSB is mostly glue and sawdust, which burns great.

A number of posters here have finished their shops out with OSB. The fire hazzard is a real consideration and I would not use it in an attached garage (which would be a code violation). But I would not have any reservations about using it in a detached structure. OSB is a b!#ch to paint. A sprayer works best.

I think you would be happier with drywall in the long run. It gives a cleaner look as well as the aforementioned advantages. I don't know how removable those screws holding the OSB will be after they've been painted over once or twice either.
