How would you hang light's in a lean-too addition?

Hey guys. It's been probably a few years since I last posted.
Life has been busy, but can't complain. Been busy working out in the shop since I finished it out and then boom, got married to the love of my life. I was able to squeeze in a 16 x 30 lean-too addition to my existing shop just before my big day. Finally got concrete done last week and now I'm in the process of figuring out lighting. I'd like to go with 4 ft T8s just like I did in the original shop. My question is how would you mount the lights to the sloped rafters so they are "level" if you guys know what I mean. I also got a free lift master door opener from my parents when they got new openers. How would you guys mount that to here is hanging level from a sloped rafter? Thanks again for any suggestions. Here's a couple pics of the ceiling and a shot from the house.

I'd just mount them at the angle it is. I suppose you could mount them with chain or cut some blocks at an angle.

Nice looking building! I'd run the lights the long direction and extend the ones off the higher side with chains. Pretty typical installation. If you run them the other way, one longer chain.

The door opener is simple. Get perforated angle stock and run a "V" off the back of the unit to the nearest rafter. One leg will obviously be longer.

I recently ran some lights in the lean-to behind my barn for the livestock. I just ran a line of emt conduit with three regular light fixtures on it, and put led bulbs in. Plenty of light, easy to put up. I mounted the bulbs horizontally instead of hanging them down to save it from anything flying around.

Thanks guys, Zeke- i was thinking of using the angle stock for the opener, I didn't think to run the lights long ways, I think i might be over thinking this. I might just mount them straight to bottom of the rafter and then mount 2 on each side wall for additional lighting....

No issue with angles. I would also look at getting LED vs florescent. Should be more reliable (not always the case) and they don't have cold weather issues.
