I need someone with the knowledge to say yes or no, it can't be done.
My barn trusses are 2x4 construction, I'm pretty sure they're 10psf BCDL, 4' on center. Will I be safe using light weight 1/2 drywall? I'm gonna install nailers for the seams and probably run some in the middle to help reduce the sag. I tried to google weather or not that amount of BCDL can handle that weight plus like R15 insulation and I end up down a rabbit hole of nowhereness.

Metal panels for pole barn to go on ceiling with perforated holes may be little lighter but may also cost more. But once installed your done.
