Want to put ceiling and insulation in garage?
Hello, I just finished putting insulation and walls in my unfinished, unattached garage. Now to help keep the heat in and make it look better, I want to put a ceiling and some R19 up. My question is, what building material would be best for the ceiling and also, can I even do this because its made of 2x6's running a 15' span at 48" on center. I know I would have to add wood to keep anything I put up from sagging, but will the construction be strong enough to hold all of that up and some storage also? Thanks in advance!

- "..2x6's running a 15' span at 48" on center." That's not going to support you safely, let alone any 'storage'. Best put your insulating bats in the roof rafters and use the 2x6's as racks for some lumber etc., (not too much).
