Trying to Find Drywall Alternative
I'm currently doing a DIY project of putting up drywall in my garage, size is about a 20x20. All walls have studs exposed, never had drywall installed. The issue is, the ceiling joists in the garage are 2x4's and about 24 inches apart as opposed to the necessary 16 inches. I don't believe I could safely put on even lightweight drywall without fear of the joists not being able to handle the weight. I'm not proficient enough in my DIY skills to add celling joists and really want to keep those project within my budget without hiring out. I would want to know, am I overthinking this and the joists would be able to handle the 30-40lbs drywall sheets throughout the ceiling? Is there an alternative that is as cost effective as drywall maybe a little bit more expensive? submitted by /u/h0v0 [link] [comments]
