Garage Tin
Posted on Monday, February 1, 2010 in Collectibles
How can I tell if my garage roof is strong enough for me to hang drywall?
I have a very old unattached garage, about 700sq ft. Built maybe in the 60's not really sure.. I want to turn it into a hang out room for my kids. Right now it is pretty much bare, (meaning the walls studs are showing and the ceiling rafters can be seen in the inside of the garage.) I would like to enclose the space with drywall and insulate the room. Right now the roof has plywood sheets and a tin roof on top of that.. Not sure it that information helps. If I put more rafters up will it help distribute the weight of the drywall or will it add more weight... I'm so confused, can anyone help me.????
if your rafters are in sound condition, and all connections are tight, you're good to go. If the garage is an unheated space, any dampness can cause the drywall to sag. Maybe consider wood paneling instead.
