Hello all experts,

I am seeking your advice on how to make over the ceiling of my garage.

I am sharing a short video for your reference.

I would like the ceiling and eves to be covered and enclosed nicely with insulation.

Please assist me with the choice of material, equipment, tools, fasteners and most importantly your expert advise.

Thanks in advance.

Hello @amirwayn 

I suggest having a look at these guides to give you an idea of what is involved with the projects you wish to undertake:

• How To Insulate Ceilings
   
• How To Plasterboard A Ceiling 
   
• Tips for Using a Panel Lift 
   

You'll need to build a ceiling frame under your existing roof. This frame will hold both the insulation and your ceiling plasterboard. A similar frame will need to be built outside for your eaves. This will allow you to attach the eave panels. You'll need an electrician to rewire your garage lights so that they are installed in front of the ceiling plasterboard. This is an involved and complex piece of carpentry work and if not done correctly could result in the frame failing or collapsing causing injury. 

If you've not done anything like this before, I suggest engaging the services of a builder and getting a quote for the installation of the ceiling frame, insulation and plastering of the ceiling. This will guarantee that the ceiling frame has been installed to code and local council regulations.

Let me call on our experienced members @Dave-1 and @Nailbag for their recommendations.  

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Good Evening @amirwayn 

@EricL has pointed out some very pertinent details. You roof and the way it has been configured/built means you will need to have addded support to carry added loading. 

The tin sheets cant carry any extra weight I would think without buckling. So a frame would have to be added, maybe beams across the width of the shed and then you could frame it out to carry insulation (you would loose the height of the truss is all). The eves will be harder to work out.  Tho are not really neccasary for insulating within the garage as the walls will be carrying the new load. The span of ?m will mean that your beams may need to be resonably substantial.
