Hey everyone! Looking to finish the upstairs of a 20x28 2 story garage, with the potential of this floor being an apartment one day if need be, so it would need to meet residential code.
Looking to do the ceiling with drywall/insulation. 2x8 Rafters are 16 on center. 2x4 rafter ties that span 20 feet. Roof is a 4/12. Rafter ties are hung 11” up from the top of the walls, with the top of the ridge being about 3’8” from the top of the walls.
Here are some photos:
Can I hang half inch drywall from these rafter ties w/ insulation? Or would the weight somehow compromise the function of the rafter ties?
