When I built my shop (30'x40') I used corrugated steel sheets, 2'x12'.
Home Depot sells really thin stuff for about $10/sheet. I wouldn't want
to try walking on it, it is so thin, but for the ceiling it worked out fine.
1/4" drywall and Luan will sag with time, but my ceiling has been up for
better than 10 years and doing fine.
Peace,
Pat
