This is something no one thinks about when building a pole barn. "Putting up a ceiling". I know! I did it myself. Put my trusses 5' apart. Afterwards I thought about putting a ceiling in. That's when it hit me. I should have put the trusses 4' apart. Then I would be able to use conventional size building material. I put a drop ceiling in mine , useing 3" insulated ceiling tiles. I went with drop ceiling because of weight. And also because it was free. I got my ceiling panels from a Topps grocery store , which was being remodeled. If I were you , I would put one more truss inbetween the others. Then use drop ceiling panels as I did. It worked out good for me. With one more truss inbetween your existing ones , you should be great. I had to be a little more creative with 5' between my trusses. Here is what you do: Put the "L" chanel all around the perimeter of the building , and also on each side of each truss. Put your "T" bars inbetween your trusses. Drop your panels in. My "T" bars are not even fastened. They just set on the "L" chanel. Everything is pushed tight togather. NOTE: if you use thin ceiling panels , you might also want to add some insulation batts over the top of them. The wind may lift the panels out other wise. I have a couple that try to lift on a windy day , but can't.
