Not much unless they are under tension. They need to be pulled on on each end such that in the middle they would only come down 3" or so if you hung a two pound weight in the center. If this much tension would distort the roof, then that is out. Putting the rods verticle and using them to suspend the ceiling would work, See below!!!!! If it is possible, then welding a 1/4" bolt or ready rod chunk to the end to tension it will work. You might need to make brackets to put the other end into so that it is fastened in a way to tension it. Most dock foam is styrene and extremely combustable!! It will meet absolutely no codes for exposed surfaces in a shop. It can be covered with a 5/8" Fire rated sheetrock ceiling that is mudded and taped to prevent fire exposure. I am not a fire inspector, but I teach classes in Codes and Regulation basics.. Take a 6" cube shaped piece of the foam and burn it. (outside because early styrene had Freon in it to make the bubbles in the foam, and the freon, when burned gives off a extremely toxic nerve gas called Phosgene Gas (Google it). The freon is composed of diclorodifloromethane. Those florine and clorine atoms are deadley.) I believe in insulation, I believe it is important to keep you around because you are a great contributor to this forum. I do believe in you, JimN
