Does anyone have any experience they can share with adding a ceiling inside the bay of a Kirby metal building? I plan to do this soon at my wash but I'm not sure how to proceed. Thanks!

Have not seen a Kirby but are they prefab with an open attic space?

I am guessing you would have to install some type of galvanized grid-work (similar to a drop ceiling grid) and then go with a panel that will also be moisture friendly that you can attach to the grid.

They look like they would be good buildings for a car wash. What material are the inner and outer walls on your wash?

walls are steel liner panel . They have held up well. I replaced one structural corner beam in my iba bay in 15 years.
