Hi,
I wanted to cover over the fibre-glass stuffed joists on my garage with a basic ceiling, so i decided on hardboard.
I have pinned and screwed the hardboard sheets (1980mm x 780mm) onto the joists, which are about 550 mm apart, so each sheet is atatched to 3 or 4 joists.
After a few days though, it looks like the fist few sheets i put up have sagged slightly.
Is this normal with the approach i am taking and can anyone recommend a fix for this or a better way/material?
Thanks in advance
