OK, So what in the world is going on here with my warehouse ceiling?
The guys are installing a try-ply.
It’s a durable flexible woven poly material.
After they tack it in place they tape all the seams with a try-ply tape made from the same material.
Next they roll out strips of green strapping the length of the building.
Starting at one end, they make a mark on the try-ply every eight inches so they know where to staple the strapping.
Using one inch galvanized staples- each band gets stapled, then folded over and stapled a second time.
The tape joints get a strap on both sides.
They loosely staple each strap at the middle of the building every eight inches.
Finally they go to the other end, pull the straps tight, and staple them in place.
The extra strapping is cut off, a lath strip is nailed around the perimeter, then they finish by stapling all the straps on every truss.
Try-Ply is designed to support blown insulation on top of it- these ceilings get R48.
The office area also has Try-Ply above but will get an acoustic drop ceiling below. @hausplans
