Looking for ideas for a low-cost and easily removable ceiling treatment
for a cabin basement. It is (and has been for years) bare joists with
insulation and visible wiring, so just about any treatment will be an
aesthetic improvement.

The ceiling is about 9' high, and I am just finishing getting insulation
up between the joists. Wanted to put up something that I could take down
easily to run additional wiring, etc if required. So drywall is out, as
is most panelling and drop celing styles.

Is there a fairly durable (and maybe flame retardent) fabric that I could
simply staple in place? I may want it to come down the walls about a foot
as well, as I have panelled/sheetrocked about 8 feet up from the floor and
have exposed wall above that level that would be well suited to sharing
the same covering as the ceiling.

Ideas or links appreciated.



Think about this for a moment: If dropped ceiling panels were hard to take
down easily for wiring or other modifications, why are dropped ceilings used
in thousands of commercial buildings??? Lift the ceiling panels, move them
aside, and there's your wiring. Much easier than pulling down stapled
fabric.
