Default Can I install a ceiling?

29 gauge liner sheets or galvanized "barn tin" would span the 4'
spacing just fine, and hold insulation if desired. I would be
confident the trusses could take the load.

Did you mean 2' on center?


4' centers are acceptable (at least in Michigan) for a metal
roof.
Not so with a wood roof and shingles, they must be 24".


They are 4 foot on center. Metal roof. Walls are 2x4 stick built 2
foot on center studs attached directly to a concrete pad. (I think
the
pad is thicker around the perimeter.)

My concern was with 4 foot on center whatever I use for the
ceiling
(osb, drywall, foam board, whatever) might sag? Is this true?
