Hi there.


What methods are there to have a ceiling a foot lower than the roof
rafters it ties together? Like this:

/\ /\
/ \ / \
/ \ instead of / \
/ \ /______\
|______|

The question arises because the roof rafters must be tied to stop them
doing the splits.

Why do you want a lowered ceiling ?
But if so, you could have a look at commercial false ceilings which include
insulation.
