Carport Ceiling


I just got a house it had a bad roof so alot of the drywall was destroyed and torn out. alot has been replaced except for the carport ceiling. Its completly coverd by a new roof. however 2 sides will be left open can regular dry wall be used for the ceiling of the carport or must i use something for the humidity it will be exposed to???

thanks for the help

Re: Carport Ceiling


I screened in my carport and used vinyl siding (it has a beadboard appearance)to finish off the underside of the roof. It was easy to put up, looks decent, and isn't moisture sensitive.

Re: Carport Ceiling


I wouldn't hang board outside, even if you use greenboard, just wouldn't do it.

Use something for exterior applications, Pipes idea isn't a bad one.

Re: Carport Ceiling


hang the rock and finish it out with a good t/texture and seal with a exterior paint call it good.

Re: Carport Ceiling


I would never hang rock outside. I live in a house wher they did this. It was destroyed by the moisture, It was taped ,textured, and painted. I could'nt believe someone would do this.
