Can't you just fix four lengths of aluminium angle in the corners hanging down whatever length you want and attach your ceiling struts to them.

I think that’s what I said ( badly ) 1 post back . Might solve the issue for skylights . Stairwell and different ceiling heights are other issues

Sorry I didn't understand. You could use fibreglass angle if you're worried about thermal bridging.

No - it’s more likely my fault for piss poor explanation. Enlighten me about fibre glass angle though !

So what is your genuine dungeon space used for ?

for me to know and you to find out on crime watch in about 20 years

 

(that's a joke by the way before anyone tries to track me down to call the police! it's really going to be used for music room, cinema, golf studio and games room for the kids)

Assume they are pretty rigid and strong?

 

What's the best way to bolt them together though?

I've seen GRP angle but not used it for anything. It's certainly strong stuff if you're talking about 50mm x 50mm. I should think it's easy to drill so bolting a framework together shouldn't be a problem. Maybe @PeterW has used it.

Pultruded GRP is easy to drill and bolt.  You may need to use some spreading washers.

You can use an adhesive, but you need to treat the GRP first as it has a release agent in it.

Or you can get the proper fasteners:

Used to be one of the nicest companies I have ever dealt with.
