Battens/spars double layer? Ceiling
Electronics enthusiast

The wife wants a wood panel that runs along the long sides of our sloped ceiling. This means it should be positioned at a 90-degree angle to the roof trusses. This becomes a problem.
I thought about nailing a 28x70 grid that way, but it means the wood panel would then have to be attached 90 degrees against the grid, i.e., NOT along the long sides but parallel to the gables.
Any solution besides the obvious one of nailing a double layer of grid?

Isn't it enough to attach the panel directly to the rafters?
Add a blindregel between the rafters for a bit more rigidity.

A friend of mine installed the slatted panel at a 45-degree angle as a solution to that problem.

I have 13 mm paneling in all the ceilings with trusses 1.2 m apart. Between the trusses, there is something like 28x45 mostly just attached to the paneling.
But of course, if you're going to kick your heels in the ceiling, then maybe something more is needed, but for normal living, nothing more is needed. It's just a bit of insulation that the ceiling needs to hold up and the occasional lamp.
