Ceiling plasterboard is somewhat easier to handle than the regular 90 or 120 wide if you lack a good lift or strong friends, and the price probably differs per sqm.
As mentioned, plasterboard works well as fire protection (it doesn't burn), especially if the garage is attached to the house. The garage and the house then become two fire cells, meaning the house remains if the garage burns down.
Plasterboard can also be installed with 1200 sheets, costing about 100:-/sheet 1200x2400.
Plywood, for example, costs twice as much.
But if you have an unheated, detached garage, why should you even put a lining on the inside at all?

65kr at byggmax for drywall is excellent. I'm voting for drywall! If you aren't planning to screw a lot in the ceiling it works great and covers a large area quickly.
but bring a couple of friends. They're heavy. Put up renovation drywall on a ceiling the other day. Half the weight. But damn, it takes a toll on your arms =)

unfortunately you have no choice if the garage is attached to the house then you must have plasterboard in the ceiling, and double plasterboard on the wall facing the house to meet building codes.....
I used the beveled panels that are 120*60, which means you don't need to fill the joints, and you get a grid pattern in the ceiling.
It turned out nice and was easy to install...

I can only agree with trojlee. Kortplank from Cheapy is what I used in my garage and it turned out great. It looks a bit more luxurious than smooth drywall and is much easier to handle. However, it requires spacing at cc60 and it's a bit more expensive, but not a significant cost for a garage ceiling.
At 600 c/c you risk sagging between the battens, 300c/c is good, the battens aren't that expensive either,
it also makes it easier to screw in fluorescent lights or something,
Renovation gypsum I believe is more expensive than "ordinary" and it's probably even more sensitive to "sagging", I imagine it is heavier than ordinary, per mm thickness, but I could be wrong..

Renovation drywall is way too fragile to hang on the ceiling unless you screw it to a tongue and groove ceiling.
Regular economy drywall costs under 70kr per sheet. Renovation around a hundred.

Hello!
Regular plasterboard is perfectly fine to use on ceilings with c/c 60, but you need to put battens so you can screw on all short sides. Lay the plasterboard in a brick pattern so that not all end joints come in a line.
And it's really worth the money to rent a drywall lift for ceilings! Then the panel hangs on the ceiling while you calmly screw it in (10-15 cm apart).
