Install short planks (drywall) on the ceiling?

[Jensa1]

Where do I start if I want to install kortplank on the ceiling? The room is 3.3x3.9m! What should I consider, is it difficult?

Is it 120x60cm?

No, it's not difficult. Make sure to get a good straight edge for the first row. I start in the middle, just make sure there are no small joining pieces on the sides.

Gyproc has a handbook under their do-it-yourself section. It says a little there about sizing, etc.

Yes, it is 120x60cm, great thanks!
Once again, this is a very good site!

Should you be alone when doing it? Rent a drywall lift, it will be much easier. A drywall screwdriver with an extender is also a great tool.

I have rented a drywall lift, and I'm also considering renting one of those screwdrivers for drywall. I have a screwdriver myself, but I think it goes faster with one of those where the screws come on a strip and there's a screw stop on them!
