Hi drmdilip -- While I waited for my trumpet vines to fill in sufficiently to provide summer shade, I sewed three matching striped shower curtains together, using the button holes on each end to tie it in place. I did this because as the vine was growing new, each thin runner would drop between the rafters rather than grow straight across. After a few years now, those thin runners have become a massed layer of thick vines, all of the new growth is straight up and by the end of summer I'll be able to easily remove my temporary support and have a roof of vines. It's not rainproof though -- for that, polycarb is practical, and I love the copper above!

Hi grekx, Here are some ideas from previous projects of ours. You may find more on our profile and add what you like to your ideabooks. We specialize in ceilings. It would help if you can post pictures of what your area looks like now. In the above picture, there were ducts to be covered, but the owner didn't want to lower the entire ceiling to cover them. Below, the same idea of using curvy shapes, but the duct to be covered was on a wall instead of a ceiling. The designer (Idevoks Design) used printed translucent stretch ceiling material and turned the problem into a gorgeous backlit design feature. Here, the shapes were kept more structured and rectilinear. Here, a drywall bulkhead around the perimeter of the room hides ducts and other equipment, while the printed stretch ceiling in the middle (tray ceiling) is the design feature.
