So 2x6 it is.
I used this calculator. (

and span tables (
https://www.awc.org/pdf/codes-standa...AWCWebsite.pdf ) page 17...ceiling joist.
I don't understand much of it. Does anyone here?
Blown in insulation is somewhat complicated with vapor barrier and all, so I'm leaning towards batts.
I'm familiar with the panel hoist. HD rents it for reasonable fee, plus no where to store it.
Here's a picture of the room. The ceiling hangs at the white edge perimeter 28 inches below the roof beams.
The concerns about the straps (stick ). I'd rather not use them, only if the 2x6 can handle that span without any deflection.
Can't upload picture.
