Hi Jim, I’m very happy with the 10’ ceiling, pitching to 12.5 in the center. All of the duct work is 10ft about the floor and completely out of the way when handling sheet goods. Of course, hanging duct work from a ceiling like that was not particularly fun, but it did give me a good excuse for buying a new step ladder ! I was sold on the idea of 10’ ceilings from reading comments on this forum, which has always been a terrific resource for me.
