It took 2 scissor lifts with 2 men in each lift and 1 ground man 2 days to install the unistrut structure to the roof trusses before the ceiling was framed.  After the ceiling was dry walled and painted, it took 4 scissor lifts, with 2 men in each lift and 2 ground men 4 days to install the finished product. 

 

The 8’ x 10’ decorative wall piece is laminated Wilsonart Wild Cherry with semi-recessed aluminum trim routed into the face of it.  It took 2 scissor lifts, with 2 men in each lift and 2 ground men 1 day to install.
