beautiful. - what material was used

3 years ago

Hi. What are the ‘rods’ on the ceiling. Decorative or functional. What material is it? Thinking cheaper more streamline look than wood beams. ? I like it. Thanks

The metal rods actually serve as rafter ties, so they do serve that necessary purpose. These were custom made to provide a more modern look to the space. The cost is essentially the same as using wood rafter ties and then wrapping them and staining them for more of a "farm" look. Hope this helps.
