1. Measure the ceiling space. Purchase enough “L shaped” outer track for the perimeter of the room. Purchase “T main” supports for the length of the room. The “T main” supports are needed for every two feet across. Purchase “cross T” supports for the width of the room, again spacing every two feet.

2. Purchase 1/4” birch plywood. This is cut to 23 3/4” squares. Measure and cut to width as needed around the room.

3. Paint the supports and brackets black with spray paint. Give them two even coats and allow to dry.

4. Put up the L shaped outer track around the outer edge of the ceiling. Measure the distance from the floor and mark lines around the room at the same height (standard is 8FT). Use a level to make sure the marks are level. Screw them into the wall, preferably into studs.

5. Cut the t main to length using tin snips. Cut the backbone first and then each side of the t.

6. Place the t main onto the L supports, being sure to measure that everything is centered the way you want it.

7. Instal cross ts between the mains and the L supports. You may need to cut these to length depending on your room size.

8. Cut the plywood to size for each section within the supports. The t shaped supports allow for the plywood panel to rest within them.

9. Place the plywood within the supports. Angle the plywood into the open space and allow it to drop into the supports.
