Bob,
When I did mine I used thin tongue and grove which was about 4' wide. I
varnished the pieces before installing them. With the tongue and grove
it doesn't matter that the ends line up with the rafters. Mine turned
out excellent and looked great and requires no maintenance.

Subject: [Shop-talk] Porch Ceiling
I'm redoing the back porch ceiling. Currently there is dry wall
installed in
1963, which is holding up fairly well except for the paint which is
peeling
( very dry warm climate). My wife wants bead board ( actually the 1/4
inch
plywood that looks like bead board).
My problem is that the defus who built it didn't always hit the mark
installing the rafters on 16 inch centers. Some are off by up to an inch
and
the lap joint of the bead board needs to be under the joint.
What say you to the following:
Screw ax's to the rafters so that the 1X4 are all on 16 inch centers.
Then
Glue and nail the plywood bead board to the 1X4.
Can I expect a problem with the 3/4" gap between the beadboard and
sheetrock? Would that 3/4 " Styrofoam that is used behind vinyl siding
work
in that gap?
