We are lacking so many details that no one can give even a guess. Try again with what you really eed to know and add what materials, location, is this for just paint of new drywall or what? We know nothing from your first post.

Hi, lorshel!

Yes, more information from you as to exactly what this is concerning would be helpful.

Also, is that 50 x 28 feet, inches or something else, please?

Thanks!

50 by 28 feet. I want to take down my ceiling and have someone do it all over again. It was done in ply wood. I would like it the same way. I want to know how much wood and ply wood I will need. I am a single woman and men tried to rob me before for work on my patio.

you measure by the sq ft.. . so a 4x8 sheet of plywood (1/4 or 3/8) =32 sq ft x 3 sheets gives you 96 sq ft round that off to 100 sq ft which is basically 1 sq 10ft by 10ft round off your 28 ft to 30ft x the 50ft =1500sq ft or say 15 sq ceiling.. so you need approx. 3 sheets per 1 sq (10'x 10' ) so 3 x 15 sq= 45 sheets of 4x8
