Colin, thank you for bringing the thread back on course and the very useful suggestion, certainly another one to consider when I have sold my car and have some cash at my disposal!

Warmest regards. Peter.

Screw through into ceiling or floor joists and suspend from those. Then you can have a normal baseboard.

If ceiling joists are suspect, you can double up in the loft etc

Just trying to turn the problem on its head and offer a lateral solution

Thank you for your thoughts.  In my original thread post this IS the idea, as for roof joists  there are only the joists as fitted into my timber workshop, there is no loft!

Anyway, as a structural engineer perhaps you could answer a different but connected question?

Given that the roof ceiling joists are 50 x 80 mm with a 10 foot span and that the pulleys are likely to be approximately 6 feet apart, what sort of maximum weight of baseboard would be advisable not to exceed?

I realise that much is hypothetical but there muse be an average somewhere?

Regards, Peter.
