Folks my ceiling strips were coming loose and was I trying to decide how to repair them. I bought oak 1x2's and ripped down to 1/4"x 1.5". Then rounded the sides and clear coated. Then I screwed the strips into the metal rafter with antique brass screws to match the interior. They matched the interior GREAT and now they will not come loose again.
