Because of HOA I could only build 12x12 from the ground up (not perfect) also, your updated video I built my first panel for the star ceiling for my home theater shed. Furthermore, I hate sheet rock it sucks my home theater shed is still a work in progress, maybe I will post pictures later once again thanks for the inspiration keep up the good work.

I too am afraid if I do something similar with the star ceiling that the magnets could fail and get dislodged for any reason. Thanks!

I also live someplace where it can get really cold in the winter, making that walk even less fun.

    🌟 Fantastic!!!! But just one question: What is the type of this circular magnetic? what size did you use? and where to buy? I ask because there is a wide variety and I would like to know which is the best and safest! Thank youuuu so much for sharing!🙌
