If you decide to put seagrass matting on the ceiling (and I applaud you if you do), mount it to something first, like plywood. I was dead set on seagrass matting for my ceiling, but backed off after I decided it was more trouble than it was worth. There are other options. Personally, I'd recommend a pressed bamboo board of some sort for the ceiling. It is somewhat stiff and can be adhered to the ceiling with Liquid Nails fairly easily. There are two suppliers in my area for this, Amazulu and Safari Thatch.
