The duct is probably made from galvanized material in 4 ft. sections. Should
be easy enough to remove a 4 ft. section in the area you need to reinforce
and add the structural reinforcment. If you careful, the duct should go back
together without any major leaks. (But use alum duct tape anyway.)

Opps, yup, your right, 8'. I have no idea as to why I wrote 4.

<g> this usually happens when I have *too much* coffee!

I don't know about anyone else, but I was assuming the OP had a
finished ceiling covering the duct... If not, then even eight feet
isn't that much to pull.
