I'm working on a bathroom exhaust fan project requiring a run of 16'
duct to an outside wall.
I tackled a drywall project before, but am unfamiliar with the
contruction of a dywall chase.
Has anyone had any experience in the construction of such a project.
Any help and tips would be greatly appreciated!

Easiest thing is to make it out of steel stud and track. Visit the USG
web site and do a search for chase framing or soffit framing. That'll
tell you all you need to know.

keep in mind you will likely be exhausting steam from showers...
perhaps a more impervious material would be more favorable.

I must be missing something here. Why not use standard metal duct
work? Quick, easy and probably just as cheap.

The chase is to enclose the ductwork. Cosmetics.
