Last winter I removed the insulation (6″ x 24″ batts) from the garage ceiling when the roof leaked. Roof’s fixed and I’d like to put the insulation back up. The roof is just plywood on 2×6 rafters – no sheetrock. The insulation has been up and down so many times to put in wiring & stuff that the vapor barrier face is all chewed up. Just as soon not have to buy new insulation. What could I staple up under the insulation to give me a decent vapor barrier – at least ’til I pull it all down for the next swell project?
Thanks in advance

Firstly - the garage is not a habitable room, so does it need a VB? If you think so, then temporarily use a cheap medium poly plastic (milroll, eg) until such times as you put the finish with the code-approved VB. If you don't think it needs a VB, then just staple string on the underside of the joists until ...etc.
All the best...
To those who know - this may be obvious. To those who don't - I hope I've helped.
