Using metal studwork for 1st time
Posted: Wed Jun 02, 2010 3:33 pm
Hi,
I would like to dry line my utility room as its old and pretty grotty. It's approx 4m long by 2.6m wide and 2.9m high. I have been told that I can use metal studwork as it's "fairly easy" to use. Is this true and how does the system work please? I guess there will be a head and foot rail with stud uprights but would it need cross rails for support if so how and where are they fixed in place? I consider myself a not too bad DIYer so am confident to do it but as always, knowing where to start always helps.
Any advice would be good please....
Thanks Henrietta.
