metal garage inside walls

[adam greene]

I have a 24x28 metal garage and I'm wanting to make the inside a lil nicer convertigo it into man cave / harley room anyways trying to figure out best way to get the inside walls look better. Right now it has metal 2x2 post every 5 foot and cealing is all open. I'm sure everyone has seen the metal garages. Would best thing be just frame in with 2x4s in between the metal posts and do plywood or sheet rock or what other options can I do

I've seen some really cool man-caves that were walled with pallet wood. Gives a very rustic look on the cheap. You can go a lot of different directions with it as well - you can go towards the Irish pub look, steam punk, industrial, hunting lodge, you name it!

Some inspiration:

I specifically ordered my building 4' OC and used 3/4" T&G subfloor plywood on the walls. I painted it white with exterior semigloss paint. I am very happy with the results.

It will be a little more difficult being 5' OC.

Pics are in here I think (cant see the pics at work).

Metal stud framing and 4x12 sheetrock. You'll have 2' waste on each sheet that you can use where needed.

What if you took tin and laid it horizontally and put it up for the walls?

10' sheets would break on the studs. That would work and wouldnt have to worry about grinder sparks.

Picture Doctor Loveliss from the movie Wild Wild West. Turn of the century copper and chrome meets rustic wood and steam powered mechanisms with a mix of rusty metal, weathered leather and mesh.

Hard to put words to it, but it's kinda cool in a sci-fi geek sort of way.

Thanks man!! I had an idea but was kinda drawing a blank. That summed it up pretty good!!

You can order tin about any length you need so you could get them to the length of your walls and not have any overlap joints.

Really don't wanna do tin the whole outside is tin and beating grinding or anything will almost deafen you.

Painted spray foam insulation.

 

[adam greene]

I thought about doing the spray foak found a kit online to do it. But really wanna make it nice inside

If you put metal on the inside and left the top piece off and filled the void with spray foam it shouldn't have any problems with it being load

If you put spray foam or some kind of insulation in the wall it should be about like any other wall.
