    must looking for some advice, have been looking at building an outdoor building, 9m wide.

    with 3m wide office and the remainder as a storage area.

    I was looking to build this out of timber stud, with corrugated metal outside, insulation and OSB interior with a metal roof.

    But was just looking at steel frame sheds - would this be somthing anyone has bought the components of before and built their own ?

    hard to find specs online or where to buy - was thinking perhaps the metal stud used for internal work may be a different product ?

    dont want to buy it premade as cost is out of budget, timber is possible but just to look at metal as alternative.


    thanks

    No issues with doing that.

    But the steel stud for partition walls (eg Gyproc studs) are lighter than the steel for structural walls.

    One options is a steel frame in PFC, SHS, etc. With steel stud infiil. Alternative the other options is to use a heavier gauge steel framing system designed for eternal walls.
