Hello everyone.
Our prefabricated garage was installed on Monday. We chose a large steel prefab garage measuring 6 x 9 m (20 x 30 ft) from the company "Garagenrampe." We now want to add a partition wall inside.
I would like to build this using metal studs similar to those used in drywall construction. On these, I would first attach OSB boards, and then either gypsum board (drywall) or cement fiberboard on top.
My question is: Would this be feasible in an unheated garage where there is some moisture present? Is it possible to use OSB boards, for example? And is it really necessary to use cement fiberboard, or would impregnated gypsum boards be sufficient?
My main concern is mold growth.
Thank you very much in advance.

This is sheet metal. You screw on things less often here; I would prefer rivets.I would rather weld screws than rivet non-metal to metal.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Now my question: In an unheated garage, where there is some humidity, would this be feasible? For example, can OSB panels be used? And is it really necessary to use cement fiber boards, or would moisture-resistant drywall panels be sufficient?
My main concern is mold growth.
Thanks in advance. Hello,
how is the garage and the partition wall coming along? I have the same project with 6x9m (20x30 ft) and also from Garagenrampe. Are you satisfied, and could you share some photos of the finished result?
Best regards,
Sven
