hi all, firstly may i say ,,, great site, just what i was looking for.
i am thinking of building a studio/jam room at the bottom of my garden, approx 4.5m x 3m.
on a post and frame deck ,
my question is,,,,, has anyone used metal stud instead of timber for the wall and roof construction?
i was thinking 6 inch with a construction of ,,, cladding,breather,osb,stud( with 3inch celotex and 3 inch acousti-slab) ,soundblock pb.
any suggestions are welcome and i will be needing advice left right and centre as im not a builder .
many thanks in advance,
new studio construction

You'd probably be better off going with a more common technique, such as the typical one used by most forum members, and most professional studio designers. - Stuart -cladding,breather,osb,stud( with 3inch celotex and 3 inch acousti-slab) ,soundblock pb.
