Thanks for these! The extra screws in your photos gave me an idea. I think I might “em-brace” the braces so to speak and add some extra screws/support to the steel tubes. I might also put another piece of u channel on the back of the braces to give them some more structure (and a flat surface to...

Thank you for that. I was hoping to potentially run my MC Cable for my electric behind the braces so I don't have to drill through any of the structural tubing, and then I can do my drops between the tubing. But if that's not possible I can explore other options.

Hey all. I'm getting ready to finish out the inside of my metal garage. It's a 40'x18' metal tube building. I'm planning to put H channel 24" OC to mount drywall/plywood too for the walls. My question is, am I able to also mount the H Channel onto the U Channel Braces for my drywall/plywood? Or...
