Metal Shop Interior Wall Question

[Thomas41]

I am in the process of finishing out the interior of my garage that is a metal building. I've ran into a problem and not sure what to do...since it's metal building, I only have the structual metal framing that the outside metal is attached to. The structual metal is spaced roughly a little over 4 feet apart. So my question is what would be the best way to build the framing between the structual metal framing so i can attach OSB to be able to have interior walls? I am wanting to be able to hang overhead cabinets on the wall as well as shelves.
Thanks everyone for your help

Frame it out with 2x4s, insulate and rock it

I am not sure how to attach the 2x4s between the metal frame, so they will be strong enough to support cabinets....That's what I need input on.

Frame it about 2 foot centers with 2x4 framing and deck with a layer of 1/2" plywood bridging over the face of the beams. Secure plywood to beams with shelf tapping 3/16 or 1/4 siding bolts. Then apply sheetrock if desired. Make sure sheetrock is fastened 1/2" off floor if you pan to wash floors.

Here what I did. Used a self taping 3" screw and went through each 2x4 and into the steel purlin. Then sheetrocked it. Installed the cabinets to the studs. No issues at all.

wedge the 2x4 wall frame in tight between the metal uprights, bolt it if you need to

that what I did, using 7/16 bolts

That's exactly what I am looking at doing....except my building in not built like yours. So, I am going to wedge the frame between the metal uprights and attach it to the metal. when you say 7/16 bolts, are you talking about a self tapping bolt, or you mean the type you use a nut with? Also, awould using (3 or 4) 3' self-tapping screw per side to secure the frame would work?
