Steel Liner Panel Wall Questions

[Kristang]

I am about to order my liner panels for the interior of my new garage. I have searched for hours on the internet looking for information on what is the best process to flush mount electrical receptacles/switches and how to mount cabinets to the wall on the outside of the steel or better to apply the steel around the cabinets? Any ideas or information would be GREATLY appreciated!

If you want the best stability of the receptacles, mount the electrical boxes to a piece of uni-strut anchored to the floor. If placed the correct distance from the wall, the cover plates will be tight against the liner panel. I ran conduit behind the wall to make the wire easier to pull, but MC cable is likely cheaper. I also used metal cover plates to keep with the all metal theme.

I found the easiest way to wall mount things was to put a vertical board between the girts that gives you a stable anchor point. I did this for my heat pumps, boiler etc. My thickness ended up being 1-1/4", so planing down 2x6's was the easiest way.

You can buy adjustable electrical boxes (more $$$), but they allow you to adjust the depth of the face (flush to the finished wall). Some have quite a bit of travel.

My building is stick built, 2x6 construction, so no girts. Any pics of the Unistrut and how you mounted it? The adjustable boxes are a good idea! Thanks!
