Hello, anyone know the best way to attach wood to metal studs and metal exterior walls? Im building a 17' X 15' loft in a metal building. One side will attach to metal interior wall and the other to the exterior metal wall. I plan to use 2x10's because its just for storage but need to know best fasteners to attach with. Any help would be appreciated, Thank You

Why not build it freestanding so it can hold real weight.
By far the best solution !

Needs to be freestanding.

Don't rely on the steel structure for the strength needed for load bearing walls and floor in a storage situation. The vast majority of steel buildings are designed to hold themselves up but little or nothing else.
