Ceiling Support Beams
G'day ppl,
I have submitted plans for the Toilet/Shower Combo in my Garage/Shed.
The Inspector OKed them.
This area has the Internal Measurments [ Wall to Wall ] of 2050mm by 2500mm.
What other options do I have for Ceiling support over this short span [2050mm] ?
I most likely will use 450mm Stud centres, Steel frame, [75mm Steel Top Plate] Villaboard internal lining.
Don't know what external lining I'll use, not yet anyhow.Navvi

90x35 P10 will span that easily @ up to 600crs. Not sure what options you have with steel as I'm just an old truss detailer

Staying Steel Frame
Ta Dave,
But I'd like to keep it Steel.....Sorry to the Purists.... Though the Shed will be used for inclusive of WoodWorking.
Steel frame because of the Possible Termite issues.
Thinking of one of these below; supported by the Walls.
Then Zinc or Gal Ceiling Batons at 600mm Centers, perpendicular; going the 2500 length.

Best I take my own advice I often give
Go see the Local Building Inspector......Navvi

why dont use commerical grade metal stud and track by a company such as rondo.
studs go at 600mm centers, bottom track is fixed to slab ad top is fixed to ceiling framing.
villaboard in side is ok why dont you sheet the out side with plywood so that you can hang tools or jigs on it.
make sure you put blocking behind villaboard wall sheets to take you trowel rails and totilet roll holder, plus a timber pecie in the back of the jamb stud at the door way so you have something to screw your jamb too.

Roof Support
Ivan,
The toilet in my shed (see below) is 2400x1900 and the builders used 100x50 'C' Section spanning the 2400 distance to fix the ceiling to.
