Suspend ceiling on metal portal roof pitches

Post a reply

Hi all
I was after some advise on how to suspend a plasterboard ceiling. I use metal framing all the time but have a client who wants to suspend a framing system off a metal portal roof. Can anyone point me in the right direction for fixing hangers onto the roof frame? The portal roof needs framing out on the slope to give a full height ceiling. The portal is made of steel box section. Any ideas?
