About tempered hardboard (masonite), I just read that there are five different grades, and one of them doesn't like paint. https://harborsales.net/Portals/0/docs/hardboard_what_is_it.pdf In lieu of reinventing the wheel or taking every project as an opportunity to do something a little different, our original poster might be better served finding something already proven in the field. If he plans to weld or have sawdust everywhere that might cling to trim boards or get stuck in reveals, then these factors shall rule his design solution.

Mark- by roofing panels do you mean the "5-V" sheetmetal panels like used for a barn roof?

The painted OSB in my garage (post #3) is over 10 years old. No warping, peeling, or discoloring.
It still looks like the day it was painted. I would def do it again. Last edited by stevej37; 01-04-2018 at 08:27 AM.. |

It's foil backed 1 inch styrofoam sheets. Very easy to attach and helps a lot to keep the heat in.

All the insulation board sold in the big-box stores have printing all over them. They are not plain like yours. Where'd you find it?

This is what we are doing over the OSB. Will be far more durable.

Steel on walls would likely require strapping (1x4") which would hold up light cabinets, heavy if you made sure you hit studs.

I agree that OSB isn’t as good as plywood for holding screws, but it’s ok for light stuff. Still easier to work with than thin steel siding I think. Totally agree that either way for heavy stuff you need to find a stud.

![]() You have to strap walls and metal is more expensive, but hands down metal is easy. You order it cut to length so only need to trim around odd bits. Metal sheet is light, just don't work it in a good wind. I just put a metal roof on my house and garage, my shop (12' ceiling) is metal inside and out. All done by myself, the odd help if available.

When using metal on the walls is all the electrical surface mounted?
Seems like a PITA having to cut the metal for your electrical boxes for switches/outlets.

It could be routed behind the liners with recessed boxes, but as you said each would need cut-out, which isn't that bad--you can use a grinder with a cut-off wheel, nibbler, or good old tin snips (most liners are 24 gauge or lighter).

Thanks for the replies, All. I think I will end up going with OSB. Since I'm not heating the place all winter, I will probably leave small gaps and seal with paintable caulk to allow for some movement.
Now I have to wait for warmer weather to move the cars out!

My garage is unfinished and I have a thermometer out there, the temp ranges from 20 in the winter to 100 in the summer. My OSB is butted together and it is totally fine.

What do you do when you want to get into the wall to add/or change some wiring? Drywall might not the the strongest but it patches really simply. That said, I had a few dents but nothing out of place in a shop.

I take the screws out of the OSB, remove the panel, add or change and put the panel back in.
