Metal studs are good choice because they are light, no saw dust and very easy to cut and install. If you need additional blocking for attaching things to the walls you can attach 1/2" cdx plywood between studs no problem. You should be able to find them at supply houses frequented by commercial contractors. Hope this helps, Doug

I was planning to use wood to finish up. But has anyone used aluminum? Are there pros/cons to either?
TIA
