Metal building attaching inside walls

[Gerald]

As most know we are building and I am getting a new shop. This is a metal building, not the kind with large I-beams. I will be adding stud walls inside only around the perimeter . I plan to put 1 x 3 around the building to attach stud wall and of coarse attach bottom plate to concrete. My question is should I attach wall to just one 1 x 3 or have a upper and lower 1 x 3?

Hey Gerald, so the metal building had small vertical ibeams that support the metal walls, and you want to scab on the 1x3 so you can drywall the interior?

I think I would use the 1x3’s at the top and mid way to the floor to provide more rigidity when adding wall coverings/internal storage

Yes . But it is not I beams, more like formed steel.

I would definitely frame it out, bottom, top. What's going to be your spacing between the 1x3 studs (so to speak).

Planning on 16 for studs

Your installing your wall covering over the 1x3's right?
