Hi all,
Work just got underway to convert a portion of my basement to a workshop and I have a question. We have a steel beam running down the middle of the house that will be the dividing line between finished basement and workshop. I will be building a wall at that beam. My question is, is there a good way to attach a stud wall to a steel beam, preferably under the beam rather than on the side of it? My first thought is to drill the flange and bolt a 2x4 to it. I think the steel is about 1/4" thick so it should be doable. Is there a better (easier) way to attach?
Thanks for your help.
