[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 3931767, member: 14646"] I was planning to hold it off a 1/4" or so but since I do have some 3/8 or 1/2" scrap plywood I'll probably just use that for spacing to hold it off the floor. The C channel is spaced about 48" horizontally. To be clear. There is a C channel on the bottom at the floor, then one horizontally ringing the shop at 48" height (on center) and one at 96" high (on center). The vertical 4x4 columns/posts are at 10' spacing. There are a handful of other vertical red iron supports to screw off to but guestimating I have probably 8-12 vertical 1.5"x3" C channel I need to weld in to use as screw backing. I don't mind the extra work to cut and weld them in. Sorta looking forward to that part. There just happens to be a ton of areas that have an open field of no steel support that are 4'x10' that offers nothing to screw to, which is why I'm welding the verticals in. Maybe I'll do a write up on this project with pics and the chaos that goes with it. [/QUOTE]
