Converting a storage unit into usable space.

[mcnultyj111]

Hi all -
I'm looking for some advice on the best way to batten out the inside of a metal storage unit (see attached photo).

The walls have existing vertical metal rails with slots/holes running along them. I'd like to attach wooden roof battens vertically over these rails, essentially using them as spacers to create a framework for boarding out the inside.

Ideally, I'd like to avoid drilling or screwing into the existing metalwork, as I don't want to damage the unit or compromise its structure.

I've considered self-drilling screws, cage nuts and various clips, but I'm wondering whether there's a fixing that could utilise the existing holes in the rails, preferably something that can be fitted entirely from the front without needing access behind them.

Has anyone done anything similar, or can recommend a suitable fixing or alternative method?

Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!
