Plaster boarding over tie straps

[Screech20]

Hey guys,

Soon I'm going to be plaster boarding my Timberfre garage.

I'm not too sure how to go about the boarding over the various metal brackets/tie down straps.

The only thing I could come up with is to use the thermal plasterboard, where it will form around the metalwork rather than make plasterboard not sit flat.


Any other ideas apart from this?


Cheers

Cut out notches in the board where underlying objects interfere, then fill with bonding and tape over before skimming.

I'd just cut the paper, and scrap the back of the board to form a recess. You don't need to do anything for those joist clips, it wont affect the board

Insulation?, VCL layer?, spacing of uprights?

Could you elaborate on your questions to me please?

If you are going to the trouble of plasterboarding the inside of your building. It sounds as though you hope to use it for an office/play room. if you are going to use it as a garage or workshop then plasterboard would not be my cladding of choice.
With a timber framed building the void inside the OSB would be filled with insulation. Then the internal side would be covered with a VCL vapour control layer (thin plastic sheet), this is to stop your hot steamy breath percolating through the wall and as it travels through the insulation, it will get colder and near the inside of the outside OSB, the dampness will come out as real water. The process will continue until the frame rots away. Once this has happened the resulting holes allow the the inside of the wall to dry out. The panel could be very wide, fixings for plasterboard should be a maximum of 2' centres. If you just screw it up around the edges (4 feet apart) then a slip or a push against it and you will break the plasterboard.

Thank you for your input.
I am insulating it, already got that. But I'll be honest, completely forgot about the vcl, it crossed my mind when I planned it all but it's now got to this stage and just been reminded, so thank you.
The studs are at 16" centres.
