Steel roofing for walls?

Are you guys putting anything behind the corrugated metal panels......if not, just was wondering how much the 29 gauge metal will flex after being secured to 16" on center studs
 
I did my garage, it is 16" studs. It's okay but it's not as nice as putting nailers up and putting the steel on them.
 
The walls are almost all cleared off and nail free

One more small section of shelving left

Yes......paper faced R13

I figure 22-23 rolls at $9.19 a roll (32')
 
I would run nailers horizontally on that to screw the tin to. You shouldn't have a problem with air leaks with the over lap. Make sure to get your first sheet perfectly plumb it dictates the rest of them. Also remember to put your overlaps facing away from the way you usually look at the wall....make sense?
 
I installed kraft paper faced R13 rolls..........about 23 rolls (32' each) did the job along with a few hundred staples

I needed 16 panels, which are 39" wide which I overlapped one rib for a tigh no seam look

I bought 10' long sheets and had the metal shop cut them to 102" (the height of the walls) so there were not any horizontal seams

I kept the 18" drop sections for another project

The self taping corrugated sheet metal screws went in great, no predrilling needed

I did not need and furring strips, with 16" OC studs, the 24gauge metal panels are more than strong enough, no flexing

The shop is MUCH more bright now just with finishing the walls off

This wall is about 45 feet long
