I'm in the process of installing sparse spacing in the ceiling of the garage. In the middle, I have an IPE beam and I'm a bit unsure about how to cover it with plasterboard. How is it usually done, is there anyone who can guide me through the procedure or where I can find more information on it?
I have an idea that you can drill holes in it to screw a piece of wood on each side. Then I get stuck on the flange being 50 mm...
Grateful for a bit of help so I can make progress on my construction...

If you can also access the top side of the beam, I would probably make frames with sparse around the beam. I would first make a U with 3 sparse pieces and hang around the beam before screwing on the last sparse piece. Then I would cover everything with plasterboard. This will, of course, make the beam a bit thicker, but you can probably live with that.
Use a bolt gun, it's fine to fasten a 22mm board both in the beam life and underneath, then screw the plasterboard into the wood. Last time, I had yellow shots in a Spit bolt gun, the beam was an IPE270, which means quite thick material, it pierced through without issue./MLj
Isn't it possible to just drill and screw the studs in place?
