OSB - What horizontal "load-bearing capacity" does it have in e.g. roofs?
Why do you want to install OSB? The usual practice is to install furring strips at 300 mm centers and then gypsum on that.M MagHam said:
I know, it's a garage/workroom and I want to run surface-mounted electrical wiring (and have something to screw into) for several lighting sources. Plus, each cm is valuable since I'm already down to a 2.15 ceiling height.N NoOne2k said:

It is possible to calculate it, but I dare say straight away that it won't be good. OSB is not the right material for that task because it has poor tensile strength. The most optimal material (price/performance) I believe is thin birch plywood, approximately 12 mm thick with 9 layers.
