Plasterboard on horizontal studs??

[janssonj]

How is it easiest to put up drywall on horizontal studs? I would really like to avoid blocking at every joint. Does anyone have a better suggestion???

Laying drywall?

Otherwise, you can place the drywall upright, screw into the studs, and use metal straps between the sheets.

How much do those metal straps cost?? Sounds like it could be expensive :-/

50 meters on a roll costs 1095:-, and 1440:- for the folding model according to the price list I have right now.

I screwed standing OSB onto horizontal studs (45*45), used small pieces of OSB (250*450) as support along the long edges. Then it was just a case of plastering the whole thing as usual

Why not lay OSB first and then put up the plasterboards as usual? Works fine for me.
