Steel studs + panel?

[Buuzzz]

I have tried to find an answer to my question, but when I search, I find too much information.
My problem is that I need to frame an (outer) wall with metal studs, and on that wall, I want to attach horizontal paneling. How should I attach this to the metal studs?
Or should I skip the metal studs and frame with wood studs 10-30 mm from the outer wall instead? Then, I have no problem attaching the paneling...

Is it a basement wall?

You must screw the panel, alternatively screw in a spikregel.

 

[hheheh]

bah!
I'm facing exactly the same issue (inside basement wall, that is). I haven't decided how to do it yet, but screwing the panel is, as mentioned, an option, if you can find a good screw. Another option I've considered is to screw a vertical 20x45 batten onto the standing steel stud and then nail the panel into that. With a ventilated air gap behind it. Matti_75 probably meant something similar.

I am currently adding extra insulation to the house with steel studs. Check out Lindab RFLEX.

Screwing the panel seems difficult - better to nail.

I would have installed a vapor barrier on the steel studs and then a thin strip, like 22x45 as hehehe writes. Then the panel on this.

It works great to screw the panel if you have a decent screwdriver. If you use color-matched screws (white for white panel, etc.), it also looks good; I usually use grabber drywall screws 3.9x32. "Hang" the square on the board when you set the screw, so it ends up in the same place every time

Where are you with the studs if you're using a vapor barrier, not in the basement I hope for your sake.

Sorry, didn't realize it was a cellar wall. Just read "outer wall."

Have been absorbed in work in the basement, but thanks for all the answers. To answer some questions, yes it is a basement wall and yes it is an exterior wall! I'm actually considering going with possum77's advice to screw the panel and I'm using Festool T15 so screwing is not a problem
