Fasteners:

		One option of fasteners would be to use 1 1/4 to 2 inch grabber screws.

		Another option would be to use 8 penny ring shank nails.

		All fasteners need to go through the OSB and into the metal.

		Fasteners need to be placed every 6 inches on vertical seams on both sides of the seams (staggered) and on both sides of the panel.

		Fasteners need to be placed every 12 inches on the base plates on both sides.

		Fasteners need to placed every 6 inches on the primary top plate and on the secondary top plate. You will need to stagger the fasteners so that there is 3 inches between the fastener for the primary plate and the fastener for the secondary plate.
