Installing a ceiling in a new basement?

Question

I have a manufactured home and trying to finish the basement. I am stuck on how to install a ceiling being there are steel beams instead of wood therefor nothing to attach a grid to. Any ideas or anybody ever done this before?

Answer 1

Are you referring to metal studs or iron beams? A drop ceiling uses wire to hang brackets that might be able to support the ceiling  grid that will support the ceiling tiles.

Answer 2

you could buy screws with a drill point and a hex head.attach with these to the metal beams drop down enough to clear obstacles support grid with wire hung from screws
