Im having trouble locating the proper attachment method of 5/8" plywood to 20 guage steel studs. Can anyone help me with this? I work in Florida so if that helps.

Re: Florida Code

Screws have to conform to SAE J78 they have to be #8 self-drilling tapping screw 6" OC at edges and 12" OC at intermediate supports. Don't hold me to it, check with your local code and check the fastening schedule on the plan, that is what you have to go by.
