Metal or Wood Framed Home Building Tips - Which Ones Better?

Metal framing does NOT rust.

@joeycbn I've even seen stainless steel rust, what makes you think galvanized metal studs won't. I've torn out plenty of galvanized wall framing that was rusted when exposed to moisture, even while sitting directly on top of a concrete foundation, located inside a building.

Are most of the metal framing kits made of galvanized steel which is rust resistant?

@webdesign212 I don't know if most metal framing kits are made from galvanized steel, but most metal studs are. However you made a good point, some of this metal is rust resistant, not rustproof.
