You will stiffen up the box beam even more by installing a couple of cross plates between the two beams. This will help eliminate any tendancy to twist. A piece of plywood every 4', plus end caps will do a lot.

: For a box beam, it would be quick and simple, though. I'm planning to use a
: pair of 10" or 12" TJI's as the sides, with 3/4" plywood
: 8" wide screwed to the top flange, and 3/8" or 1/2" plywood
: for the bottom of the box. I also planned to mount electrical boxes in
: cutouts in the TJI web area to have plugins all along the boxbeam.
