Low wind loads and a floor bracket close to the wall: the light steel brace does the job.
Bracing against steel?
We also make braces with magnetic clamps that hold straight onto steel, with no drilling. They are sold as separate products.

Brace length needed: about 8.4 ft
Allowable load at this length: about 1280 lbf along the brace, 900 lbf horizontally at 45°. Includes a safety factor of 1.5.
The operating instructions recommend attaching at 3/4 of the wall height or higher.
Always use at least two braces per element.
