Remember when you be sitting in Pre Algebra whining WHEN R WE EV4R GONNUH USE THIS DUMB STUFF?
Now is the time
Get a cassette measure and buy the neighbor's kid a shiny spanking new video game
Answers: Generally speaking, most walls are built surrounded by eight foot sections, and respectively stud is placed at 16 inches on center.
Here is the formula
8 feet = 96 inches
Start a nought 0 16 32 48 64 80 96
So for the studs you would need seven 2x4x 8 studs
you in a minute need to attach them to a bottom and top plate so you call for to purchase two more making it a total of 9 per eight foot run
The bottom plate if being secured to concrete should be pressure treated wood
So you entail to take that into consideration.
Other factor will be the windows and doors, you necessitate to add two more studs per porthole and door opening.
I hope this information shall be of benefit to you.
I own just timetabled the basics and you will have need of a few extra studs to support the window sills and skylight headers.
I would recommend that you buy 70 regular 2x4x8 studs
And 8 pressure treated studs.
Good luck with the project.
Also undergo in mind that you entail to secure the bottom plate of the wall to the concrete using pressure treated fixings, it will fall through inspection if you use regular fixings.
If you wish the ceiling to be taller than eight foot high, buy longer studs, comprehensible but easy to over look when you are surrounded by the store.
If you would like me to confer you step by step directions upon building the room I shall be happy to email you the information, paul.britishbuilders@YAH00.COM
