When Building A Wall How Far Apart Are The Studs. When you build a wall, the studs should be spaced equidistant from each other. Usually 16 inches or 24 inches on center.
How is the book organized?
The floors, walls, roofs and other parts of the building must be carefully designed and proportioned. Here's why the standard is 16 inches on center, and an 16 inches on center means the center of each 2x4 wall stud is 16 inches apart from the next one. The part upon which the stability of the structure depends is the basement. Stepping up to 2x8,10 or 12 parallel vertical studs generally permits up to 48″ spacing, though unless building for northern canada or alaska, i would still be inclined to you might find a 2x6 framed wall that has the studs on 24″ centers.
