Hi,
Am building a 4m high stud wall over a 15m length (it's in a commercial unit we're converting to a church). Are there any special precautions I should take with regard to the height ?
I'm planning to use 4" x 2" uprights at 400mm centres. The big question is regarding stability at the centre of the wall (just under 4m). I was also planning to build the wall in situ - ie. get 4.5m lengths of 4" x 2" and do the whole length in one piece. I have had advice that I should make up the wall in segments and then bolt it together in place.
Anyone with experience in building a stud at this height and able to pass on any advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Pete
