Building stud wall with CLS 2.55m high

[spada01]

I've got to build a stud wall 2.55m high. I've used CLS 89 by 38 before which only comes in 2.4m lengths. With the ceiling and floor piece I'm still going to be about 60mm short. I could run two pieces of timber along floor and ceiling instead of 1 to make up this gap, but it seems like a bodge.

What would you guys do?

I would get myself down to the local timber merchants and purchase some longer lengths, but the doubling up idea is a fair one.

Yeh, you can get 3m cls.

You would probably want two or even three lengths along the bottom to give a good solid base for the skirting in any case

And some 2.4 CLS is actually 2.44m.

But 3m lengths would be good, as the offcuts can be used for the noggins

Thanks guys - much appreciated. 3m CLS it is then!
