Evening,
I'm planning a garden studio, and was thinking of timber-framing - until i got worried about how solid it would end up feeling.
Would 170mm carcassing, at 600mm centres, create a much stronger final building than 90mm?
I'm also worried about the sense of strength. For example, if walls made from single skin blocks are a "10" - on my invented tap-test scale - what are 90mm and 170mm timbers like?
Guessing this might not make sense, or that i might get ripped a new one for having such a strange question, but here goes....
