evening all ;D......ive just had an enquirey into a stud wall that is only 1000mm wide of each wall so they can tuck wardrobes etc against it ....i know how to fix the head plate but do i screw the base plate straight into the floorboards or will it need to be into a joist?.....also with the vertical stud running up the side it'll be sound if the walls rendered but what if its dabbed?.....do i need to fix to it or just fix it to the head and base plate ?
 
Screw the channel into the floor and fix the head then crimp your studs it should hold together if the studs are tight into the channel
 
how do you mean crimp jetman? ...does this mean i dont have to fix the vertical stud into the adjoining wall?
 
If you can fix the head and base the sides wont need fixing mate, If you hav'nt got a crimp tool for the studs use wafer head screws
 
k, my way (which is prolly every other chippies way)
if your usin cls, par or rough cut 3x2 make it on the deck.
cut your head and sole plate to length, lay one on top of the other. take a tight measurement from the top of these to the ceiling joists. cut your studs to this length + 2mm
nail the whole thing together on the deck, much easier cos you can stand on the studs and tosh nail the studs from the back side of the head/sole plate.
get the head under the right spot and kick the bottom in.
stick the level on it both ways and plumb it up
nail it to the ceiling joists and to the floor joists (1 every joist, tosh em if you like)
the wall side wont go anywhere if the wall hasnt been touched yet cos youll either board or re3nder it both sides.
if your board or render will cover the stud simply sit the stud an inch or so in from the end (dont need to fix it remember)
make sure anywhere theres a door theres a good fixing in the bottom corner, theyre a bugger for moving..
make sure anywhere theres a corner youve included another stud for the inside board...

dunno if this way works with gypframe systems tho, might bend em..
