4m stud partition - extra reinforcement?


Ferdinand

Recommended Posts

I need to construct a partition 2.4m high across a 4m run, which is free at the top ... ie a high ceiling with a space above the partition.

 

I have not built one of these before ... can anyone advise on any extra measures I need to take for extra rigidity or intermediate support?

 

I am thinking 63x36 timber, normal spacing, and perthaps extra noggins. DO I eg need a joist across the top?

 

Cheers

It is to divide off 1/3 of an 8x4m storeroom to create a usable space, and a smaller store.

 

The plan is probably to board one side on ply, of which there is some available.

 

I should have said that the floor is a concrete slab.

 

I was planning concrete screws for attaching the wall plate.

 

Do I need a 4m length for across the the top?

 

Thanks

Further to this thread, these are photos of the space I need to subdivide.

 

As you can see it is a lean to profile, with a ceiling height running from approx 3m up to approx 4m.

 

I want a partition just on the far side of the electric double socket on the LHS, to give me a store at the end consisting of about 2-2.5m off the end of the room.

 

Having thought a little more, I think I favour putting a joist in with using mini joist hangers just below the heavy ducting, a floorplate, some verticals and then boarding out on the near side with ply or son to give a rigid structure. POtentially I could board both sides, but I am not sure if will need that.

 

Further comments are welcome.
