90mm flat head nails. Thanks for explaining what nails to use, surprisingly difficult to find a video which mentions it!

[@mitre10nz]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stuckster]

@@mitre10nz Why flathead nails? Why not bullet head? Thought flatheads were mainly used for holding ply and laminated timbers together.

[@brucey39]

@@stuckster Yeah I would have thought Jolt head nails are what is used for framing

[@kennyzafra5137]

You have a good channel brother

[@TeToruFarms]

I did 622 and X back. Use the 6 times table or 4 times table if 400 centres. 622, 1222, 1822, 2422. Felt it easier than going 1778 plus 600. Thinking about it as I'm writing maybe it's just because I like adding even numbers together as opposed to adding an even number to odd number in the 100th numeral position.

Great video for DIY

[@acorpus99]

Thanks for this video I finally know what's wrong with my studs. I thought the 600mm wall brackets sold in hardware store are useless because one end doesn't hit the stud as it is short. It's because the guys who did my framing measured 600mm instead of 578mm distance between them. 🤦🏼 Also my house is 2.7m high but only has one nog in between them and are not place in lined with one another 🤣

[@piotrpiotrowicz3036]

when the nogs aren't in line with eachother- we call that staggering. This is done for two reasons. 1. it's easier to nail, 2. staggered tends to offer more structural stability because there's more support inbetween the joins. I've seen videos of walls being framed with one nog in between, and videos with two. I think it comes down to the codes for your area, if you can get away with just one, nothing wrong with that (put it this way if it hasn't fallen over yet, is it going too?), but two is stronger, of course ;) that said for 2.7m high walls I think two noggins would have been the better option- but at least he staggered them as opposed to keeping them in line 600 in between is pretty lol though, like structurally, again, it won't fall down, but whoever threw it up obviously has a weird idea about what centers means :P

Great Video! Do you have another video for a stud wall that has a corner? So a short stud wall from a main wall, then another at right angles to that to the next main wall?

[@chrisnomad]

Really clear and concise. Thank you. just one Q. I have another shorter wall framing I'm going to attach perpendicular to this frame. Any tips on how to plan and attach?

[@mitre10nz]

HI Chris, thanks for the feedback! I would recommend heading into your local Mitre 10 so one of our Team can help you further with this ^Ryan

[@brighttooth3592]

Thank you

[@seraphim2017]

how did the other side of the noggin get fixed in if they were all level? I can't see how unless angled in? would it be easier to offset them slightly instead?

[@jaesedin]

seraphim2017 Exactly what I was thinking. I’ve looked at loads of stud wall videos, and the ones where the noggins are fitted straight line never show you how to fix the opposite ends! Hugely frustrating.

[@harleyP1988]

We angle the other side in

[@fanaticz666]

You can angle a nail from the other side of the stud into the nog or you can just skew a nail into the top of the nog

[@gzshanming]

This video is great. But I agree that it just missed out on how they fix all nogs at the same level.

[@keza41]

Still think you should have squared it up first, less stress on the timber that way but that’s just me. Other than that, another class vid.

[@nirmalrana3538]

Awesome

[@webslingernz]

Love the video! I want to build my own bathroom essentially by simply building a four frame wall fixed together and celiing. I'll let the plumber fit the shower, basin and toilet but as long as can build a nice small space that can comfortibly contain these admendities that would be great. I assume I can use the same princaples as your videos and take into account I am using siding that is water resistant. Any suggestions?

[@mitre10nz]

Kia ora. We'd recommend heading into your local store and having a chat with the knowledgeable team there, they'll be able to help you with any questions and help you find the right products, too. ^Rhi

[@CristianGantner]

Great video. What if i want to build a shed (5x3m) in the same style? Can i use this framing style?

[@rhyswilliams1998]

Cristian Gantner yes, there are plenty of videos for stick frame construction on here.

Hey Frank, unfortunately not but that's really awesome feedback so thank you for sharing.

[@TheDranny50ish]

not understanding nogs at 800 when gyprock is 1200 wide can you explain ?? cheers JIM

[@mitre10nz]

Standard practice now days is to horizontally fix to framing. Screwing is to the perimeter of the sheet only and glue is applied to nogs and studs. No nogs are required on the sheet joins ^Charlie

[@RobinHilton22367]

What additional work would be required if this was to be made load bearing?

[@tubestick00]

Robin Hilton nothing really. You need to be a licenced builder to build a load bearing wall or make any structural changes to the building. The only time you would be building a load bearing wall would be during the new build process and it will quickly become loadbearing as you put tye floor/roof ontop. The only other time you would need to build load bearing walls is to make an alteration to an existing building where you would need to prop and brace the structure etc. And you shouldnt really be attempting that that. Its is against the law for unlicensed people to install a structural component in a building in nz unless supervised by a licenced builder

[@amandaworley2064]

tubestick00 Very good explanation and advice...listen to that person lol. Building codes are there for safety so follow them and good luck finding and understanding them as well. Cheers

[@stephencarter8625]

If this is built tight, floor to ceiling, you'll not lift it into position, because across the corners will be longer than the vertical height...! Wouldn't you need to build in-situ? If so you'll need to tosh/diagonal nail the uprights.

[@JohnAndrews_nz]

yes I learnt this the hard way... good old sledgehammer to the rescue.

[@unusualpond]

Interesting that in NZ the noggins are continuous in line, not staggered. Is that code? Harder to nail in.

[@McrueProductions]

Was thinking the same.

[@menuly]

It's not hard to nail angle from the other side. They are all in a straight line so you can attach the plasterboard easier.

[@McrueProductions]

@@menuly makes sense I’ve only seen them built with staggering thought it had to do with the structural integrity of the frame.

Hi Luke, as nogs are sometimes used for fixing off, i'd recommend placing them in a straight line. 🤗 ^Cam

Americans call them sheer blocks because they add sheer strength

[@nzbtjnzbtj8162]

Not sure, can anyone clarify. I am a total novice at diy and thought this video would help me to build a simple wall with door in my garage. I watched the video 10+ times, measured everything twice, listed the materials and purchased everything to begin the project. It all went so well until the lintel. It didn't fit, it was too wide to allow for the finishing board, in my case plywood to have an even finish. Following the video it appears I have ended up buying the wrong size timber for the lintel. On the video the builder says at 9.28 mins the timber for the lintel is 150 x 50, so thats what I brought. Checking much later after much frustration the PDF file with written instructions says the lintel is 140 x 45. The builder should really have got the size exact and right in the video. You can see in the video at 10.06 the timber he used was an exact fit. Mitre 10 does it again?????? open to your comments.

If you're looking to square your wall @ 10:51👍

[@graemej2599]

He takes time to square his wall up, then without putting in bracing to secure the squareness he lifts the wall up and moves it. Why bother squareing the wall in the first place if you are not going to brace it ? This must be NZ building codes to allow for earthquake zones - loll.

[@Sildenafil_Damages_Eye_Retina]

The best way to brace a timber wall, is to put diagonal bits of timber, in between the studs and dwangs, fixed with gang nail tooth plates both sides of the wall frame. Run in a 45 degree line from top to bottom of wall.

You didnt show us how to nail in the nogs after the first one, !!? you obviously cant nail in the second one and all others from the side, because the other nog is the way, so you either have to off set the nogs or how to nail them side by side pls

Nail in from top or bottom at a 45 degree
