Frequently Asked Questions
Measure the total length of the wall in feet from end to end. Include any corners or openings; the calculator accounts for them separately.
Standard stud spacing is 16 inches on center for residential walls. 24 inches is common for non-load-bearing walls or certain commercial applications.
Each corner typically requires two extra studs for backing and support. Each opening (door or window) requires two extra studs for framing the sides (king studs or trimmers).
