Is 2 by 4 walls and 2 by 2 rafters strong enough for a shingle roof?
This will depend on many things including:the spacing between the rafters;the spacing between the studs;the pitch of the roof;the wind zone;the type of fixings being used; andthe span of the rafters.Contact your local authority or a competent local builder or architect regarding what can be done in your area.
What is correct spacing for framing of studs?
The correct spacing for framing studs in a wall is typically 16 inches apart on center. This means measuring from the center of one stud to the center of the next. However, in some cases, spacing can be adjusted to 24 inches apart depending on the load bearing requirements of the wall.
How many 2x4 studs for a 12ft wall?
In England typical stud spacing is 16", so 10 studs. Sometimes people use 2' spacing, which would require 7 studs
What is the spacing between wall studs in any given room?

What does the span rating on a sheet off plywood indicate?
It's the maximum on-center (O.C.) spacing (in inches) of studs/rafters/joists that the sheathing is being attached to. Face grain of plywood is to be perpendicular to the framing members. Sometimes two span ratings are included. If that's the case, the larger number is the O.C. inches for roof sheathing use, and the smaller is for subfloor sheathing use.
What should stud spacing be in a house?
Studs are typically on 16 inch centers.
Should rafters be placed above studs?
To my knowledge, there is no code requirement to do so. Theoretically, if you place the rafters onto a properly fabricated double top plate of quality 2x4s, then the assembly should be structurally sound. On the other hand however, if the rafters are located directly above the wall studs, then it's possible that there would be a lessening of the normally very slight settlement [over many, many years] of the top plate.

How many dry wall screws per 4x12 sheet?
If you drywall on 16" on-centre studs, with sheet length perpendicular to the studs, and screw the two outside length edges at 6" spacing (as it should be) and the two interior studs at 12" spacing, the answer is 48 drywall screws per 4'x8' sheet.
What is the spacing for drywall screws?
everything including 5/8 drywall only requires 1 1/4 length drywall screws. you put them in 16 inches apart on the studs and in the center the same distance apart.
What is the meaning of sheathing?

What is the Bolt pattern 2004 Honda Accord?

How many 2x4 needed to frame 800 square feet?
The answer depends on the spacing of the 2x4s and the design of the structure (i.e. roof, the number of windows, & doors, etc). In general, though, if you figure there will be one 2x4 every 16 inches on center for the walls, you can roughly solve the problem as follows: 1. You can take the square root of your 800 SF to calculate the length of the walls. This would produce a structure that is approximately 28' 3" x 28'3" square (28.28 ft^2 = sqrt (800)). 2. Since you will have 4 walls and each wall will have at least 22 studs in it (22=28.28' * 12" / 16") then you will need at least 88 studs for the walls (88 studs =22 studs * 4 walls). 3. Assuming you make a simple slanted roof with no soffit overhang and 20" rafter spacing, you would need a minimum of 34 2x4s for rafters & a center support beam. (34 = (28.28' * 12" / 20" * rafters placed on both sides of a center support beam). 4. You will need 36 (2x4x10's) for wall sole & wall caps (36 = (28' 3" / 10 * 4 walls * 3 layers (1 sole + 2 cap layers)) Therefore, you would need a minimum of 158 (2x4s) (158=88+34+36). You would of course need more 2x4s for framing windows, doors, & any interior walls, closets, etc.
