Wall studs are usually placed about 12 to 18 inches apart depending on the type of construction and the building codes in your particular area. The closer together the studs are located, the stronger the structure becomes.

Why do studs need to be so far apart?
Studs need to be spaced quite far apart in order to provide sufficient structural support for the wall. This spacing helps distribute the weight and load of the wall evenly, ensuring its stability and strength. It also allows for the installation of insulation or other materials between the studs to improve the wall's energy efficiency.
