Ok, I'm building a 10x12 foot outdoor shed on skids. I've got the
floor done- notwithstanding some "gotchas"- like forgetting to measure
and trim the rim & floor joists to length first (a 2x6x12 is actually
a 2x6x 12.5, 12.25, 12.65 etc), placing the floor joists 16 inches OC
from the ends of the rim joists rather than the OC of the first floor
joist (realized there was a problem when my floor decking, 4 x 8 PT
ply, didn't line up). grrrrr.....
Anyway, now I'm doing the walls. But I'm having trouble understanding
what my stud lengths should be. I'm doing four exterior walls, all
the same hieght, and I won't be finishing the interior. I want to use
4x8 T-11 siding, and would like to use all 8 feet of length.
I've found plenty of info online about how to frame, but little having
to do with measuring / cutting studs when using exterior siding. They
all just say to use 92 5/8 studs, which will make the wall 96 inches
when you are done. But...
My Sill plate= 1 1/2 inches
Top plate= 1 /12 inches
Second top plate= 1 1/2 inches
my flooring = 3/4 inch pt plywood.
That's already 5 1/4 inches. If I use 92 5/8 pre-cut studs, I will be
short somewhere. And do I extend the siding below the 3/4 ply? If
so, by how much? How about at the top?
Thanks,
