Will start constructing a machine hall shortly with loose timber and plan to use standard 4.2m studs standing. This is to accommodate 2-post lifts in the future, 4m high doors, etc. Wondering if I need to reinforce between the studs with short horizontal studs? It will have metal sheets on the outside and inside for bracing.
Horizontal nail battens on the outside, 45x45 studs on the inside to which the sheet metal is attached. That should be fine, right? The sheet metal braces everything, so I don't need to place any diagonal brace between two studs or anything like that?
The factors you need to consider are span, roof pitch, snow load zone, and the self-weight of the roof structure, which together determine the centric load each joist will be subjected to. The major issue with such tall joists is the risk of buckling, which differs in the x- and y-directions when you have a joist with a rectangular cross-section. The risk of buckling in the x-direction can be limited with nogging pieces, and in the y-direction by choosing sufficiently deep joists, 95, 120, 145 mm, etc. The amount of nogging and suitable cross-section of the joists can be determined using a table in the timber guide (www.traguiden.se) called "columns braced with structural timber" if you know the centric load on each joist. The stabilizing ability of the sheet metal should probably be disregarded in this case.
The nail rule creates the stability you seek. Of course, you can add diagonals if you want, it might be appropriate to do so immediately when you're aiming the framework.
Otherwise, you could say that the dimensions of the framework timber are primarily sized to "accommodate" insulation thickness, not to handle load. That is, there are good margins for strength. However, it's always good to calculate it.

Nogging pieces are better than nailers if you don't have nailers on both the outside and inside. When you reach a wall height of 4.2 meters, the risk of buckling is the most important design factor.
M800.... You can reduce the dimension of the frame to use nail battens both on the outside and inside. Such a wall becomes extremely stable and additionally you get insulation without any major seams.
It also allows for installation space, meaning the vapor barrier doesn't have to be penetrated by electrical boxes and the like, since the vapor barrier is installed behind the inner nail batten.
