I am planning to build a utility building and have some questions about framing it. I have an existing building I plan to emulate. The new one will be smaller and won't have doors on the long side of the building.
The questions I'm considering are:
On the short side, as shown in the picture, when the studs are extended very high without top plates, do you build these on-site, meaning placing them one by one and nailing them? Or do you build them on the ground and raise them?
I am now planning to put a three-meter door on the short side instead, how do I frame that? The load of the roof trusses is still supported by the long sides, so the short side doesn't need to bear much of the load, I guess? The same short side where the door will be also needs to have a larger door to the attic for hay storage. So extending the studs as in the picture will be difficult, do you think that's a problem?
The gables do not take much vertical load but are useful for structural stabilization, i.e., for wind load if there are no interior walls parallel to the gables. For example, garages with a door on the gable can experience stabilization problems without interior cross walls.
