Building materials that are crooked or slanted?

[snowjim]

Hello,

I have addressed a moisture problem in our sunroom and therefore bought some wood material (panel and impregnated studs) from a large chain. Much of the material is far from straight. I'm obviously not a builder, so my question is, of course, if this is standard and what can be done about it?

We have installed 3 vertical 45x95 studs that are to be covered with paneling, but it turns out that the studs are not straight, which makes it very difficult to attach the paneling. At the floor, they are even, in the middle, there's a 15 mm gap (the panel wobbles), and at the top, there's a 5 mm gap.

As for the paneling, we had to spend a lot of time in the store before we found something that was reasonably okay, but there was still a slight curve in the material. The hope is that it won't matter once it's cut.

The question is how to solve the stud problem? I suspect that adding smaller horizontal studs in the middle won't help?

Is it a load-bearing construction? Otherwise, you can cut a notch on the outside (if it bulges outward) and pull the notch together with an angled wood screw.

No, this is not bearing, I have actually never heard of a skråad wood screw, do you have more info on how this works?

That is a scourge when building with living material. It rarely becomes perfectly straight. I use a planer on everything that needs to be clad. It's so much easier then. A cut on the outside works and pull it together with a screw at an angle to make it straighter. It's called skråa.

It is not without reason that there is an old craftsman's saying; "A little crooked is also straight".

No, this is not load-bearing, I've never actually heard of a slanted wood screw, do you have any more information on how this works?

Saw a cut according to the image. Insert a wood screw. The screw will pull the cut together so the beam bends. In the case below, to the left, i.e. inward if done from the outside.
