Can I remove studs under the stairs?

[victorpajas]

Hi! I am renovating the basement and want to create a clothing storage under the stairs.

Therefore, I wonder if I can remove these studs you see in the picture.

There used to be a partition wall with a small entry that led under the stairs. But this space was narrow, cramped, and hard to store things in.

Therefore, I wonder if these studs can be removed without affecting the stairs.

No, they support the severed beam.

Hello again

I have found a drawing where I marked with a red pen where those studs are. It doesn't seem that there's anything load-bearing.
Next to it, there is a load-bearing beam, but right next to the stairs, it doesn't seem like there is anything.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Sure, you have a 75x195 at the end of the joist, but the big question is what supports it? You need to ensure that the cut-off joist doesn't sag. This is done by the wall you have there today. You can relieve it with pillars and a potential beam.

hm. ok

My thought is actually not to remove all the studs.
I was just thinking that I would have larger spacing (about 80 cm instead of 60 cm) between the studs so I can build pull-out cabinets under the stairs.

Since I have you on the thread, can I somehow remove the horizontal wood that the studs stand on?
It’s a bit problematic if I'm going to have pull-out cabinets between the studs.
Either I want to remove it completely, but then I don't know how to attach the studs to the cement floor, or if it is possible to use an aluminum profile that can be bent down between the studs?

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

If you have the 75x195 beam drawn at the end of your floor structure and it is securely attached to each floor joist, you can space the studs more widely. You can remove the sill. An alternative for attaching the posts is to screw down two 8-10mm screws into the concrete, sticking up about 100mm. Then drill corresponding holes under the post and place it there. Don't forget a little plastic between the wood and concrete.

If you have the 75x195 sim is drawn at the end of your floor structure and it is securely attached to each floor joist, you can space out the studs. You can remove the sill. One option for securing the posts is to screw in 2 pcs of 8-10mm screws into the concrete that stick up about 100mm. Then drill corresponding holes under the post and place it there.

Good tips.
Thanks for the help!

Have a nice day!
