Distance between studs?

[SethL]

Hello

Two connected construction cabins without a dividing wall, meaning it is completely open, need to be insulated from the inside.

My question is whether it must be 60 cc between the studs even though the outer walls are load-bearing?

The idea is to have OSB behind the gypsum boards, and what I'm concerned about is that in that case, you wouldn't be able to screw the boards in the middle, but what else could go wrong?

What exactly is the question?

There is absolutely nothing preventing you from adding more studs in the exterior walls. There is no requirement for them to be exactly c/c 600mm.

There are OSB and drywall in different widths. If you buy 1197/1200mm wide boards, it will work great with studs at c/c 600mm.

Are you a little concerned about the strength/load-bearing capacity, and for that reason considering the c/c measurement of the studs in the exterior walls?

The thing that becomes tricky is the cc measurement.
Is it at the joint between the two sheds that you are thinking of?

Insulation and panel material are available for cc45 or 60.
You can always add an extra stud if the distance between them becomes too large.

The issue is really the center-to-center measurement.
Is it in the joint between the two sheds you're thinking of?

Insulation and sheet materials are available for center-to-center 45 or 60.
You can always add an extra stud if the distance between them becomes too large.

And both sheet material and insulation can be cut if needed. 😁 Even if you don't want to have cut gypsum right in the middle of a wall...

It's naturally a cost issue, but with 12mm plywood on the walls, I wouldn't feel obligated to screw the gypsum into the studs.

What measurements are you planning to use?

There is absolutely nothing preventing you from adding more studs to the exterior walls. There is no requirement that it must be exactly c/c 600mm.

There are OSB and plasterboard in different widths. If you buy 1197/1200mm wide boards, it works perfectly with studs at c/c 600mm.

Are you a bit concerned about the strength/load-bearing capacity, and for that reason, considering the c/c measurement of the studs in the exterior walls?

I was thinking if I could have wider spacing between the studs just because the exterior walls are load-bearing.
I was wondering if it could be 1200 mm cc.

I was rather thinking if I could have 1200 mm cc between the studs or if it causes issues because then I have nothing to attach the middle of the sheets to.

1200 cc.

Is this about putting up interior walls? You haven't even hinted at that. 😅

I would go with c/c 450mm and 900mm boards. I'm too old to drag around 1200mm boards.
C/c 1200mm sounds very shaky. At least go with c/c 900mm. Keep in mind that there won't be tailored insulation (not the right size).
