How to build a Frame?

[Great]

Hi, a question about 2 different techniques, pros and cons

1. Cut all the footings exactly, use sill paper on them, and place a 170*45, then position a so-called top plate on one side in the form of a 170*45, and then notch it equally in all wall studs.

OR

2. You place post shoes in all the footings, stand one 170*45 vertically in the post shoe, and then place one 170*45 on top, which will also partially rest on the floor joists. Then you just place the wall studs on top of this.

???

Would definitely go with option 2. However, with slightly larger stolpskor so that you can at least fit 2 pieces of 45X170 standing in your stolpskor. I see these as a load-bearing beam.
On that beam, I then place the golvåsarna and on top of the golvåsarna, a sill is then attached.

Okay, if I go with option 2, I'm thinking of using a single 220 standing on the foundation shoes to allow for 220 insulation in the floor, shouldn't that be sufficient as a beam, or do I need to use 2?

This will only be a shed/storage with an insulated part where you can have something like a bunk bed and some items that need to stay warm.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by floor joists?

I was thinking of placing a 170 or 195 on top of this 220 and then stacking with wall studs, is that wrong thinking?

What are your loads and spans? At www.traguiden.se you can find tables and design of load-bearing structures for timber construction.
