Outer wall studs against horizontal ceiling beam

[Stureparken]

Is this a correct way to connect wall studs to a horizontal ceiling joist?

Normally for an interior wall, you first attach the narrow paneling to the ceiling and then a top plate where you secure the wall studs.

Normally for an interior wall, you first place the glespanel in the ceiling and then a hammarnd that you attach the wall studs to.

might have been clearer. It's an exterior wall

Is this a correct way to connect wall studs to a horizontal roof beam?

Seems okay, but I would extend the red beam so it aligns with the corner.

Yes, that's okay, but pull them all the way up to the ridge. The only problem you might encounter is if you plan to build on the wall with additional studs on the inside, as you won't have anything to hang the inner ceiling on. This can be solved by nailing an additional stud to the roof beam, as you call it.

yes, but because I had the same question as TS, but for a porch

Well, because I had the same question as TS, but for a patio

I don't quite understand what you mean?

Sorry, replied and quoted in the wrong thread

Nej! The exterior wall should be braced at the top with a horizontal beam (header), creating a single frame. Ceiling joists are oversized unless there is a usable attic. These joists should be mounted on a so-called balloon beam, recessed into the load-bearing wall studs, ensuring a very strong ceiling structure. Another option is a platform construction.



Note that on the structure above, the ceiling joists, even without the use of spiks or scruws, carry significant loads. The connectors only fasten the structure and are not subject to shear loads at all.
