Standing OSB on horizontal stud

[OSTRUNE]

Hello
I am building a storage room. I plan to have an installation layer on the walls with 45mm horizontal studs, then OSB and drywall. The ceiling height is about 248, so if I go with horizontal OSB, I will need to put an 8cm strip to cover the entire wall.

Can I instead put vertical OSB on the horizontal studs, join the vertical seams with OSB strips, and then also place the drywall vertically with half-sheet offsetting of the seams and screw without regard to the placement of the studs?

How close are your studs and how large are the OSB boards? It's not an issue to have them standing on vertical studs as long as there is a stud behind the joints.

Place a 45x95 at the top so you have more material to attach your 8 cm OSB strip to.

Will you need to screw anything on the 8cm that are at the top?
Otherwise, just place the standing drywall that covers the gap... at the top...

they are the usual type 120x240 or 250.
These are horizontal studs hence the question. These will be spaced cc60.

Will you need to screw anything in on the 8cm that is at the top? Otherwise, just set the standing gypsum to cover the gap...at the top..

Nah. Maybe not, but it feels silly to take a chance. Plus, then I have nothing to attach the crown moldings to.

I'm in the process of building a storage unit. I plan to have an installation layer on the walls with 45mm horizontal studs, then OSB and drywall. The ceiling height is about 248 cm, so if I use horizontal OSB, I'll need to add an 8cm strip to cover the entire wall.

A storage unit like a shed? In that case, one option is to skip the installation layer and let the boxes go a bit into the insulation. VP tube drilled in the studs or up to the ceiling. That way, you also save 9 cm per side.

Yes, you can install vertical OSB on horizontal studs. An alternative is to use metal flashing in the joints or a T-profile.

Don't make it more complicated than necessary. Standing OSB/chipboard on horizontal 45x45 is more or less standard in factory houses, there is nothing placed behind the seams except in the corners where either you stud with standing rule pieces or place a metal angle between the wooden boards and the plaster. You don't need to offset the seams with half a board either, as long as both screw rows are on the same board, there's no problem.

Thanks, I'll continue with that.
