Hey, I’m in the middle of building a double garage, and when I went up to lay the sheathing, I noticed that the entire frame was wobbling. Is this normal? Even now, with all the sheathing on, it still wobbles a bit. Will this be fixed with the facade or when there's more weight due to the roof tiles?

I'm a bit worried that I might have missed something I should have included haha, I'm attaching some pictures so you can see how the frame is built.

By the way, I’m thinking that the sheathing doesn’t necessarily need to go all the way up to the ridge. The small gap of about 5-7 cm that I have now can be covered with paper, then I'll add ridge board holders, a ridge board, and ridge insulation over it, so it seems unnecessary to spend the time making it perfect there, what do you think?

Edit: I assume that the sill insulation, which is about 1 cm foam, might make the whole thing a bit more wobbly?

No, it is not normal. The stomme should be stable.

There is nothing in the pictures that protects against shear movement. Add some braces.

Can you see anything obvious that I have missed?

Is it something that you place between the roof trusses then?

Put it on the inside of the frame. Diagonally over a few bays. A regular board

Oh okay, so it's just something temporary?
Shouldn't the facade have the same effect when it's on? But absolutely, I will do that until the facade is on.

The facade will help. If you had used exterior gypsum or asfaboard instead of fabric, it would have taken care of everything. Now I would have put perforated band under the fabric, at least one cross per side.

Does it work well to mount it on the inside and then let it stay there under OSB and gypsum? Or it will be under the installation kit, in any case.

I would not want to rely solely on the outer panel for stability. If someone wants to replace it in the future, the house might collapse. Invest a few hundred in hammarband / hålband.

Yes, that's what I'll go with. I'm just wondering if I can install it on the inside before the installation kit arrives, what do you think about that?

Yes, that should work. Use galvanized/stainless steel tape just to be safe.

Catastrophe, the essential elements are missing to prevent the building from collapsing completely, stays are needed in both corners that do not have doors, see picture and do it immediately before Wooden construction frame with missing diagonal braces marked in red, highlighting critical areas that require reinforcement in the corners.
