Hello!
I have purchased the book "Garageboken" but unfortunately, I must say that it does not answer all the questions as I am planning to build my own garage.
For example, I wonder what would be correct in the following case for a load-bearing wall of 3900mm.
The studs, sill, and top plate should be made of 45*120 studs.
If I understand correctly, the standard for the center-to-center measurement for the vertical studs is 600 mm.
But in this case, I wonder if the upper example is more correct than the lower, i.e., you go with 600 cc as far as possible and have a small piece left at the end since it doesn't add up evenly.
Or should one, as I actually believe gives better stability and strength, distribute the studs as evenly as possible?
Many thanks for the answer!
Best regards,
Fredrik

It's clear that the wall will be a bit stronger if you squeeze in more studs, but I think it will be stable enough with the upper option. Additionally, the insulation and gypsum/chipboard will fit on the upper stud.
And yes, c600 is one of the standards.

Run CC60. As mentioned, it will be much easier to build that way. To prevent it from bending, you can place a couple of nail plates crosswise between the sill and the hammer beam. This will make it super stable.
