Shannon from www.house-impr... shows you how to plan and create a wood stud wall used in framing a building.
Literally just built a 24 square garage using Shannon’s videos. Had the building inspector ask me who built it as the quality was of professional grade. Take every piece of advice Shannon gives, it’s worth it to take the time.
He thought a Canadian did the work
Great video....no annoying music and very clear instructions. Keep up the good work!
Yeah, whats with the lame music in those other vids? Really off putting. This guy is on point!
@@MrMerajjio you're so right guys
Great info in these videos. Good knowledge - shown in an easy to understand format- Thank you for sharing these.
@Lionel Rupke you are right. I don’t give a damn
Thanks for your kind words. Maybe I should be producing my videos in sets on dvds and selling them?
You should; a lot of DIYers are looking for in-depth explanations for these projects.
Yes you should do a series of home improvement videos. And write a book with pictures. I will buy
Absolutely !! Your manner of explanation is perfect.
Forget that man. You should build yourself a little online portfolio & sell access to them as individual courses based on categories. Or access to everything as a single course.
Sell access at one time payment. Or a subscription. Find yourself someone to help you with that man. Cause you definitely got something going for yourself here. You got the most straight forward & some of the most helpful videos here in TH-cam
You're a natural teacher. Very clear and well spoken. Thank you for all the great videos. I'm learning a lot with your help.

1:54. So many foremen and journeymen over complicate. They won't teach you the most efficient way because they don't want you to then do the job better. They don't want people after their job. Residential construction is usually straight forward, and shouldn't be that hard to teach. You're working with wood too, so it's not like you're drilling into metal studs with tech screws. And wood is easier to saw.
Hell yeah, great video!
Right?!? His my teacher .gonna help me build a room for my daughter. Just by watching his videos. This 35yr old single mother is determined. Thanks 👍
Gregvancom and Matt Risinger are the most annoying folks in the TH-cam construction field
The amount of information you have in the video is amazing. Im so glad you included the impact type screw driver because a lot of people don't realize the difference. Great job!
Who the heck is hitting dislike on these videos? The guy speaks english with good audio and video quality, and isn't using a tripod for 30 feet away. How do you dislike this? It's one of the best sets of home improvement videos on youtube, even if you use a different method than what is shown.
When I find that guy I’m going to 🤛
People who never worked a day in their lives probably. At home know it alls who are doing a basement project.
People don’t like to see things being build
How do you see when people dislike the video?
@@elpupusero it was a comment from nine years ago bud
I FINALLY 100% understand why you don't just use the 16" marks and start at 15 1/4. FINALLY convinced. Thanks!
I know what you mean, I have watched several videos that did not explain why you go back 3/4 of an inch. Very useful information
Same here. Used to not know what "on center" meant.
Thanks guys feel lil smarter that i knew that, but really feel slow where something possibly flew over my head. He mentions that, to get the stud height(to be able to cut all studs one time ) you measure the height of the wall then add the thicknes of 3 plates (1 1/2 x 3 = 4/12 inches) and subract that amount from the measured height, to get stud height. This confused me, because if the stud fits between 2 plates why are we subtracting 3.
So in my mind its like this, if i have a wall i measured 100 inches, i am making a frame to fit that,frame height is 100 inches also, now i subtract 4.5 inches from 100 = 95.5.. wouldnt that make the studs too short? . If the stud is to fit between top and bottm plate, shouldnt i be subtracting 1.5(top) +1.5(bottom plate) =3inch for a stud tight fit? .... i dont know if anyobdy follows what im trying to say. thinking i missed something,but keep replaying and still dont see it
@@Lawless187indika double top plate is another 1.5
@@CB-sj7cf thanks for that because I was trying to figure out where the hell the 3rd plate came from when he only showed 2 plates.
Once I finally saw the layout I noticed why you placed the line 3/4" left, because a 2x4 is actually 1.5" wide and half of 1.5" is 3/4"... dang, it really is true some of us are visual learners.
I wanted to thank you for this video. I built an interior wall in my house with a door and learned how to do it from watching this. Good stuff sir.
11 years later, and still helping us newbie’s! Most excellent sir!!

Hey Robert! Will not have a video on that but I would "stick frame" it in place. So attach the bottom plate to the floor and top plate to the ceiling. Measure and cut each stud to fit and nail them each in place as you go.
Real nice! Never knew about the crown direction. I have been doing framing as an amateur for years. A few sheds here and there. Big and small. Even an addition to my house. Never too old to learn. Thanks. Great video.
I like to mark the edges as well so that when the plates are laying on the floor I can easily see everything while I'm framing it up.
When you are doing the wall lay out, just a tip. You can always nail those 2 2x4’s together flush. Then go 15 1/4 and put a duplex or regular sinker, then attach the tape to that nail. Then go every 16 inches from there.
Thank you so much Shannon . This is clear and concise . I’m self building a shed , total novice and your tutorial videos are priceless . 💯👏🤗

When nailing the double top plate you do not need to nail it right at the studs, just off to the side a couple of inches or so.Your nails will not really penetrate the studs anyways because the thickness of the two plates is 3 "b and your nails would not usually be longer than 3-1/2". I would usually use a nail gun but you can hammer them in.
There is many similar videos out there on same subject but this one is the best. Thank you for your time Sir.
Shannon you and your camera person make excellent , informative step by step videos, I have learnt a lot from you over the years, keep up the good work , from texas
Very good description. Now I need to find a place for a wall.
Love your videos. Makes me want to built shit. You explain everything in simple terms, speak slow and show how it's done.
I appreciate you taking your time to help others out.
That would work. What we call 2x4 or 2x6 are actually 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" and 1-1/2" x 5-1/2" .... It's a long story so I will not bore you with it, just thought you should know. So really 38mm x 89mm and 38mm x 140mm.
30 seconds in and i can already enjoy his beautiful canadian accent :)

Classlessrook32 this video is about constructing a wall. smh!!!

Sounds like northern Ireland as well .
@houseimprovements Shannon, Great vid sir! Would it be possible for you to create a video on how to frame a basement wall that have pvc pipes sticking out? I have 6 window wells that have drains (PVC pipes) coming inside my basement and into my sump pump all around my basement. I can't find anything on youtube showing how it is done. Thank you!
Actually it's a third corner stud wall frameing for a hall way wall..so it..begins with a 2by4 applied on the 2side instead of 4 to trap the joints.. majority of the house wall frameing for ceiling people's use a hall way wall frameing method.. lol..when u.. sapost to have one stud plate with crown from the plaite. Get it.. lik I said hall way homes are in style..
This was very helpful, and very well presented. Thank you.
thank you it helps I'm helping to build a church and I have no idea what I'm doing and there's only one of the guy that knows what he's doing but I'm trying to figure all this stuff out when he says 16 on Center and drywalling I'm getting the hang of it
@houseimprovements Shannon. Thanks for your help. I feel well educated and ready for this step except for the following questions. @13:40, you showed us the 3" deck screws and how it goes through the 2x4 into the stud. Are you using the same size screw to attach the double top plate? If you secure the double top plate with 2 screws at the stud, will it hit the 1st fasteners?
Can I get a reply from someone/anyone?
You don't need to be directly on the stud when attaching the double top plate as the studs are already connected to the top plate. Just roughly adjacent to each stud is fine
I think the idea to screw above the stud is because if you put them in between the studs, then the electrician when make a hole through the two top plates may hit the nails with the drill bit.
@@DESIGNPEPOThose poor electricians will hit rogue nails every time with their auger bits. Lots of swearing and probably three more holes in your top plate till they find pure wood.
@@DESIGNPEPO yes exactly
Click on the word "Houseimprovements" right under this video and it will take you to my channel and from there you can find my video on "Attaching wood to concrete."
I was always curious, how do you anchor the wall to the floor?
+GoonSquadSL In this case we did not because this wall was only temporary for this video demo. You can see my video on attaching wood to concrete for info on how to do that. th-cam.com/video/evo3IWwEt-g/w-d-xo.html
+HouseImprovements Thanks I'll head over and look at it. I've always been curious on that topic.
You mentioned using a 3 inch screw but what size #? I'm using #8 but it doesn't seem to suck the joints together at all? Does it matter if there's some play?
#8 deck screws.
Reverse the screw out until it is free from the second piece of wood and then drive it in again. Remember I also advised that these deck screws are not designed for structural framing.
Appreciate your time and effort for this video and I learned a few things. Thanks...
Not really wrong I guess ,but I have never seen that. I wonder what the reason is for a double bottom plate?
Your accent 💜💜 But in all seriousness he knows his framing well! Go Shannon!
One shouldn't use screws to make walls. Screws resist pulling force, so they're good for deck boards which you don't want to pull up. but what walls need are sideway shear force, which means nails, which have a heavier head. I too used to make this mistake, until I spoke with an engineer. Never used screws on a roof deck. Some people think it makes roofs stronger, when actually it makes them weaker ot wind shear forces.
As stated more then once in the video screws should not be used for framing and where used only for the demonstration of the video to assemble this wall which was disassembled after wards.
CANADA KNOWS HOW TO FRAME
He's using standard measurements tho.
+Heitor Chavantes EH
lol?
Great Video. Thanks for posting. Keep ur stick on the ice eh!
Could they frame Trump? Please? PENCE 2017.
I'm planning to move a closet wall to change the dimensions of the closet. The walls double top plate is laped to the interior and exterior walls. If I were to build a wall, could I just stick frame it in place or do I have to somehow lap the double top plate in place first before installing the top plate and studs? Thanks for any advice you can give!
You will be ok without the lap for this.
Thanks ,very helpful, especially that extra 2x4 for dry wall! Thanks again.
Shannon - you have created a GREAT series on framing. I am using your videos to build a large shed style chicken coop (or as we call it here a chicken palace) and if I'm going to do it it will be done right. I really appreciate all of the time and effort you've put into these videos. Very clear presentation with lots of detail for beginners. I feel like I'm sitting in a classroom but cutting out all of the useless stuff. Thank you!!! - Chris in N. Arkansas
dude you have a lot of patience answering all these questions,,, i would get annoyed.. thanks for the vid
Your instructional methods are the best I've seen on TH-cam. I am learning not only the how-to's, but the don't-do's and the shortcuts that I've never found in books on basic framing. You rock, Sir. Keep'em coming!
you did a better job explaining than my professor. i really appreciate this video. i just subscribed
glad to help
Actually I state in the video that I am only using screws in this video because I will be taking these walls apart because I am only building this wall for the demonstration
No not necessary in that case.
Does the upper top plate have to be screwed all the way through the lower member and into a stud, or just into the lower member? From the building code I think it just has to be screwed into the lower member of the top plate. Is that correct? Great vid, by the way. Thanks a lot!
yes just into the plate under it.
Thank you for putting the effort in to explain to us weekend warriors.
Wow that is a lot of nog! In Canada that is only required after your wall is more than 10' (3048mm) tall then you need it a minimum of every 8' (2438mm)
FYI inch = 25.4 mm, 1 foot= 304.8mm
Thanks so much. This video gave me exactly what I needed. Very helpful indeed.
brilliant, straightforward, clear and helpful. thank you. speed square and hammer drill great suggestions.
I usually build a corner with two studs and three sixteen inch block one on the bottom one in the middle and one at the top.
Yep
Hoyt Davis ,one can do either .Full board is better in MYO
🔫🔫🆗👙🚿
great video, even this many years later, very helpful
Sir I appreciate that you take the time to make this very helpful videos. I followed your instructions and I did my first wall frame ever. I have no experience in construction but I'm looking forward to the challenge of finishing the whole project ,, an 8 by 10 loundry room. Also it is a project that I'm taking advantage to work on it with my boys ,,, bonding and learning with them,,,,, tnxs again
Excellent!
First of all I do not recommend steel studs for basement walls. The moisture in most basement environments leads to rust and deterioration and some times failure in less that 20 yrs. Use a pressure treated bottom wood plate and spruce top plate and studs is better in my mind. Also Build the wall independent from the concrete wall and leave about a 1/2' - 1" space between the concrete wall and framing, and don't forget the moisture barrier. If you go to my youtube channel you can find more videos
Hey I enjoy your videos on wall construction. I am building a 8 by 8 wall, it will have a door, a window in a AC window unit in the wall. I am using 2 by 10 lumber. I am about 3/4 inch out of square. I am in the early stages of the build so I am going to make sure it is square before I install the door. My question is if the wall is this much out of square (3/4) would that cause me a lot of problems down the road trying to square up the door and widow down the road?
Thanks.
Depends what "out of square" means to you? If you mean the diagonal is 3/4" difference then you will likely be fine. If the bottom plate is 3/4" out of square to the end of the wall you may have trouble if your rough openings are not an inch wider then the frames. I may be able to help more on the forum if you need it?www.house-improvements.com/forums/
Thank you for the reply! It will be my bottom plate that is out of square. I will fix it before I place the wall into a covex container. Really enjoy your videos keep up the good work!!
In most cases I would not use a sole plate.If I were you could just nail them together if you really wanted to have one
Just frame the walls with single top plate and attach the top plate to the ceiling with long nails fastening to the ceiling joists above
Check out my full You tube channel, there you will find many more videos that will be of help like "how to attach wood to concrete" . If you have more questions please go to my forum in my website to ask them.
You are completely right, and here in Canada we are a metric country. In my trade both Metric and Imperial are used but most people still talk imperial more than metric in construction. When I trained, we were taught both in school. I like metric for cabinetry because of the more precise measurements.
If I want my finished wall to be 8'1 high when it is constructed, what length do I have to cut my studs at?
if you are using three plates like in this video .... 97" - 4.5"= 92.5"
good video--i'd also recommend treated wood for the bottom plate and even sill foam under that wherever wood contacts concrete
Hey, another question if you don’t mind, can a 16 in oc wall hold a 24 in oc spacing rafter structure?
And also the other way around can I put a 16 in oc rafter spacing on a 24 in oc advanced framed wall ? Thanks so much,
Great stuff you’re doing ! Thanks
Pete
If you go to my forum on my website I can help you better from there. There is a link to the website just below the video you watched.
I'm sorry but I am not following what you are saying?
Not really ,but you will want the wood to still be flush to the face of the steel stud surface.
I like your accent. I have spoken twice in Canada at technical conferences for elevator inspectors. You are a kind people, generally. Thank you so much for your video. Very detailed.
The volume on the video is really good, are you sure your volume on the video tool bar is turned up? When you hover over the speaker symbol the volume adjustment should come up briefly.
Depending where you are, code may call for that, my code calls for that only if you are building a load bearing wall that will not have any sheathing,drywall or angled strap. It may also be required for fire blocking if you were balloon framing more than one story.
Always learn much from this guy. Doesn’t just say what he’s doing but why and or why not. And all miscellaneous tips as well for first timer novice DIY selfers. Definitely a good teach. Thanx for the vids and did subscribe 👍🏾
This is an extremely beginner tutorial, so why is it that so many houses aren't even built as correctly and as carefully as this example framing was. The moral is either pay through the nose for a very good contractor who doesn't cut corners or build it yourself!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, now I know how to frame small non-bearing walls the right way.
Good video. I have a question. How do I lift a newly framed wall inside of and existing room. I have a 16x23 room and I want to go to a corner and frame in a bath room. I can frame the walls door etc. but if I frame it to the existing room height can I lift it into place without messing up the existing ceiling? Or should I leave the top plate off and raise the wall, then hope i can put the top plate in place???
Honestly I prefer to "stick frame" in those situations. Install you top and bottom plates in place and cut and install studs in the standing wall. If you want to build it on the floor and stand it up cut studs about 3/8" shorter than needed.
@@HouseImprovements Thank you for taking the time to answer me. I will stick frame it as you sugest.
A lot of planning goes into an ordinary bathroom, but the one your building is far greater. I am guessing you have a basement. I am doing a bathroom on the second floor that was a large bedroom with no bathroom. I thought the prices of lumber were going to fall. COL. Anyway interior walls with finished ceilings is tough. I decided to remove the sheetrock in the new bathroom area. Needed spacers between ceiling joist to attach new walls. Also exhaust fan and recessed lighting and wiring and vent piping. I also removed the flooring to double floor joist by tub and 16 foot interior wall. The wall runs parallel to a wall below it but I think it would be stronger if it was perpendicular, to floor joist. I had done work like this for a living, many years back and only used douglas fir wood. Almost impossible to build a straight wall using anything else but steel. I am turning 71, and started saying this was my last project five years ago. Good luck.
I really wanted to mention that a bathroom "wet wall" (has the largest, and most fixtures in a row) is generally framed in 2 X 6 lumber. There is a formula, for what is called "fixture vent sizing tables". Most bathrooms need a 3 or 4 inch vent going thru roof. 3 inch is the inside measurement and 3.5 od . Hole saw would cut your floor and ceiling plate in-half. Even 2 X 6 lumber requires metal pipe protectors, preventing accidental nail penetration's. Very easy to hit vent pipes, hanging pictures with screw gun. The entire pipe is difficult to protect buried in the wall.
Always love checking out your vids whether I'm putting up a door or putting up a wall your vids are by far the best to show any DIYer how to get projects done
I have learned from your channel enough to build my teardrop camper, thank you for all the great advise . Do check out my progress on my channel-you helped a lot Thank you
if the wall is going from floor to ceiling, how do you attach the over hang top plates at the corner? the ceiling prevents you from drilling down like you did in the video.
Dude, I've been looking all over and finally found 100% of what I was looking for in framing. Every other video assumed I already knew the steps for corners, top plates, etc. I didn't, but I do now. Thanks!
Either way one side is messed up. but I usually do what I can to make the exterior sheathing work.
As others have said, THANK YOU for not muddling up your video with annoying background music! I love your instructional videos and have turned to them many times!
Thanks for actually telling us WHY things are done the way they are, eg why nails not screws etc. Nice video!
Listen bro i appreciate you making these videos and stuff but why did my teacher tell us to watch it
Best instructional video on framing for beginners.
you are another of my canadian heroes. Another is donyboy73. you guys are bosses. thanks for sharing. I am from southen cal and I lived in calgary for 2 years and appreciate canadians much more now
Newbie here - Great videos! Can anyone help me understand why you would use nails over screws? and what can you do to hold large pieces like this in place while they're being nailed? Thanks!
Another great video.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm building a wall this week and this video was so helpful. Thank you for posting. Take off eh, ya hoser.. That's all the Canadian I know. :)
Cheers Shannon. Solid video that just helped me build a wall for my wife's new clinic! Feel prepared bud. (Great hat!) Thanks!
Leaving that top plate of and building the wall also about 1/4" shorter than needed will help you out. Assuming that this wall is not needed for support of the joists.
Add some blocks of 2x4 between the joists every 4' or so and then attach wall to these.
This is a terrific video. It anticipates so many questions a beginner like me would have..Thanks. You have given me the knowledge I need to go at a half-height wall I have been wanting to do as a room divider.
awesome vid!. i learned a lot. can you please make a video of making a small room partition with door inside a room but not all the way up to the ceiling just about 8 feet in height. Many thanks.! :-)
Great video. Very informative, well spoken and very clear on all of the information you have provided. Thank you very much friend. Sub'd.
Thanks for filming this video. This is very helping in the finer details of framing a wall and attaching to a corner wall as well. This will help in building a walk in closet for a room in our home. Very appreciative.
Why did he point out right to left, does it matter? He simply needed to say what he was measuring with his tape. Many hand gestures too which were unnecessary. The way they pan the camera was out of place as well.
Do your best to find a fairly flat area to work.
You are correct the main reason is load transfer, just never mentioned it.
Needs some help, im sure i missed something important.
He mentions that, to get the stud height(to be able to cut all studs one time ) you measure the height of the wall then add the thicknes of 3 plates (1 1/2 x 3 = 4/12 inches) and subract that amount from the measured height, to get stud height. This confused me, because if the stud fits between 2 plates why are we subtracting 3.
So in my mind its like this, if i have a wall i measured 100 inches, i am making a frame to fit that,frame height is 100 inches also, now i subtract 4.5 inches from 100 = 95.5.. wouldnt that make the studs too short? . If the stud is to fit between top and bottm plate, shouldnt i be subtracting 1.5(top) +1.5(bottom plate) =3inch for a stud tight fit? .... i dont know if anyobdy follows what im trying to say. thinking i missed something,but keep replaying and still dont see it
Update: Okay after rewatching , i noticed he uses a double top plate(assuming the wall is load bearing>?) anyway, is it safe to assume this is what i overlooked?.. guessing thats why he subtracted 3 thicknesses?
im building a shack/shed out of scraps nothing with be standard code. everything will be 2x8 or 2x10 laying flat or or standing sideways. why not its a 6x 8 room one load wall will be 3- 2' x 10' and the rafters will be 2" x 12" x 10`laying flat how unconventional but why not it covered by 1/2 or 3/4 plywood .
Great vid. As a point of clarification, is my math right if I say that the first stud of the wall (on the end) and the second stud will be less than 16 inches on centre? It seems to be 16 inches from the end of the baseplate to the centre of the second stud.
Yes that is correct. Every wall will have the first space and also the last space less than all the other regular spaces
HouseImprovements Thanks!
I'd pay just to be around this man,
Go to college pay 20,000 learn fucking nothing ...just being around this guy teach you real shit. You could be out doing 10-40k framing jobs for developers. I subscribed commented and liked this video! Keep it up sir
You seemed to indicate that the impact driver has a hammer function in the drill. But isn’t this untrue? Doesn’t it have a hammer motion which applies to the rotation?
