Best Answer

Studs are normally on 16 inch centerlines, so, with 16 feet being 192 inches, you would need 12 plus 1 (for the starting stud) plus 2 (for the top and bottom plates) per wall. That is 15 studs per wall. Multiply that by 4 and you get 60 studs for the room. This doing not count framing for doors and windows, nor does it count studs for the floor and ceiling. If you get 16 foot studs, you can use 8 for the caps, leaving you needing 52 studs that are 8 foot long, so you would need 26 16 foot studs to make the 52 8 foot studs. The total required studs, then, is 34 16 foot studs.

How many studs in a wall that is 32' long 16 on center?

there would be 24 studs, but this does not include the bottom plate, top plate(s) or the necessary tie-in at the corners of the wall It's actually 25 studs, you need to add one for the end. This is providing you have no partitions, windows or doors in wall. And as mentioned above if you are going to tie-in to another wall or two you will need extra studs. You will also need 96' of plate material.


How many 2x4s do you need for a 30 foot wall?

Standard studs are spaced 16" apart. 30 feet times 12 inches = 360 inches. 360 inches divided by 16 inches = 22.5. If you are measuring left to right, the right-side stud from the frame becomes the last one. Depending on how you will compensate for the extra 8" at the end, you will need 21 or 22 2x4s.
