This video teaches how to build corners and wall-to-wall connections in wood framing, covering house framing and proper nailing for Sheetrock or other finish material. It covers how to frame a corner for a 90 degree wall connection and shares the three most common methods of tying exterior walls together. The traditional solution involves doubling or tripling the studs on the end, but there are advantages to both methods when building a wall longer than the top/bottom plates. To ensure proper tying, the two butted studs must maintain the stud to stud center distance from one end of the wall to the other. The video also discusses three methods of joining walls: vertically overlap by 16″, relying on a double top plate and nailing studs together, and horizontally overlap by 2′. The walls should be built with double top and double bottom plates, and the splice between sections should span as much length as possible.

I have a shed I’m making into a she shed and I wanna put thin paneling or plywood for walls. The shed it’s built with 2×4’s. I have the insulation on and was trying to figure what kind of wall boards I want. Old pallet wood, thin plywood, tongue and groove flooring when I noticed my corners. I have studs to nail one wall to in the corner but not the other wall. I know it’s an easy fix I just can’t see it. I’m a visual person. Do you have a article on how to build corners or how to retrofit them for walls?
I haven’t been framing long in comparison, I graduated from Cut Guy to Headers and corners and these are a few ways to build corners. The first I haven’t seen so that was a good one. We also call them different things in our crew with stud designation. It gets confusing bc some of the homes have crazy intersections. But thank you for posting this bits and insight. I been perusal a lot and gained some good tips from you guys to use in NJ.
nice, interesting to watch. So my question is, let’s you have a long span of straight wall, maybe 16′, but you want to try to raise the wall alone so you build it in two, 8′ sections, what is an acceptable way of connecting those two segments together? would you just butt the two king studs on the ends of the segments and nail them together and add the top plate across the joint, or are there other preferred methods?
For your interior instead of using 3 2×4 just use partition block take a scrap piece of 2×4 about 13in to 14 in and scrap osb about 1 1/2 in shorter than 2×4 scrap then put osb in the middle of both pieces nail together make 3 of them and put between 2 studs and nail on the side and u have 3 places to nail big money saver and if u have 2×6 just add another layer or put the block flush to the side u will be nailing it almost the same as your 2 foot section in article except the block will be up and down not side to side u can also use on exterior to and u drywallers wont complain about haveing nothing to nail and i like your articles alot
