Building a curved wall for my house. Carpentry 101 #passivehouse #TallowView #sustainableliving #offgridhouse #offgridliving #homestead #PiqueConstruction #carpentry
Awesome, did you frame it first then stand it up or just knock it up in position? Would have been cool to see that as I’m wondering if there’s a rule to follow on curved walls with 450 centres on studs but you’d want a clean curve? This is the part where my mind breaks!😂
Hey @kymporter5810, It was framed on the ground and then stood. I went a little closer on the stud spacing as it makes it easier to bend the gyprock and wall panelling as there is more support on the curve and this helps achieve a clean, uniform bend and helps to reduce the chance of breaking the sheets when installing.
G'day Alex, Thanks for the compliment! The ply is 18mm thick and I used a double thick layer glued and screwed on the bottom and a triple layer on top as it will carries floor joists.

Did you install nogs in between the studs?
Hey Joe, Yes nogs went in the next day.
