Calculate the number of studs needed for a wall section based on stud spacing and the wall-length measured in feet and inches.
The most common stud spacing with wall framing is 16", 19.2" and 24" on center.
A straightforward calculation, convert the wall length in feet to wall length in inches, divide this amount by the on-centre stud spacing, and add one more stud.
wall length = 24 feet 10 inches stud framing = 16 inches O.C.
24 * 12 = 288 + 10 = 298
24 feet 10 inches converted to inches = 298 inches.
298 / 16 = 18.625 rounded to 19 plus one = 20
It will take 20 studs to frame this will with 16 inches on centers, stud placement.
