| Hi x3mai.babyyy I assume that you are needing to build a stud frame wall? As biolmed mentioned there are a few materials involved & they will vary depending on the surfaces you are attaching to & whether the wall is free-standing etc. But basically you use what's generally described as framing timber (90 x 45 treated pine) for most of the structure. Depending on the situation your wall will consist of top & bottom plates, studs (uprights) at around 450mm centres with noggins (small pieces of timber fixed off horizontally inside studs) about 1200mm off the floor at alternating heights. This whole lot is nailed together & also glued (Maxbond, Liquid Nails) if you wish. Often a diagonal metal framing brace is also added to prevent shift and add strength. Plasterboard/Gyprock is then attached to the frame with plasterboard nails & the appropriate glue. After its set you have to finish off the plasterboard to get a neat finish etc. All that I've just said is basically the thumbnail sketch, framing & plastering isn't too difficult but if it's a load bearing wall or a wet area it can get complicated. Tool-wise you'll need hammer, a drill is handy, level (long & torpedo), tape measure, power or hand saw, clamps are good, saw horses are handy too and plastering tools (trowel etc) It's probably best to have a chat with your local hardware store & tell them the dimensions of the wall etc & work out your requirements from there. cheers Rex |

| Sorry missed the frame: bullet head nails, punched in and filled plus PVA glue or Maxibond (best). Some projects may best be screwed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| If it is about joining:Maxibond or Liquid Nails applied as per pack. Depending on project, you may need temporary support via clamps if horizontal or tack/nails if verticle. mail direct if you need more. |
