How To Build A Wall: The Guide

The first step to building any wall is to lay out the lumber that makes up the frame. This is especially good to do on the floor, since you will have freedom to move it around as you hammer the pieces together with nails.

The next step you will have to take when making your own wall is to mark on the ground up to the wall it will be attached to where the wall will be. This can be done many ways, with chalk or any other marking utensil, and helps you know exactly where to attach the wall in a way that will make it easily connectable to any other wall you might be adding to it.

When making a room, it is important to measure out exactly how far each wall needs to be away from each other, or else you could end up with an uneven room or extra wall on a side.

Lastly, you need to attach the wall to the floor and connecting wall securely, once you are a hundred percent sure it is supposed to go there. Once this is done, congrats! You have the wall frame completed and are ready to fill it up with the wall coating of your choosing!
