- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Getting the right CLS timber
Loadbearing walls
If the wall carries load it needs graded timber to a design. Plain CLS is not automatically structural.
Which size?
38 × 63 mm suits most partitions up to standard ceiling heights. 38 × 89 mm gives stiffer, taller walls and more room for insulation.
How much will you need?
A 5.4 m partition 2.4 m high at 400 mm centres takes 15 CLS studs, 10.8 m of head and sole plate and a row of noggins, then boarding on both sides. Work out the boards too
Your questions answered
Can you deliver CLS timber to a site with restricted access in Chelmsford?
Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.
How many studs do I need?
Divide the wall length by the stud spacing (400 or 600 mm), add one, then add plates and noggins. Our plasterboard calculator gives the boards for the same wall.
Do you deliver CLS timber to trades and homeowners in Chelmsford?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
Can CLS be used for loadbearing walls?
Only if it is strength graded and the wall is designed for the load. Ask for graded CLS if your design calls for it.
