  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.

  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

Picking the right product

Loadbearing walls

If the wall carries load it needs graded timber to a design. Plain CLS is not automatically structural.

Stud spacing

Studs are usually set at 400 mm or 600 mm centres to suit 1200 mm wide plasterboard.

Estimating your CLS timber

A 2.4 m partition 2.4 m high at 400 mm centres takes 7 CLS studs, 4.8 m of head and sole plate and a row of noggins, then boarding on both sides. Work out the boards too

How many studs do I need?
