Getting the right CLS timber

Stud spacing

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

Loadbearing walls

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

How delivery works in Portsmouth

CLS travels in bundles alongside plasterboard and is easy to hand off at the kerb. Portsmouth is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
