Totally That's also a good reminder that practices change over time

Not even worth it Go back and read what you wrote, it's right there I hope those scouts in your avatar don't listen to you because you're the last person that needs to be teaching our youth right now

The engineers don't specify vertical or horizontal. Because it doesn't matter for most practical purposes. They also don't really care what the cost of materials are or how long it takes me to frame it (at least for the projects I frame). They just do the calcs and specify a bunch of stuff...

To build the structures in the pictures I posted took more than just pulling a trigger on a nail gun After framing for over 20 years and looking at plans from an untold number of engineers I can unequivocally say that running sheets horizontally is not stronger than running them vertically. No...

That's why I recommended putting the horizontal course on first. It gives an edge to rest the upper sheets on I understand about making accommodations for working by yourself. I did everything in the pictures above by myself (with a boom truck) Your good, it's just that if someone else reads...

You and the other guys are giving the impression that running the sheets horizontally is stronger, which is flat out not true You're the least guilty in those statements, which is why I threw in 'misleading'. Thank you for not claiming that it's somehow stronger or better

All of this is false or misleading information and needs to stop I get tired of this issue coming up on a regular basis and these ideas being kicked around like it's still up for debate There needs to be a tacked thread on how to install wall sheeting. I've explained it numerous times

12' sheets aren't common, they would be ridiculously expensive if you could find them Horizontal or vertical orientation does not matter for strength as long as all the panel edges are nailed. Running the sheets vertically means less block lines (less things for the electrician to drill...

Are we talking new or used? I stick a wick into the used ones to light the shop

If you’re just replacing it because of the crushed fins those can be straightened...

Right angle drill would be a good idea. You’ll snap your wrists with a regular drill, even with a side handle Or you could get a carbide blade for a jig saw...
