Get studs, plates, kings, jacks, cripples and headers for one wall on a single list.
How it works
Studs come from spacing, plates are three runs of the wall, and each opening adds kings, jacks and cripples.
Before you order
- Lay plates out together so stud marks match top and bottom.
- Rough openings run larger than the door or window itself, so use the maker’s size.
- Tall or load-bearing walls may have rules that change the count.
Common questions
How many top plates should a wall have?
Most load-bearing walls use a double top plate.
What are king and jack studs?
Kings run full height beside an opening. Jacks sit under the header ends.
