This framing technique uses short upright studs positioned between the floor joists and the sloping rafters of an attic or top-floor space. It creates a vertical knee wall that hides the tight, unusable wedge of space near the eaves. Builders use this method to provide a plumb surface for drywall or plaster in rooms tucked under a pitched roof.
Heard on the job
We need to frame the ashlaring about four feet off the deck so they have enough headroom to put a bed against that wall.
