Out of Plumb Stud Wall
Out of Plumb Stud Wall
(OP)
We have a 10 foot high stud wall for a single story residences that is now 1/4" to 3/8" out of plumb. Structurally speaking this is not a problem however we would like to see if there is an industry standard for tolerances or limitations that we can reference.
Thank you.
Thank you.

FYI. One of the replies on the "Wood Design and Engineering" forum also mentioned 10mm to 14mm tolerance per British Standard BS5605-1990.

Structurally use "the Abatement of Dangerous and Hazardous Buildings" by ICBO guide and it translates to say that a wood stud bearing wall can be out of plumb by 1/3 of it's dimension
