Extension of existing wall
(OP)
I have existing wall 2x6 x 7.5’. The stud is at 16” o.c. Can I add about 1.5’ on top of this wall? Since the wall studs are not continuing. I plan to use ½” plywood on both sides. Do you think this is Ok for the wall to take about 20 psf wind load?

I would think it would be cheaper to place full height studs between the existing ones than plywood both sides. For that matter it would not be that expensive to replace the stud wall.
