back-to-back CFS studs
back-to-back CFS studs
(OP)
I have a structural CFS project with the requirement for all studs to be 33-mil. Most areas this is not a problem but I have one location where the spacing would need to be 7" oc. I will be using 6" net spacing for this wall. I was planning to call for back-to-back studs at 12" to make the section symmetric. The contractor wants to use single studs at 6". Are there any advantages one way or the other?

It might make more sense at 6'' to make the stud to channel connections - in other words there will be more chance of more fasteners??
Might be easier to run electrical, pipe, ducts, etc?? Though I don't see it..
