I usually order 1 per lineal foot. Even if you are framing on 16" centers, by the time you build corners and cripples you will burn through them. Keep track of your plate heights...

It all depends on the wall construction. Timber frames can have conventionally framed 2x walls or SIP (structural insulated panel) walls.

To see a typical timber frame SIP wall configuration, see the link below.

How do you figure out how much building property coverage you need on a condo insurance policy?

Somewhere in your Association agreement or unit owners agreement there should be a section that states how much of your condo you are responsible for covering. They usually have language like "studs in" or "walls in" meaning everything from the studs or walls and in is your responsibility. Floor covering, cabinets and fixtures are things you would normally have to cover yourself. Most condo policies include a small amount of building coverage and then you can add to that for an additional premium.

How many 2x4 studs required for a 32ft by 28 ft shed?

That's a huge shed! Anyway, without taking into consideration that there will be windows and doors this is how you calculate: Length 32ft (each wall) x2= 64 Width 28ft (each wall ) x2=56 Total: 120' Assuming the walls will be 8' tall. The amount of studs needed for your shed on 16" O.C. is 120x12/16=90 studs of 96" precuts. Add a couple studs on each corner. Your total would be about 100 precuts for the walls. You also need to account for the bottom sill and the double top sill wich would be 120'x2 for the top= 240' and 120' for the bottom. That's 360'. You can use 16' lumber for those so 360/16=about 23 16' studs. That should take care of the walls. The roof is another story...
