Re: The noggin between the studs 14Oct 01, 2008 7:00 pm Dukekamaya Roof battens.... the things the Colorbond sheets are screwed to. Where I come from, they call them 'purlins'... I would normally use structural pine (70x45) to fix C/B sheets. I pretty sure non-structural timber is used for a tiled roof. Re: The noggin between the studs 15Oct 01, 2008 7:34 pm Luke was just a bit confused , roof battens are structural that's why I thought he must have meant ceiling battens.

Re: The noggin between the studs 16Oct 01, 2008 9:40 pm Thank you for the informative and education replies and sound advise.
How would I go about getting/finding the relevant building code info for this as I am sure that most SS's will try and get out of it by referencing that in a casual manner Cheers, Teddy Bär Re: The noggin between the studs 17Oct 02, 2008 9:03 am ausdesign Luke was just a bit confused , roof battens are structural that's why I thought he must have meant ceiling battens. I agree. My partner said that roof batterns are structural. He hasn't come across non structural timber used in roofs. He said it is required as it is load bearing as it holds up the tiles/roof. Re: The noggin between the studs 18Oct 02, 2008 4:54 pm A little space between the noggin and the wall is not a bad thing as it makes it easier to run things like antenna cables down. Ours also have a small gap and my bro in law (antenna guy) told me that its a very good thing. (otherwise you have to drill holes through the noggins. I assume it also applies to electric cables.

Ours also have a small gap and my bro in law (antenna guy) told me that its a very good thing. (otherwise you have to drill holes through the noggins. I assume it also applies to electric cables. So if the electrical cable is in between the timber and the gyprock, how does someone else know where NOT to drill and fix something to. Antenna cables are ok because they do not carry enough current (volts,watts, amps or whatever) to kill you. Electrical cables are something else altogether. Holes drilled thru the centre of the timber, furthest from the gyrock on both side is the safest place for cables. Drilling through electrical cables is bad for your health.

I'd be drilling holes in the centre of the nogging with a spade bit for the exact reason 'Kevin Brown' has mentioned even if it's just an antenna cable. I would keep the holes drilled through the studs to a minimum so that it doesn't compromise structural integrity.
