FrameFish

Frame walls like you've done it before.

FrameFish frames walls for people who have never framed one. Draw your walls once, and it counts the studs, sizes the headers, and adds up the whole shopping list, lumber, sheathing, drywall, insulation, even the vapor barrier. Plain words, no formulas, no accounts.

Eight jobs. One project.

Enter your walls once (up to five), and every job below works from the same measurements. These are real answers from the app, at its everyday settings:

🪚

WALL LAYOUT

Where does every stud go? A drawing of your wall with every stud in its true place, and the tape marks under it.

CUT studs at 7 ft 7½ in · BUY 11 studs and 3 plate boards for a 12 ft wall
🚪

HEADER BUILDER

What holds up the wall over a window or door? Safe sizes, kings, jacks and cripples counted. Big spans get an honest stop, not a guess.

CUT header at 3 ft 3 in · BUY two 2×6 for a 3 ft window
🛒

LUMBER ORDER

Every wall and every opening, added into one shopping list with waste already in. Print it and hand it to the counter.

Studs, plates and headers, grouped by size and length
📐

SQUARE CHECK

Is it square? Measure corner to corner, plus the old 3-4-5 trick with no math at all.

A 12×16 room must read exactly 20 ft corner to corner
🪵

SHEATHING

How many plywood or OSB sheets? Counted wall by wall, because a sheet cut for one wall does not stretch to the next.

BUY 3 sheets of 4×8 for a 12×8 wall with one window
🧱

DRYWALL

Sheets for one side or both, plus the screws, mud and tape, estimated the way a counter clerk would.

BUY 3 sheets of 4×8 for one side of a 12×8 wall
☁️

INSULATION

Batt pieces counted stud bay by stud bay, in the width your spacing needs, with the R-value your stud depth fits.

BUY 18 batt pieces, 15 in wide, for a 12 ft wall at 16 in spacing
💧

VAPOR BARRIER

Poly rolls with overlaps counted, plus acoustic sealant and seaming tape. Openings are not subtracted, the poly gets trimmed after.

BUY 1 roll of 6 mil poly covers a 12×8 wall with room to spare
🖨️

FrameFish is a calculator and estimator. It is not an engineered design, a permit drawing, or professional building advice. Header sizes are rules of thumb for simple one-storey walls. Your local building code, your inspector, and a licensed engineer win every argument. Always check local code before you build, and get an engineer for anything unusual: long spans, more than one floor, or heavy loads.
