Last Tuesday, Andrew, Jonathan, and I tested which flat break out for the wall with the door would be better. Either splitting the flats in 3 like this (2 flats split vertically and 1 horizontally) or into 2 flats split vertically. We used the stock flats in the shop, and the stock jacks. I uploaded a video on the bottom of our result when we banged on the flat to test its stability when a door slams. If anyone has issues viewing the video, please comment and I will upload it to youtube and post the link to it. I hope this is helpful to anyone trying to decide how they want to split up their flats.
Was this video taken with or without hog’s troughs on the back?
Yes, this was without the hog’s troughs. We were not sure where and how to install the brace for this configuration.
