What does the term "on center" mean in construction?
- A Measured from the left edge
- B Measured from the right edge
- C Measured from the center
- D Measured from both edges
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
In construction, the term "on center" means that measurements are taken from the center of one component to the center of the next. For example, studs placed "16 inches on center" are spaced 16 inches from the center of one stud to the next.
