There’s a reason drywall comes in 8, 10, 12 ft lengths but is only ever 4 feet wide. And it’s not because you lay them horizontally.

I hang mine on a 45 degree angle. Literally the best way to do it.

It's better to hang it on a herringbone pattern.
Come back later for more good tips.

Your wrong standing up board is better especially if the ceiling height is 12 ft standing up board is better for flatter walls no butt joints tape just flats and a 6in box all you need that’s how the company makes money but layout as to be perfect

Horizontal is allowed in standalone buildings, generally away from city centers. But that’s location based. Vertical with fire tape is required in almost everything around me. Your fire rating is reduced running horizontal.

Youre teaching your apprentice wrong, plasterboard should only be installed vertically

Horizontal your seams aren’t on a stud. Therefore cracks will be there soon

Incorrect. The footage of tape and mud remains the same regardless. Technically you’re saving on butt joints when you stand it up…

Taper here, I prefer vertical staggered sheets. Stand ups always have high shoulders
