I want to build a partial wall that is about 10 feet high and 16 feet long. The ceiling joists are about 17 feet from the floor. One end of the wall will be attached to a cinder block wall and I am wonder if the best way to brace the other end of the wall is to just run 2x4's up to the joists above. Appearance is not critical but was just wondering if this is the best way?
