Backstop-
The frames on mine are 2"x 1" at 24" spacing, and assumes the T+G cladding contributes to structural stiffness. Built as four 'wall' frames, assembled in situ by screwing the frames to each other, with the roof assembled last. Admittedly it's in a sheltered position, but has been fine for the last 20 years - pics on pages 267 & 268.
4x2@16" sounds like the sort of stud wall that will hold another storey above it? Doubtless conforms to building regulations but perhaps excessive for a modest sized shed? -
My shed is 8'x8' (based on available OSB sizing) built with 2'x4's and utilizing a "shed" roof (single slope). It has electrical hook ups and is insulated to suit my local climate. Was very easy to erect and has weathered well for almost 25 years.

Meters? Wrong dimensions for me - Standard wall construction is two by four studs spaced 16 inches on center. (<- Deliberate American spelling)
