ABSTRACT:
A furring apparatus is provided which comprises two U-shaped members, each having first and second ends and a channel formed on its inner surface. A spring retainer is located on each second end, whereby the second end of one U-shaped member may be inserted into and engaged with the first end of the other U-shaped member. Accordingly, a ring may be formed about the column to which wallboard may be secured. Each U-shaped member comprises two L-shaped members joined together via a spring retainer as discussed previously. An L-shaped member is formed by bending an initially straight member 90.degree. along a bend line. The present invention allows for economically produced furring to be quickly and efficiently mounted on a beam via self-tapping screws, thereby expediting the installation of wallboard.
