ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a portable wall structure for use on the top floor of a multiple story building. The wall structure includes a metal cap forming the top of a wall structure, a metal floor track forming the bottom of the wall structure, and a series of channeled load-bearing studs that are secured vertically between the cap member and the floor track member. These vertical studs are composed of steel of about 26 gauge thickness. This wall structure forms a separate unit which may be prefabricated and separately transported to a building construction site for use on the top floor of a multiple story building. Some parts, such as top plates, corners, door surrounds, and window surrounds, made of wood, are included in some embodiments of the invention.
