ABSTRACT:
Diagonal bracing of a framed wall panel section is provided by a metal brace of U-shaped channel configuration extending diagonally from a top plate of the wall section across a series of studs to the bottom plate of the wall section. Opposed flanges of the brace are fitted into diagonally aligned saw cuts extending into the depth of the top and bottom plates and studs. In a preferred method of making the wall section, an elongated saw guide track is temporarily fastened diagonally across the faces of the studs and the plates. A double-bladed hand saw is run along the length of the saw guide track to form the diagonal saw cuts in the studs and plates. A double-bladed hand saw is run along the length of the saw guide track to form the diagonal saw cuts in the studs and plates. The saw guide is removed, and the flanges of the channel-shaped brace are then fitted into the saw cuts. The brace is then nailed to the plates and the studs.
