ABSTRACT:
A wall construction and a method of constructing it comprising a plurality of generally upright wall studs in assembled perpendicular relationship to lower and upper generally horizontal support beams. The wall studs can be of the metal variety having a generally C-shaped profile. The support beams are channel shaped and have spaced apart retaining members extending inwardly from side walls into the channel. Opposing pairs of retaining members form pockets or seats having a profile corresponding at least partially to the cross sectional profile of the wall stud to confine an end of the wall stud. At least one of the support beams has side walls having serrated edges. The retaining members are formed by bending selected serrations inward of the channel or toward the opposite side wall to a horizontal orientation. An installation tool according to the invention is usable to bend the serrations and install wall stud with respect to the serrated support beam.
