Abstract

The present invention comprises a portable wall structure including 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 20 gauge thickness. A vertical steel stud is positioned at each end of the wall structure to provide closed ends of the wall structure. This wall structure forms a separate unit of substantially rectangular configuration which may be prefabricated and separately transported to a building construction site. Some parts, such as top plates, corners, door surrounds, and window surrounds, made of wood, are included in some embodiments of the invention.
