Abstract: A wall frame for building. The wall frame includes a generally horizontally extending plate which is engaged by a stud. Relative movement between the plate and stud are inhibited by the use of clips or brackets and deformations formed in the plate. In one embodiment, the plate is provided with eyelets which project through the stud, with the eyelets being engaged by a clip. In another embodiment, a bracket surrounds the stud and engages the plate side walls to secure the stud in position.
