  • Patent number: 6047503
    Abstract: A basic wall framing unit typically consisting of a rectangle formed of two vertical and two horizontal two inch by four inch lumber with the verticals being spaced apart by two feet on centers. A plurality of wall framing units can be combined at the building site to provide a wall of any desired length. It is also possible to provide complete, larger and more complex wall framing units with provisions for windows and doors which are preassembled at a fabrication facility and then transported to the building site. A wall that is the complete side of a home can be provided and set in place at one time, greatly reducing the time necessary to fabricate the home. All of the framing units are generally secured together with truss plates to provide a means of rapid construction and to reduce or entirely eliminate the need for the carpenter to install hurricane strapping at the site.
