Abstract: A drywall butt joint system for efficiently recessing a butt joint between two sheets of drywall. The drywall butt joint system is comprised of an elongate structure having a middle section, a first angled section and a second angled section extending from opposing edges of the middle section, and a first section and a second section extending from the opposing angled sections substantially parallel to the middle section. A first support and a second support are preferably attached to the outer edges of the first section and second section respectively in a manner traverse to the middle section thereby increasing the overall strength of the drywall butt joint system. The elongate structure is preferably roll formed from a sheet of metal for increased strength and decreased manufacturing cost.
