**Wall Studs**

Wall studs are vertical framing members used in construction to form the skeleton of a wall. Typically made from wood or metal, they provide structural support for walls, allowing for the attachment of drywall, insulation, and exterior sheathing. Studs are spaced evenly, usually 16 or 24 inches apart, to ensure stability and durability. Understanding the role and placement of wall studs is essential for tasks such as hanging heavy objects, installing fixtures, or making modifications to walls.
