The stud includes a longitudinally-extending central column portion having a pair of opposite end portions, a pair of side walls formed on opposite sides of the central column portion, a first retainer, at least one elongated alignment slot formed in the stud for receiving the first retainer formed on one of the channel members, and an indented portion formed in at least one of the side walls for receiving a spacer bar. The alignment slot is formed in at least one of the end portions of the central column portion. The extender includes an upper portion having side walls that are substantially parallel to the side walls of the stud, and a lower portion having side walls that join the upper portion side walls at a top end and which taper to smaller dimensions at a bottom end, such that the bottom end fits within the stud.</p> |
