wall studs
Behind the drywall
Wall studs are the vertical framing members inside a wall, typically wooden boards or metal channels spaced at regular intervals.
They provide the structural skeleton to which drywall, insulation, and exterior sheathing attach.
Finding the studs matters when you need to hang something heavy: Use a stud finder before mounting that TV.
