King And Jack Studs: Essential Components Of Load-Bearing Walls

King and jack studs are specialized framing members used in load-bearing walls and corners. King studs form the vertical edges of the wall, while jack studs are placed between the king studs. These studs are typically constructed from dimensional lumber, such as 2x4s or 2x6s, and provide structural support to the wall. Proper installation and placement of king and jack studs is crucial for ensuring the stability and integrity of the framed wall.
