1. A wall frame comprising top and bottom plates and studs extending therebetween, wherein the studs comprise respective lengths of metal section opposed ends of which are 5 connected to the top and bottom plates via respective timber pieces.
2. A wall frame according to claim 1, wherein the top and bottom plates are secured to the pieces by respective fasteners received downwardly and upwardly, respectively, therethrough.
3. A wall frame according to either one of the preceding claims, wherein the lengths of metal section comprise respective wall portions fixed against side and edge faces of said pieces. 15
4. A wall frame according to claim 3, wherein the wall portions comprise ones which are fixed against opposite faces of said pieces.
5. A wall frame according to claim 4, wherein said opposite faces comprise side faces. 20
6. A wall frame according to any one of claims 3 to 5, wherein the lengths of metal section comprise webs and flanges defining respective ones of said wall portions.
7. A wall frame according to claim 6 as appended to claim 5, wherein the flanges define the wall portions fixed against said side faces.
8. A wall frame according to any one of claims 3 to 7, including fasteners which project into said pieces to fix ones of said wall portions against respective ones of said faces of said pieces. 30
9. A wall frame according to claim 8, including nail plates comprising plate sections received against respective ones of said wall portions and teeth projecting from the plate sections, through openings formed in the respective wall portions, and into said pieces, thereby defining ones of said fasteners.
