A prefabricated structure for use in constructing a building wall including a first elongated joist extending horizontally and secured a ceiling of the structure and a second elongated joist secured to a floor of the structure and extending in horizontally and in parallel spaced apart fashion from the first joist. Each of the first and second joists including a parallel extending and opposing face with a recessed channel formed therein. A plurality of elongate and planar boards, each substantially rectangular in shape, include first, second, third and fourth edges. The edges define in combination a first face and a second opposite face spaced from the first face by a determined thickness. A first selected edge of each planar board securing in extending fashion within the recessed channel of the first joist and a further selected and parallel extending edge securing within the recessed channel of the second joist. A plurality of elongate brackets are provided for securing each of the elongate and planar boards in end-to-end abutting and reinforcing fashion with succeeding elongate and planar boards and for securing a wall board material in a parallel extending and spaced relationship with respect to at least one of said first and second faces of said elongate and planar boards. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to FIG.
1, a prefabricated structure is illustrated at 10 according to a first embodiment for use in constructing a building wall.
The prefabricated structure includes a first elongate joist 12 and a second elongate joist 14, both of which are preferably constructed of wood and which include opposing and parallel extending faces 16 and 18, respectively.
Formed within each of the parallel extending faces 16 and 18 in likewise parallel extending fashion are recesses 20 and 22.
The joists 12 and 14 are also preferably constructed in rectangular cross section, consistent with standard wall stud construction, however other polygonal cross sectional shapes are possible within the scope of this invention.
It is also understood that the joists can either be provided as 2".
times.
4", 2".
times.
6" cross sections or any other dimensions as desired.
An elongate and planar board is shown at 24 and is preferably constructed of a 1/2" OSB or compressed wood chip material.
The planar board 24 is preferably rectangular in dimension and includes first, second, third and fourth edges, as clearly evident from FIG.
1, and which in combination define a first face 26 and a second opposite face 28 spaced from the first face 26 by a determined thickness.
A second planar board is illustrated in partial section at 30 in FIG.
1 and is secured in end-to-end fashion to the first planar board 24 in a manner described with reference to FIGS.
3 and 4.
Also, top and bottom horizontal edges of the planar boards 24 and 30 are secured within the recesses 20 and 22, such as by adhesives, fasteners or the like.
Also, an insulating layer of material 32 may be applied to either one or both of the faces of the planar board, in this case second face 28.
Preferably, the insulating material is provided as a 1 and 1/2" thickness sheet of styrofoam, however other types of insulating material can be employed without departing from the scope of the invention.
