Lateral stabilizer for wall

Wall construction comprising:

• a plurality of elongate wall studs assembled in parallel relationship with flat facing side members having linearly aligned parallel openings, each opening having a width dimension and a length dimension greater than the width dimension;
• an elongate linear stabilizing bar passing through the openings of the wall studs, said bar having a cross-sectional profile with a width dimension and a length dimension greater than the width dimension, the width and length dimensions being less that the width and length dimensions of the openings in the wall studs respectively, whereby the stabilizing bar is inserted through the openings in the wall studs;
• the length dimension of the stabilizing bar being greater than the width dimension of the wall stud openings;
• said stabilizing bar having gradually curved portions between extremities of said length and width dimensions and said openings having a profile with a gradually curving portion so that said stabilizing bar is relatively fixed with respect to the wall stud openings by being axially rotated in the wall stud openings to a point of jamming relationship between the stabilizing bar and the wall studs to hold the wall studs relatively rigid with respect to one another.
