Drywall Stops Save Wood

Most builders have vaguely heard of those little metal drywall stops that can be used for supporting drywall corners, but remarkably few have ever tried them. More builders we’ve spoken with are familiar with drywall

clips, which are fitted onto the edge of the drywall as it is being installed. Many drywall crews resist using the clips, which complicate their work a bit. Drywall stops, however, are installed beforehand just like wood blocking, so the drywall hangers don’t have to change their routine.
