What is the standard length for a metal stud or track?

Studs

Most studs are cut to length that is requested by a supply yard or a customer. Many drywallers order studs cut to the exact length required at the job site to avoid waste and additional cutting. Tracks, however, are stocked standard at 10-feet. Custom lengths are available, but that is less common and may require a longer lead time and possibly a surcharge. It will depend upon the manufacturer and the quantity ordered.

ClarkDietrich structural track is a U-shaped framing component used as top and bottom runners to secure wall studs. Structural track is also used as end support closures for joists at exterior or foundation walls, head and sill plates of wall openings and solid blocking. Track is normally ordered in corresponding size and gauge to the wall studs. Longer leg track is used for deflection conditions or to accommodate uneven or inconsistent floor or ceiling conditions. Slip track for track-over-track assemblies is also available.
