New! With the new Simpson Strong‑Tie Strong Frame® two-story ordinary moment frame, Designers can reach new heights – and widths – in creativity. Accommodating openings up to 18' tall per story and 24' wide, the new two-story ordinary moment frame is the ideal solution for projects featuring tall ceilings, expansive windows and other customized designs with space constraints or load requirements that exceed other lateral-force-resisting options for traditional light-frame construction.

Unlike field-built ordinary moment frames – which are time-intensive to design and labor-intensive to install – the new Strong Frame two-story moment frame is manufactured with the same value-engineering as our single-story Strong Frame moment frame, making it a cost-effective alternative to traditional frames. And our quick turnaround time in delivering your customized frame means no interruptions in the project construction schedule.

Now available: Strong Frame™ Selector Software to Specify 2-Story Frames. Download the software free.

As an alternative to downloading the Strong Frame Selector software, Designers can key project-specific
information into the Strong Frame® Two-Story Frame Worksheet (PDF) and either email it or fax it to our design engineers who will identify the two-story frame(s) appropriate for your project.
