Working with specifiers, builders and contractors has given Simpson Strong-Tie insight into the needs of the various players in the design and construction process. This insight has enabled Simpson to design a composite shearwall that features some of the highest allowable loads in the industry while offering the easiest and fastest installation: The Steel Strong-Wall.

Material: Vertical Panel - 10 gauge

Finish: Vertical Panel - Galvanized; Top and Base Plates - Simpson gray paint

Naming Scheme:

Wall Profiles:
Pre-attached wood studs are 2x4 for walls 7' - 10' tall, and 2x6 for walls 11' - 13' tall.
