Wood Strong-Wall® Shearwall
The Wood Strong-Wall® shearwall can be installed around window and
door openings, on garage wing walls, interior walls or any other locations where increased lateral resistance is required. Wood Strong-Wall® panels
can reduce the amount of wall space required for shearwalls, allowing for more windows and doors in house designs.
Simpson Strong-Tie® Wood Strong-Wall® shearwalls are code-listed under the 2009 IRC/IBC (ICC-ES
ESR-1267) and conform to the latest ICC-ES
Acceptance Criteria (AC130).
- Prefabricated: The high-strength wall comes with the sheathing and holdowns pre-attached. Additional
installation hardware is included.

the foundation. The walls are then placed over the anchor bolts followed by a simple top and bottom plate attachment.

loads.
