Wood Strong-Wall®:
Installation of Standard Wall on Concrete Foundations
- Drilling or cutting holes in Wood Strong-Wall is not allowed except as
shown in the Structural Details and the Allowable Hole Chart attached to
each wall.
- For holdowns, per ASTM standards, anchor bolt nuts should be
finger-tight plus 1/3 to 1/2 turn with a hand wrench, with consideration
given to possible future wood shrinkage. Care should be taken to avoid
over-torquing the nut. An impact wrench should not be used.
- Walls may also be used in 2x6 wall framing. Install the sheathing side
at the exterior wall line and add furring to the interior framing side.
