In our on-going barn projects, we are delivering 44 Simpson Strong Walls for the lateral bracing together with the glulam post and beam.
Simpson Strong Walls are LVL panels with defined engineering values and pre-installed hardware. Because of the large seismic load on this structure, the strong walls are back-to-back and stacked. As you can see in the second story detail, the glulam girders are predrilled precisely to accommodate the anchors.
Thanks to Simpson Strong Tie for the technical and commercial assistance folding this product into our building kits and simplifying the delivery and assembly of them
