Closer Spacing] … icon_wink.gif


Model codes like the IRC require 1/2" anchor bolts at 6' spacing as a minimum, which is hard to match with strap anchors. Therefore the strap anchors typically need to be at a closer spacing.

Here is a link to some typical strap anchors from Simpson (a popular manufacturer of connectors). Note that to be equal to the 1/2" bolts at 6', the heavier straps must be spaced about 5' apart, and the lighter duty straps must be spaced about 3' apart (table on the bottom left).

Robert…good questions, but you need to include photo’s so everyone knows what you’re referring to. different terminology in different areas…not this thread but maybe the fingerjoint thread it would have been helpful.

I have a 1859 sq ft house with only 15 straps. It just depends on who’s paying off who.


No, my house isn't 15 stories of 100 sq ft each.
