Is coastal framing overkill, or just good engineering? 🌊🏗️
Today we’re taking a break at Seabrook, Washington—a beautiful Cape Cod-style community on the coast—to do a deep-dive framing walkthrough. Coastal building is a different beast than what we typically see closer to Seattle. Between high wind zones and seismic design categories, the hardware and shear wall requirements are on another level.
In this video, we cover:
The Load Path: Tracing forces from the roof down to the foundation.
Shear Walls & Hold Downs: Why narrow panels require massive Simpson Strong-Tie hardware.
Nailing Patterns: Why galvanized nails and 2-inch spacing are non-negotiable in a salt environment.
Pro-Tips: Why you should leave specific studs out during layout to save your knuckles (and your tools).
