BRACED WALL PANELS

Posted by Robert Olin on July 16, 2009, 12:19 am

I read that braced wall panels made onsite with osb have to be:

1) nailed with common nails
2) framed with fir.
3) use structureal 1 osb.

I was lucky to stumble onto this site. Does that mean if some poor dude
uses box or sinkers to nail his panels the inspector would have them rip it
out?

Most treated plate is hemlock?

Where did you find that information? Provide a link. Codes vary, but
the fir framing and box nail prohibition don't show up in the IRC.

Most treated wood around here is SYP.

Here is the one calling for box nails. This is a county close to mine here
in Washington State.

Yes, that approves galvanized box nails. Your earlier post referred
to code having a problem with them. I didn't see anything in there
about the framing species requirement...and it's very unlikely that
it's in any sane code.
