Screws Instead of Hurricane Ties?

Over the last 20+ years, I've watched as the amount of hardware required in framing has increased dramatically.  Many people think that the hardware companies lobby for the requirements, but actually code cycles inform the hardware design.  

The fact is that it is expensive to rebuild or repair, so our goal initially should be to prevent avoidable loss and increase the resiliency of our structures.  

In this video I demonstrate just a few ways that the Simpson Strong-Tie SDWC fully threaded screws can replace hardware, increase production, safety and meet the design loads we build to today.  For more info, go to www.strongtie.com Besides the screws themselves, the Quik Stik is an inexpensive tool that really speeds up production and increases safety.  You can read my review below.

Thanks for watching.

Please remember, I’m not showing the best way of doing something, just what works well for us.
