I haven't used these yet but have used the shear walls which are also very handy in some locations.<BR /> <BR /> <A href="http://www.strongtie.com/products/strongwall/index.asp" target="_blank"></A><S><A href="http://www.strongtie.com/products/strongwall/index.asp" target="_blank"></A><A href="&lt;/s&gt;http://www.strongtie.com/products/strongwall/index.asp&lt;e&gt;"></A></S>http://www.strongtie.com/products/strongwall/index.asp<E></E><BR /> <BR /> The only downside other than cost to these solutions for residential is that it is a little difficult to get enough insulation into the wall where these things are located. At least up here in the great white north where we need R-20 in the walls.
