Description

Popular Mechanics Quote: “To resist high winds, whether they're from tornadoes or hurricanes, homes must be built with what is called a 'continuous load path,' a series of reinforced connections that tie every element together from roof to foundation, like a chain. Important connections would include rafters to top plates, top plates to studs, studs to bottom plates and bottom plates to foundation.”
