1. The height of the garage curb above the garage slab is critical
for rough header opening on portal walls.
2. See Garage Portal page for curb height tables.
3. Raised Floor Strong-Wall Shearwalls require 1 or 3" of
concrete on either side. Allow 1 or 3" of concrete on either
side of the template if the design is for a wood 1st floor or
2nd floor application.
4. For RF Raised Floor walls, use the corresponding Standard
Strong-Wall Shearwall template as required.
5. Templates are recommended and are required in some
jurisdictions.
6. Foundation design by others.
7. Templates are the same for 4" or 6" thick walls.
