Economical alternative to strapping, x-bracing or tension bracing.

Structural blocking is an economical alternative to cross bracing, X-bracing or strapping. A continuous row of blocking should be installed every 8' O.C. maximum and staggered for easy attachment. Pre-punched holes for quick attachment. Caution: In order to prevent joist rolling, the TradyReady® Structural blocking must be tied into the structure or otherwise braced against lateral movement. Note: Structural blocking is not required if sheathing is applied to the joists top and bottom.
