Stronger than site- or factory-built shear walls, moment frames permit larger openings and smaller wall sections in buildings while offering higher load values. In the past, however, moment frames have been time intensive to design and labor intensive to install. Simpson Strong-Tie has simplified both by developing an alternative to traditional moment frames: the Strong Frame. Available in a variety of sizes up to 19 feet high and 16 feet wide, the Strong Frame is ideal for standard first-floor installations, two- and three-car garages in low-rise buildings, and balloon-framing applications for tall, open-style rooms, such as great rooms.
