Overview of the Stavehouse Post & Panel Raising
 A Stavebolt threaded onto a 3/4" foundation anchor bolt, projects above the pre-drilled sill timbers. |
 A Stavebolt connector, partly inserted in the bottom of a wall post. The stitch bolts which lock the device in place enter through the holes at the sides of the glulam timber, which will be hidden in the wall. |
 Typical 8"x10" wall post fitted over Stavebolts & ready to receive 4.5" by 4' x 8' ft SIP in-fill panels. The splines have not yet been attached. |
 The 4.5" (+R-20) in-fill SIP is slipped over the 2"x4" splines on the sides of the wall staves, for later screw-fastening. |
 In-fill continues until wall section is complete. Cuts for doors & windows may be made before or after panel installation. |
 Once a wall is in-filled & plate timber positioned, the SIP's may be screwed to the splines to complete the Stavehouse shear-wall. |
 The completed wall sections brace the structure. Interior walls may be added to divide the spaces & to add further lateral strength. |
 Long wall plates may be extended to provide outboard trussing or posted & covered entry areas for porches & parking, etc. |
 Note the 3/4" anchor rods projecting through the plate timbers from Stavebolts in tops of posts, to attach the trusses & gables. |
