Frame Wall Construction:

The attached tables show that conventional framing, #2 spruce, pine, fir, 2×4 16 o.c. fully sheathed with minimum structural panel, is sufficient for partially enclosed/internal pressure worst case design up to 125 mph for 10′ wall heights and 140+ mph for 8′ wall heights. (AFoPA National Wood Design Manual, High Wind Edition, draft revised tables for compliance with ASCE 7-98) [See example attached.]

Masonry Wall Construction:

Guide to Concrete Masonry Residential Construction in High Wind Areas for construction of one and two family residential buildings for basic wind speeds of 130 mph or less and exposure B.

Roof Construction:

the Southern Building Code Congress International show that common frame roofing with #2 SPF, 2×6, 24″ o.c. framing with 7/16″ minimum structural panel sheathing is sufficient to withstand the additional forces of partially enclosed/internal pressure worst case design.

Connectors: Additional roof anchorage will be needed for basic wind speeds 110 mph and above.

Example: Partially Enclosed, 2 x 4 @ 16 o/c Spruce – Pine – Fir #2
