Foundation Hardware

In this episode of The Build Show, Stephanie walks through the essential foundation and framing hardware used to keep a house structurally sound—from basement hold-downs to exterior straps and garage-level fixes. She explains how engineers specify Simpson HDU hold-downs, embedded strap types like LSTHD8 and STHD10, and the importance of proper placement, embedment depth, and framing alignment. Stephanie also highlights what happens when structural plans conflict and how crews adapt by adding hardware later to maintain lateral strength and meet engineering requirements. Watch more of Stephanie's video and follow her on Instagram.
