Does anyone know about the use of go bolts tie rods to anchor the foundation to the roof framing? Are these (or similar) required only in high wind or hurricane areas? Are they always visible in attics and foundations? Supposedly they have been required since 2004 in Florida.

Hi John,
Looks like a pretty slick system as long as the embedded hardware is placed correctly. Thanks for the link. Kenton Shepard, InterNACHI member # 04082383 Certified Master Inspector (CMI) EXPERT WITNESS Director of Green Building Director for International Development (303) 717-8940 (303) 258-8289 |
