Description

Front elevation of the framed garage showing triple door openings, LVL headers, and diagonal bracing across the center bay. A bundled-up child stands in front for scale, emphasizing opening heights and overall width.

  • Diagonal bracing across center bay holding walls plumb
  • Sheathing backer at base of walls protecting bottom plate and insulation area
