- Narrow Wall Width — 240 mm or 300 mm nominal column sizes allow builders to maintain narrow return walls at garage openings and allow designers to maximize portal openings in standard wall framing, such as for large windows or sliding glass doors
- Easy to Assemble — saves time for the installer and increases the confidence of the specifier that it will be installed properly
- Cost Effective — site-built portal frames are less expensive than steel or moment frames
- Larger Openings — designers need as much bracing capacity as possible to economically design structures
- Available in Single and Double Wall Systems
The Strong-Wall® Site-Built Portal Frame System (PFS) provides designers, builders and contractors an easy way to achieve wall-bracing requirements with narrow wall widths. Simple and quick to install, the PFS is a cost-effective alternative to steel braced-wall solutions.
