TSN's Column/Boot assembly is part of the StiffWall System when combined with Flat Strap. The added value of the pre-installed boots minimizes tolerance issues during erection.

StiffWall Column is a component of TSN's StiffWall System, designed to carry loads concentrically from the point of applied loads to the foundation or other termination point and is designed to fit inside of TSN's StiffWall Boot Kit.

StiffWall Boots provide the optimal cost-effective solution for shear wall connections. They are sized to fit inside standard track and are available for all standard sizes.
