Show Matt Risinger and carpenter Bill Wood explain the difference between standard headers and TimberStrand Headers, as well as how they achieved an R-10 insulated header with 2x6 walls. Wood explains the common things people use for headers which are dimensional lumber in sizes like 2x10, 2x12, 2x6 and 2x8 with a piece of ½ inch plywood in between. Wood then talks about the TimberStrand and how they're stronger, dimensionally stable and can be used with a smaller member in place of a 2x12. Risinger and Wood than proceed to show the header they have built. Wood talks about some tips to help you get a good build. Wood talks about the sheathing, the materials used, and how they got a sturdy build for consistent use. Wood and Risinger really do a good job at showing how the TimberStrand headers can be a good use for your next build.
