3 bottom plates Tall

[pdev67]

Good Morning, Tall wall height at site increased to 20'7 1/2". need to add Two more bottom plates, what should be recommended connection details? 6" long sds screws at 6' oc or 1/2" dia anchor bolts at 32" oc

I feel you would want two rows of screws making the three plates into one solid chunk, AND whatever anchorage to the substrate.

Not a wood guy, but that sounds like an odd alternative...

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Do you feel any better?
