PROVIDES A QUICK AND EFFICIENT METHOD TO PREVENT JOIST ROTATION
TradeReady® structural blocking is the third component of the TradeReady® steel floor system. Structural blocking is pre-cut to fit securely between the underside of the floor joists to prevent joist rotation. Structural blocking is an economical alternative to cross bracing, X-bracing or strapping. A continuous row of blocking should be installed every 8' O.C. maximum and staggered for easy attachment. Pre-punched holes for quick attachment.
- Economical alternative to strapping, x-bracing or tension bracing.

Caution: In order to prevent joist rolling, the TradyReady® Structural blocking must be tied into the structure or otherwise braced against lateral movement.
