The Ecoply™ SP Bracing Series features a range of plywood
bracing elements using the traditional hold down strap method
of construction.

The Ecoply SP Bracing can still be used in bracing construction
however CHH Woodproducts recommends the EP Bracing Series
in place of the SP Series as they offer superior bracing
performance as well as simplification of bracing design and
construction.
