7. X-BRACING AND TENSIONERS
To keep the panels square to each other, square to the floor, and to prevent the walls from racking, intermittent panels have been delivered with X braces installed.
The straps form an X brace, 2 for each selected panel. They are attached at the opposite lower and upper corner of the panel with self-tapping screws, two per side. You must tension the strap; Drill a 1/4-inch hole in the approximate center of each strap, and screw on the tensioner with the Wall Brace Tensioner bolt facing out, and the tensioner on the inside of the strap.
