Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Let-in bracing is a more permanent and effective method of bracing as it is continuous and notched into the wood instead of being nailed on as with temporary bracing or metal braces. Let-in bracing helps to create a solid structure with better resistance to wind and seismic loads. Cut-in bracing is not a commonly used term in the construction industry. Metal braces can be effective, but let-in bracing is often preferred due to its durability and resistance to corrosion.
