Install Header Beams and Top Plates

What happens here

After all the wall panels are erected and temporarily braced, the crew measures and installs large header beams above the garage door openings. These beams are lifted into place and carefully secured. Following this, the top plates (or double top plates) are installed along the top of all the walls, overlapping at corners and connections to tie the entire wall structure together, enhancing rigidity and preparing for roof truss installation. The presenter emphasizes the precision achieved using the pre-fabricated components, noting that the walls are checked for squareness and straightness using string lines.

Goal: Complete the top structure of the wall framing and ensure squareness.
