Load Capacity
TonyView references allowable compression loads published by Simpson Strong-Tie for Douglas Fir lumber.
The chart shown here is a recreated reference based on Simpson Strong-Tie data and is provided to support preliminary design conversations. Final design decisions should always rely on official manufacturer documentation and project-specific engineering review.
TonyView Kip Capacity Calculator
Estimate whether a TonyView corner can support your configuration based on stories, room size, construction type, wind zone, and post height. This is a preliminary tool — final sizing must be confirmed by a licensed engineer.*
