Generated explanation

The illustration shows wood wall and floor framing supported on a sill at the top of a concrete foundation wall, with an enlarged detail of the sill anchorage. A 1/2-inch anchor bolt embedded in the foundation passes through the wood sill and is secured with a washer and nut. A sill gasket separates the sill from the concrete, and the embedded bolt has a hooked lower end with a vertical dimension marked 4 to 6 inches. The annotations specify anchor bolts every 6 feet, or 8 feet in Canada, and bolts within 12 inches of corners in the USA.
