DEFLECTION POST

This new product called the D-Flexion Post solves a long-standing problem in a simple, direct way. The problem has been in figuring out how to allow for vertical deflection in a curved wall. 

D-Flexion Post is made to work hand in hand with Flex-C Trac, the innovative product that has saved so many framers the headaches that come with framing curved walls. 

To build a vertically deflecting curved wall with D-Flexion Post:

First, Form and secure Flex-C Trac in the desired curve.  Second, Insert the D-Flexion Post into a pivot hole of Flex-C Trac. Use as many Posts as needed for the desired lateral strength of the wall.  Third, After confirming your layout, anchor D-Flexion Post to the top deck using the pre-punched holes in the base plate.  Last, install the wall studs. 

D-Flexion Post is made of galvanized steel and will allow 4 inches of total vertical movement.
