SDPWS 4.3.7.1 states “Panels shall not be less than 4’x8’ except at boundaries and changes in framing”. Is anyone aware of any further Code guidance in what a minimum panel width may be at a boundary? If a wall is 9-ft tall, can the contractor install (2) 4' panels and (1) 1' wide strip at top or bottom? I have a minimum panel size of 2’ specified in our contract drawings, and a contractor is questioning the requirement; I have seen hotel projects with 2" strips of sheathing (which I required them to remove and replace).
