Shear Wall Mistake - HELP!
Ok guys I messed up. I hired a local fly-by-night shed builder to build a 10x12 shed. My girlfriend has chemical sensitivity so I asked for a double layer of cedar on the exterior instead of cedar over plywood. GF wanted something with all wood and no glues so I asked for this without really thinking. Only after the build was complete did the term "shear wall" emerge from somewhere deep in my memory bank. Did a little bit of Googling and realized the error.
The interior siding was not a part of the shed package so the interior studs are still exposed. We will do the inerior siding later on our own.
The question - is there a way to create a shear wall by adding interior cross bracing of some sort? If so, what is the methodology? We could of course add plywood to the inside, but that solution is not ideal for the stated reasons. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
