The free, subscription-based program is a one-stop online resource center offering timely technical information and recommendations for wood-frame design and construction systems, along with news, industry events and links to a range of product and design recommendations.

Once logged in, subscribers have access to a spectrum of Designers Circle web pages:

•News and Events: The latest publications and updates from APA and the engineered wood industry.

•Engineered Wood Products: Extensive information and details on sheathing, joists and beams/columns, including design properties, product reports, publication downloads and standards.

•Wood-Framed Construction Systems: Information and guides to residential and commercial wood-framed systems, including details for advanced framing, panelized roofs and post-frame building systems, as well as floors, walls and roofs.

Designers Circle subscribers also will receive discounts on literature CDs, a bi-monthly newsletter and direct links to APA’s Product Support Help Desk. Educational opportunities, including continuing education credits through online training and webinars, are planned.
