If those who are not familiar with them, they are installed in pairs / The serrations on one side of each washer grab each other, preventing loosening from vibrations and hot/cold cycling. They come in various sizes based on the size of the bolt/stud being tightened.

First thing I noticed was the 3D rendering shows a man-door beside the 2x garage doors. That man-door does not appear on the dimensional drawing. Ooops. You also need to account for windows in the dimensional drawing. I am not an engineer but I think putting a staircase on a wall (interior or...
