How does anyone feel about the reinforcement of the high side wall of a shed roof home? Does that wall need more than a normal 2x4 construction?

Attachments did not work.

Your 16' high balloon framed wall is doable, even doable by prescriptive design and not needing engineering. Would have to min. 2 x 5 (yes 5") or more likely 2 x 6 framing @ 16" o.c.
