Don't want to get into a pissing contest on this one, but a basement 
storage design does NOT necessarily presume drywall or other 
sheathing.   Most folks do not necessarily finish their basements. If 
a designer knows sheathing is necessary to prevent buckling, then it 
needs to be spec'd on the prints.    Sacie
