A structural webbing to be custom cut and fit to individual job sites, allowing for the reduction or elimination of traditional beams used in structural building. Webbing uses angular forces to bear loads, resulting in distributed loads not requiring thick beams. Elimination of beams allows for significant reduction in resource consumption and increase in thermal efficiency of structure. Webbing allows elimination of thermal shorts and increased space for insulating materials. Webbing consists of alternating nodes and members, wherein members are disposed at positive and negative angles to the nodes, creating a zig-zag pattern. Can be used in straight line for walls, window headers, doors, etc., or in curves or other more elaborate shapes for curved windows, etc. Suitable for load bearing walls, upper and lower floors. Nodes can be coupled with standard structural members such as king studs, head pieces, and top and bottom plates. 1. A structural webbing , comprising: a first node, the first node including one hole; and', 'a first lateral member, the one lateral member coupled to the first node;, 'a first segment, the first segment including a second node, the second node including one hole; and', 'a second lateral member, the second lateral member coupled to the second node; and', 'a third node coupled with the second lateral member, the third node including one hole; and, 'a second segment, the second segment includingwherein the first segment and the second segment are permanently coupled at the second node.2. The structural webbing of claim 1 , further comprising: a third lateral member; and', 'a fourth node coupled with the third lateral member, the fourth node including one hole;, 'a third segment, the third segment including a fourth lateral member; and', 'a fifth node coupled with the fourth lateral member, the fifth node including one hole;, 'a fourth segment, the fourth segment includingwherein the second segment and the third segment are permanently ...
