Holding up well so far. Survived a recent storm with winds that tore the roofs off conventionally framed structure. 24 foot 2X12 ridge pole, supported by three 4X6 poles. Steel angle brackets secure the ridge pole to the uprights. Center load is carried by three sets of double 2x10, running to 6x6 posts set four feet in concrete. All through-bolted with carriage bolts. Rafters are 2x8 with 2x4 cross-purlins to prevent wracking. All construction is carriage bolt, lag screw or exterior screw - no nails. I think it rather well engineered, myself. The building inspector agreed. [ Edited by: Tiki Zen 2008-03-10 12:05 ] [ Edited by: Tiki Zen 2008-03-10 12:07 ]
