I am NOT using nails but I am using 5/8 or 3/4 bolts of varied length to put this all together. So all corners and cross beams will be BOLTED and I am sure this should be fine and would trust my life with it. I am going to take more photos as I go and if there is any other concerns and you have actually built a hut let me know I am more than willing to take ideas, and again thanks for being concerned. This construction I am doing will consisit of the poles show in all of the construction and I am trying to make it look old and used so to speak which is harder than I thought. I am going to keep that tiki theme and run with what I have in my head. By the way AWESOME job on the tiki hut in the photos, its an awesome party place. Take care all..
