next up was wrapping the hardware with manila rope to make it look like it had been lashed.
i wrapped the ends of the rope with electrical tape then used finish nails to attach lengths that went over the top and down the other side.

once that was done i wrapped around the uprights.

with the massive hardware i used to attach the 4x4's to the 4x8's, corner braces weren't necessary but i had an idea and i think it panned out.

ok, now we can put a roof on it.
