By the time you pay for and cut and drill for the steel plates you can do a large portion of the joinery with traditional mortise and tenon, supplemented with tension steel as needed.

Simpson strong tie has some off the shelf steel plates.


You can also buy the 14 Frames book in the TFG store. There are several shelters.

And head to Kentucky for the TFG raising for the Frankfort Paviliion. I think it is 24x40.
