Hi gang,

Got my first 9x9 sill sawn up for the woodshed out of the 14 plans book by the guild.

Just a question on loading though as I believe Will has 214 psf IIRC. How are the sills supported for that load? only the 4 corners? 6 piers? etc smile

Would love to see some pics of one if it has been constructed already somewhere!

Not sure where it will go in the yard yet.

Bruce,
The long sills are supported under each post and in the middle of the front sill. The one shown here is a variant without the lower truss chord (so it has a bigger ridge) and gable end overhangs.

Thanks Will!

Looks great smile

Do you have any pics you can post of it enclosed? Those timbers look so clean! I hope to start cutting sills this weekend.
