Hi everyone, a family friend needs a new maple sugar shack built.
He is going to let me 'experiment' a bit with the design.
I figured this is a perfect time to try a hammerbeam.
I would like to keep it as basic (cheap) as I can except for the middle truss which will be the hammerbeam.
Board and batten siding, steel roof, concrete piers, followed by a concrete pad. No inspectors to deal with.
Ignoring all timber sizing,lack of joinery and spans..., Does anyone see any obvious flaws in this design?
No cranes/gin pole, large front end loader available, and lots of young manpower.
Thanks in advance.
