Work in progress: cantilevered roof car port
After working with an engineer and architect to make sure this would work, we are finally getting this functional sculpture up in the air. The 3 roof truss supports are out of bent 2×3″x3/16″rectangular tubing at 14′ long, bent to a 48′ arc and will go in today. There will be wood purlins across the 3 roof trusses and then a 14ga. steel roof screwed to it. We looked at the possibility of a glass roof, which I think would have looked spectacular, but it was pretty spendy and a lot of dirt to constantly clean made that idea unworkable. More to come as it gets done. There are 8 yds of concrete in the footing about 25,000 lbs.to keep it from falling over. Yah, that should do it!
