This photo was taken prior to the installation of the guttering, nevertheless it gives a clear idea of how the model mimics the way a prototype structure would be built for such an awning. A real awning would have approximately twice as many joists and members as the model but the number in place is more than sufficient to hold up some corrugated aluminium.
Great progress and looks the part.Peter
Thanks Peter. ANZAC Day slowed me down as I was paying my respects but I plan to get back to it over the weekend. I had a fair distance to drive to attend a ceremony but it gave me a chance to think about what I want to do next.
