With construction permits issued and construction starting shortly, materials and special fabrications have begun. We'll field fabricate the truss, using a shear plate connector that makes a strong hidden connection between wood and steel. Antique reclaimed Pennsylvania white oak reclaimed from a 100 year old barn will be resawn and planed and is going to be gorgeous for the top sloping truss pieces. The webbing is custom fabricated steel. (click images to enlarge).
