Green Larch Timber Frame

[dervishcarving]

days? to put it up took 8 or so hours i think. every section had been put together and checked first so it all slotted together easily. but to cut all the timber and joints took months

Finally finished! Well, 99.99%....

 

Quite 'industrial' looking compared to some of the other projects I've seen on here, but should be really useful for air drying and storing timber. The picture below shows the side away from the prevailing winds which is open and has a roof overhang to keep most of the rain out. That, plus the ventilating cladding detail and genorous gaps around the bottom should give plenty of airflow. There is a double door on the side wall and the larch frame is now completely sheltered from direct rain. Nails, hinges, etc. are A4 stainless steel as it is next to the sea so hopefully it will outlast me by a long way.
