I’m getting married at the end of the month and the reception will be at our house. Rather than renting a tent I decided to cover our deck. The main part of the house is a log cabin built in 1930 so I thought it would look cool to frame it with landscape timbers. The purlins are 2×4s and the covering is just a white poly tarp. I think I have about $600 in the project, and more time than I like to admit. The deck and the railing were already there I just added it on top of them.

Congrats on the wedding and the build looks great. I love the scissor truss as I used it on my wife’s carport(since I took over the garage)

Looks very nice. You are going to leave it up … RIGHT? Adds a bit of charm to the deck and besides, it’s Too nice to take down. (even without the tarp)
Oh yeah, CONGRATS!

I like it a lot. Do you happen to have pictures of how you built the trusses?
