Nice Job, looks great. My motherinlaw is asking for something like this.
Are the 45’s simply screwed into the beam and post or are they mortised and tenoned?

Nice job Kyle. Thanks for sharing.

Very Nice.

The 45’s are screwed in with 6” screws with 1” head. The head pulls in to be flush with the wood creating a clean look. It does a great job of locking everything together but it is very important to pre drill that material.

I did not keep a blog of this project. The structure was assembled in a couple of days and the camera only came out at the end.
