What happens here

Once the deck framing is complete, the covered structure's framework is erected. Large wooden beams are lifted into position using lifting equipment and secured to posts and the house structure. Rafters are then installed atop these beams to form the roof's skeletal structure. This frame will later support the roof sheeting.

Goal: Erect the covered structure's frame and install roof sheeting.
