But wait... whats next?!
What happens here
The initial frames of the roof structure and the base deck are already in place. Workers begin the process of framing the walls by installing vertical wooden studs. These studs are precisely measured and cut to fit between the top plate (which is likely integrated into the roof structure's rim joist or header) and the bottom plate (secured to the perimeter of the base deck). Ladders are used extensively to reach the necessary heights for installing and securing these structural members. The studs are spaced according to local building codes, typically 16 or 24 inches on center, forming the skeletal framework of the pavilion's walls.
Goal: Erect the structural framework of the pavilion walls
