What happens here
Cover the timber frame with tongue and groove wood planks to create the roof decking. For the uniquely curved radius section, use thinner 3/4 inch pine tongue and groove planks, which can be carefully bent to follow the arc of the timber frame. For the straight pitched roof section, use standard 2-inch tongue and groove planks. Ensure planks are securely fastened to the timber beams.
Goal: Create a solid wooden base for the roofing materials
