What happens here
Bring together the pre-assembled wooden sections, aligning their beveled edges to form the desired triangular shape. Using a caulk gun, apply a continuous bead of construction adhesive along the entire length of the joint where the two main sections meet. This adhesive will create a strong, permanent bond for the beam.
Goal: Permanently join the primary wooden sections to form the triangular beam.
