Install Main Perimeter Beams

What happens here

Once the vertical support columns are securely in place, the crew begins installing the main horizontal beams. These large wooden members span between the columns and are typically secured using heavy-duty connectors, bolts, or lag screws. The video shows workers lifting these long beams into position, often requiring multiple people and temporary supports to hold them in place while they are fastened. These beams form the primary perimeter and structural spine of the new roof.

Goal: Attach the main horizontal beams to the support columns, creating the primary framework for the roof.
