We should have had a crane! Outdoor kitchen build with a twist!
What happens here
After the main arched bents are in place, long, straight Douglas fir timber beams are lifted by the telehandler and secured, connecting the newly installed bents to the existing structure. These beams help define the roof structure and provide support for the eventual roofing materials. Workers on ladders guide the beams into their mortise and tenon joints.
Goal: Connect new bents to existing structure with long beams
