The project proceeds in 4 phases:<br />
1. First is the deck section.<br />
2. Second the truss assemblies.<br />
3. Third the end bents.<br />
4. Lastly, final assembly.<br />
Start first with the deck stringers. The stringers<br />
are 2 sets of 3 timbers 8" x 18" ganged<br />
together. Between the stringer timbers, insert<br />
2” lengths of 1/16” thick plywood or leftover<br />
strip wood as spacers. Use 5 spacers over the<br />
stringer length.<br />
Add some detail to the stringer sets using 18<br />
gauge nails to simulate bolts for mending or<br />
splicing plates. Use a 2” length of angle as a<br />
template to drill pilot holes for the nails.<br />
Glue the stringers and spacers.
