Sling Brace Frame #1

Sling brace with the curvature cut on the Robinson Bandsaw.
 Each beam weighing roughly 250 kgs.
Eucalyptus cladocalyx (sugar gum) 200 x 200 mm sawn beams are being laid out over a setting out rod / template.
All joints are transferred up from the template, this is known as 'rafting'.  This ensures all five sling braced frames which make up the ribs of the structure are identical.
The shape of the frame on the right with the stoep section to the left.
Sling brace with tie beam below the apex.
