APF build, day 5

Mick, Bob, James and I spent today turning our floorberm into a skyberm.

First posts go in.

Bob checks out the line in to the skyberm.


String marks the level of the decking.


More posts go in.


8 foot long rounds are a pain in the ass!


All the posts are in, so the sky berm comes apart.


It's almost like we designed it like that...


Bearers are notched in to the posts and secured with all-thread. Stringers are laid on the bearers.


The sections are then lifted on to the stringers.


With that done, the stringers are coach bolted to the posts and the triangles bolted to the stringers.


The back sits 90" (7.5 feet) off the ground.


This end is about 5.5 foot up.



Plenty more work to do!
