I made this porch from old oak trees selected for their shapes and flowing lines. The idea was to create a rain shelter that had a natural look to the construction while providing a roof that is water tight.
This is the detail shot of the corners with its interlocking poles. I love how it looks. It took a lot of work to strip and oil the poles which were cut from standing dead oak saplings.
I used roofing batons to hold the posts firm while i tied in the main roof supports.
It wasn't so easy getting the roof level or the posts true ! I am so happy with the finished result though ! Luckily, so is the customer !
Even though none of the poles are straight The roof is level from left to right across the length and pitched correctly for water run off from top to bottom.
