Just about to say that... I like the look and think it would be a great design for the yard to put a park bench under, but where I live, I would be replacing it in FEB/MAR and then again in Jul/AUG....

Interesting look, I like it. Probably works in GA just fine. It would guess it would fail low on the uprights.
Would never work here unless it was made from steel. It would end up downwind after the first 60 MPH gust

I wonder if there's some hidden structural hardware.

[QUOTE=island911;5485342]still making it up as you go, eh?
 [QUOTE] No, I don't make things up. I will admit my experience with cantilever construction is with aircraft. And in aircraft construction a cantilever is a beam supported on one end only. But I remember your expertise with aircraft.

There are probably some steel gussets sandwiched between the wood members at the joints; the bolts will go through them. |

In Florida we call that an insurance claim.

I simple terms, that is a cantilevered structure..
actually it looks almost statically indeterminate.. but it is not.. the roof is cantilevered from the post... the portion of the roof on the right side is seeing bending stresses also maybe for schiess and giggles I'll do shear, load, and moment diagrams for the structure.. that is for the cantilevered structure

Any of these five conditions can occur singly or in combination
Analysis of the support is pretty easy also.... a braced column

TIMt..that gave me shivers!! those eng diagrams.
i like the structure. i think it looks cool. maybe there isnt much uplift from wind?.i dunno. but those poor columns..i think the upper third is already bending a tiny bit.

looks cool. one less pole to potentially hit when backing out i suppose. i don't know if i would trust it in a wind or snow belt area.

Ha! I haven't seen that joke since my Biophysics Prof. used it on us in class.
When I lived in Wyo. one winter, the wind really did derail a freight train - near Tie Siding, ironically. |

My intuition says the wood frame is going to be an issue once the newness wears off. However, for all we know it could be a substantial metal structure clad in wood to generate controversy among the civilians. Boo ya.
Or it could be engineered like that suspension bridge in Tacoma, WA. YouTube - Tacoma Bridge Sherwood |
