I now have all of the fittings/couplings I need to finish the project, and I just received the tarp. If it will stop raining in Austin, I should have this shelter completed in the coming week. Climbing up on the roof with some of the roofing pieces pre-glued, on the ground, should be "interesting." I will need to set the 45º elbows in the uprights to get perfect 90º angles from the plane of each wall. I will dry mount them and then mark them and the uprights when I have the right angles. The 4' roof rafter spans will be easily inserted. Then, I'll need to mark the T's to form the straight roof line runs, then insert the last straight rafter runs going up to the 90º 4-way couplings, which will have to be marked so the straight part of each piece is perfectly parallel to the ground giving a straight ridge beam. Fun times ahead, for sure.
